opener and hand-held remote
control have been factory programmed to a matching
code which changes with each use, randomly accessing
over 100 billion new codes. Your opener will operate with
several Security
®
remote controls up to 12 functions,
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 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 and cable tension monitor 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
will not close from a hand-held remote. However, you can
close the door with the Door Control, the Outside Key
lock, or Keyless Entry, if you activate them until down
travel is complete. If you release them too soon, the door
