THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM® (SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS)
When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times. If the door is fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed or are misaligned, the door will not close from a remote control. 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.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light.
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lights will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. An incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum) or for maximum energy effi ciency a 26W (100W equivalent) compact fl uorescent light (CFL) bulb may be used.
Light Feature
The garage door opener is equipped with an added feature; the lights will turn on when someone enters through the open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is broken. For added control over the light bulbs on your garage door opener.
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™ accessory. When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop. 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 senses an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse. 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 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.

- NEVER use an emergency release handle unless the garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
- NEVER use a handle to pull the door open or closed. If the rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

The battery charges when the garage door opener is plugged into a 110Vac electrical outlet that has power and requires 24 hours to fully charge. A fully charged battery supplies 12Vdc to the garage door opener for one to two days of normal operation during an electrical power outage. After the electrical power has been restored, the battery will recharge within 24 hours. The battery will last approximately 1 to 2 years with normal usage. Instructions for replacement are provided with the battery. To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, disconnect the battery when the garage door opener is unplugged for an extended period of time.
