OPERATION 

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 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.

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 Outdoor Key Switch, or Keyless Entry, 
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 power is restored 
after interruption; when the opener is activated. 

They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes or provide 
constant light when the Light feature on the Motion Detecting 
Control Console is activated. Bulb size is A19. Bulb power is 100 
watts maximum.

Security® light feature: Lights will also turn on when someone 
walks through the open garage door. With a Motion Detecting 
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, then off again. To restore this 
feature, start with the opener lights on, then press and hold the 
light button for 10 seconds until the light goes off, then on again.
