To Control the Opener Lights

With Security Plus transmitters, a remote push button can be programmed to operate the opener lights without opening the door.

1. With the door closed, press and hold the remote button that you want to control the light.
2. Press and hold the Light button on the door control.
3. Press and hold the Lock button on the door control.
4. After the opener lights flash, release all buttons.

Test by pressing the remote push button. The opener lights should turn on or off but the door should not move.

Open/Close/Stop Operation

Your Security Plus remote control can be programmed to operate one door using all 3 buttons: the large button will only open the door, the middle button will only close the door, and the third button will stop the door’s movement. You may set up this feature as follows:

When the opener lights flash, release all buttons. Test by pressing the large (Open) button on the remote. The door should open. Press it again while the door is open and nothing should happen. Press the middle (Close) button and the door should close. Press the third (Stop) button while the door is moving and it should stop immediately.

Warning

Children operating or playing with a garage door opener can injure themselves or others. The garage door could close and cause serious injury or death. Do not allow children to operate the wall push buttons or remote controls. A moving garage door could injure or kill someone under
it. Activate the opener only when you can see the door clearly, it is free of obstructions, and is properly adjusted.
