Operation
Using your Garage Door Opener
The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keyless
entry or myQ
®
App.
When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door makes contact
with an obstruction while opening, the door will stop, opener beeps and lights flash 5 times. When the door is in
any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated, the door will close. If the garage door
makes contact with an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse, opener beeps and lights flash 5 times.
However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully
closed.
The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
The garage door opener lights will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in, the opener is activated, or
power is restored after interruption. The garage door opener lights automatically turn off after a set length of
time. To adjust the light settings, see
Using your Door Control.
