OPERATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your Security✚ opener and hand-held remote control
have been factory-set to a matching code which
changes with each use, randomly accessing over
100 billion new codes. Your opener will operate with
up to eight Security✚ remote controls and one
Security✚ Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a
new remote, or if you wish to deactivate any remote,
follow the instructions in the Programming section.
Activate your opener with any of the following:
• The hand-held Remote Control: Hold the large
push button down until the door starts to move.
• The wall-mounted Door Control: Hold the push
button down until the door starts to move.
• The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided
with your garage door opener, it must be
programmed before use. See Programming.
When the opener is activated (with the safety
reversing sensor correctly installed and aligned)
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, it will open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop.
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse. If
the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the
opener lights will blink for five seconds.
WARNING
CAUTION
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. If fully open, the door will not close when the beam
is broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening
cycle.
If the sensor is not installed, or is misaligned, the
door won't close from a hand-held remote. However,
you can close the door with the Door Control, the
Outdoor Key Switch, or Keyless Entry, if you activate
them until down travel is complete. If you release
them too soon, the door will reverse.
The opener lights will turn on under the following
conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in;
when power is restored after interruption; when the
opener is activated.
They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes or
provide constant light when the Light feature on the
Motion Detecting Control Console is activated. Bulb
size is 100 watts maximum.
Security ✚ Light Feature: Lights will also turn on
when someone walks through the open garage door.
With a Motion Detecting Control Console, this feature
may be turned off as follows: With the opener lights
off, press and hold the light button for 10 seconds,
until the light goes on and off again. To restore this
feature, start with the opener lights on, then press
and hold the light button for 10 seconds until the light
goes off, then on again.
