• The Remote Control: Hold push button down until
the door starts to move.
• The Door Control: Hold push button down until the

• The Outdoor Key Switch or Keyless Entry.
(See Accessories)
When the opener is activated with the safety
reversing sensor installed and correctly 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 (allowing space for
entry and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle,
and the opener lights will blink for 5 seconds, when
the invisible beam is broken. 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 not aligned correctly,
the door won't close from any remote control. You
can close the door with the Door Control, the
Outdoor Key Switch, or Keyless Entry, however, 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 the power is interrupted; when the opener is
activated. It will turn off automatically after 4-1/2
minutes or provide constant light when the Light
feature on the Premium Control Console is activated.
Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.
SECURITY models: Lights will also turn on when
someone walks through the open garage door. With
a Premium 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.
(SECURITY models: See additional programming features, next page.)
Press the lighted push button to open or close the
door.
Press again to reverse the door during the closing
cycle or to stop the door while it's opening.
Premium Console:
Light feature: Press the large round Light button. If
the opener light is off, it will turn on. If the opener
light is on, (even in the 4-1/2 minute automatic
cycle) it will turn off.
But if you use the Light button to turn the lights on
and then activate the opener, the lights will turn off
after 4-1/2 minutes.
The Light button will not control the opener lights
when the door is in motion.
