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 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 supplied 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. 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 Outside Keylock, or Keyless Entry, if you activate them until down travel is complete. If you release them too soon, the door will reverse. The opener light 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. The light will also turn on when someone walks through the open garage door. It will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is A19. Bulb power is 75 watts maximum. 31
