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 ten Security÷ ® remote controls, one
Security+ ® KeylessEntry System, and one accessory wall
control. If you purchase a new remote, or if you wish to
deactivate any remote, follow the instructions in the Programming
section.
Activateyour opener with any of the following:
• The hand-held Remote Control: Hold the large push button
down until the door starts to move.
• The waft-mounted door control: Hold the push button or bar
down until the door starts to move.
• The KeylessEntry (seeAccessories): If provided with your
garage door opener, it must be programmed before use. See
Programming.
Whenthe opener is activated (with the safety reversingsensor
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.
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.
