IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of 

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

1.   READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND 

INSTRUCTIONS.

2.   ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of 

children. NEVER permit children to operate or play 
with door control push buttons or remote controls. 

3.   ONLY activate door when it can be seen clearly, it is 

properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to 
door travel.

4.   ALWAYS keep garage door in sight and away from 

people and objects until completely closed. NO ONE 
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.

5.   NO ONE SHOULD GO UNDER A STOPPED, 

PARTIALLY OPENED DOOR.

6.   If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage

using this release with the door open. Weak or broken 
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open 
door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly and increasing 
the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

7.   NEVER use emergency release handle unless doorway 

is clear of persons and obstructions.

system MUST be tested. Failure to adjust the garage 
door opener properly may cause SEVERE INJURY or 
DEATH.

9.   Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month. 

Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) 
high object (or a 2x4 laid fl at) on the fl oor. Failure to 
adjust the garage door opener properly may cause 
SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

10.  ALWAYS KEEP DOOR PROPERLY BALANCED (see 

page 4). An improperly balanced door may NOT 
reverse when required and could result in SEVERE 
INJURY or DEATH.

11.  ALL repairs to cables, spring assemblies and 

other hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME 
tension, MUST be made by a trained door systems 
technician.

12.  To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH 

from electrocution, disconnect ALL electric and 
battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or 
maintenance.

13.  This operator system is equipped with an 

unattended operation feature. The door could move 
unexpectedly. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH 
OF THE MOVING DOOR.

14. 

 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Operation

Your garage door opener has already 
been programmed at the factory to 
operate with your remote control, 
which changes with each use, 
randomly accessing over 100 billion 
new codes. When programmed to the 
Chamberlain

®

 Internet Gateway you 

can monitor and control your garage 
door from your smartphone. 
You may program the myQ

®

 control 

panel with up to:
•  12 remote controls 
• 2 keypads
•   a combination of 16 myQ

®

 

accessories

See Accessories page 38.
The garage door opener can be 
activated through a wall-mounted 
door control, remote control, wireless 
keypad or myQ

®

 accessory. When 

the door is closed and the garage 
door opener is activated the door will 
open. If the door makes contact with 
an obstruction or is interrupted while 
opening the door will stop, opener 
beeps and lights fl ash 5 times.

Using Your Garage Door Opener

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 opener 
makes contact with an obstruction 
while closing, the door will reverse, 
opener beeps and lights fl ash 5 times. 
If the obstruction interrupts the 
sensor beam the garage door opener 
lights will blink 10 times. However, 
you can close the door if you hold the 
button on the door control or wireless 
keypad 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 garage door 
opener is activated. They will turn off 
automatically after 4-1/2 minutes or 
provide constant light when the Light 
feature on the myQ

®

 Control Panel 

is activated. Bulb size is A19. Bulb 
power is 100 watts maximum.

Light feature:

 Lights will also turn 

on when someone walks through 
the open garage door. With a myQ

®

 

Control Panel, this feature may be 
turned off as follows: With the garage 
door 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 
garage door opener lights on, then 
press and hold the light button for 10 
seconds until the light goes off, then 
on again.

TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)

The TTC feature automatically closes 
the door after a specifi ed time period 
that can be adjusted using a TTC 
enabled door control. Prior to and 
during the door closing, the garage 
door opener lights will fl ash and the 
garage door opener will beep.
