position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.

7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle
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 is not aligned
correctly, the door won't close from any remote
control transmitter. You can close the door with the
Door Control, the Outside Keylock, or the Keyless
Entry, however, if you press and
hold
the button/push
bar until down travel is complete. If you release the
button/push bar too soon, the door will
reverse.
The opener lights will
blink for 5 seconds
when the
safety reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.
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. They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2
minutes or provide constant light when the Light
feature is activated. Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.
The lockout feature
prevents the trolley from
reconnecting auto-
matically. Pull the
manual release handle
down and back (toward
the opener). The door
can then be raised and
lowered manually as
often as necessary. To
disengage the Lockout
Feature, pull the manual
handle straight down.
The trolley will reconnect
on the next UP or
DOWN operation.
