Having a Problem? SITUATION PROBABLE CAUSE & SOLUTION OPENER DOESN'T OPERATE FROM EITHER WALL PUSH SUTTON OR TRANSMITTER 1. Have you disengaged all door locks? Review Step 8, Page 14 2. Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outleL If it doesn't light, check fuse box or circuit breaker (Some outlets are con- trolled by a wall switch). 3. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes Try again 4. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? Door may be frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction 5. Remove bellwire from opener terminal& Touch red and white screw ter- minals together with a jumper wire If opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at wall push button or a short under staples. OPENER OPERATES FROM TRANSMITTER BUT NOT FROM WALL PUSH BUTTON 1. Is wall push button lit? If not, refer to No. 5 above and follow same procedure. 2_ Are wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, Pg,13. DOOR OPERATES FROM WALL PUSH BUTTON BUT NOT FROM THE TRANSMITTER 1 Does the battery test light glow when transmitter push button is pressed? If not, replace the battery (Page 5 tells you how.) 2 If you have two transmitters and only one operates, review code setting procedures on Page 1 9 Receiver and ALL transmitters must be set to same code_ & Is transmitter(s) operating additional remote control devices? See code setting procedures on Page 1 9 4. Did you press transmitter button designated to operate garage door opener? 5 Re-program receiver(s) and ALL transmitters, Try setting ALL the code switches in plus, center or minus positions. If transmitter(s) works, you can try a random code switch setting again, if you desire. TRANSMITTER HAS SHORT RANGE 1_ Check battery test light If the light is out, change the battery(Page 5 tells you how). 2. Change the location of transmitter in the car. 3 A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce transmission range. 4. Check to be sure the antenna on the back panel of the opener extends fully downward. THE GARAGEDOOROPENS AND CLOSES SYITSELF 1 Is there a neighborwith a garage door opener using the same frequency code? Change your code Review Page 19. 2. Check to makesure that the transmitter push button(s) is not stuckin the 'down' position 3. Remove bell wire from opener terminals and operate from transmitter only If this solves the problem, the wall push button is faulty (replace), or there is a short or broken wire between push button and opener DOOR DOESN'TOPEN COMPLETE_ 1. Is something obstructing the door? 2. If door opens at least 5 feet, travel limits may need to be increased One turn equals 2 inches of travel See Pg 1 7. Repeat Safety Reverse Test after adjustment is complete 3. If door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase UP FORCE See Pg. 17 Repeat Safety Reverse Test after adjust- ment is complete DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE COMPLETELY 1. Review the Travel Limits Adjustment Chart on Page 17. Repeat Safety Reverse Test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down limit. 2o

Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes Try again 4. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? Door may be frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction 5. Remove bellwire from opener terminal& Touch red and white screw ter- minals together with a jumper wire If opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at wall push button or a short under staples.

If not, replace the battery (Page 5 tells you how.) 2 If you have two transmitters and only one operates, review code setting procedures on Page 1 9 Receiver and ALL transmitters must be set to same code_ & Is transmitter(s) operating additional remote control devices? See code setting procedures on Page 1 9 4. Did you press transmitter button designated to operate garage door opener? 5 Re-program receiver(s) and ALL transmitters, Try setting ALL the code switches in plus, center or minus positions. If transmitter(s) works, you can try a random code switch setting again, if you desire. TRANSMITTER HAS SHORT RANGE 1_ Check battery test light If the light is out, change the battery(Page 5 tells you how). 2. Change the location of transmitter in the car. 3 A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce transmission range. 4. Check to be sure the antenna on the back panel of the opener extends fully downward.
