Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your Security✚ ® garage door 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
garage door 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

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 or bar 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.
