Using the Remote Control NOTE: To activate the remote control functions, pull out the plastic pull tab protruding from the remote control housing. This remote control is equipped with a proximity lighting feature. When moving a hand within close proximity to the remote control, the LED lights turn on for 3 seconds. Upon successful activation of a remote control button, the LED lights will blink rapidly. Proximity Disable Feature The remote control will turn off the proximity lighting feature if the proximity lighting is turned on 10 consecutive times without activation of a button. To re-enable the proximity lighting, simply press a button. This function conserves battery life. To Control the Opener Lights With 315 MHz Security✚® remote controls, a remote push button can be programmed to operate the opener lights without opening the door. 1. With the door closed, press and hold the remote button that you want to control the light. 2. Press and hold the Light button on the Smart Control Panel®. 3. Press and hold the Lock button on the Smart Control Panel®. 4. After the opener lights flash, release all buttons. Test by pressing the remote push button. The opener lights should turn on or off but the door should not move. The Remote Control Battery To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: • NEVER allow small children near batteries. • If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor. To reduce risk of fire, explosion or chemical burn: • Replace ONLY with 3V2016 or 3V2450 coin batteries. • DO NOT recharge, disassemble, heat above 100° C (212° F) or incinerate. The 3V2016 lithium batteries for the opener and LED lights (marked "LED and Opener Battery") should last 5 years. The 3V2450 lithium battery for the proximity lighting (marked "Proximity Battery") should last 1-2 years. To replace the batteries, remove the two screws and open the remote control housing. Push the battery out of the holder for removal. Insert replacement batteries positive side up. Dispose of old batteries properly. Replace the batteries with only 3V2016 or 3V2450 coin cell batteries. LED and Opener Batteries Proximity Battery Spring Contact CAUTION: Do not bend spring contact. If bent the proximity sensor will not work. Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION Reduced proximity sensing (does not activate by touching top of remote control) Check if proximity lighting is disabled by pressing a button. The Proximity Sensor may be oversensitized. Sit remote control undisturbed for 60 seconds on a non-metallic surface. This allows the sensor to recalibrate itself. Replace 3V2450 battery with same type 3V2450 coin cell. Dim LED lights Replace two 3V2016 batteries with same type 3V2016 coin cells. NOTICE: To comply with FCC and or Industry Canada (IC) rules, adjustment or modifications of this receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code setting or replacing the battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. Tested to Comply with FCC Standards FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. No rapid LED blinking Replace two 3V2016 batteries with after pressing a button same type 3V2016 coin cells. 28
