Introduction
Preparing Your Garage Door
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
• Disable locks.
• Remove any ropes connected to the
garage door.
Complete the following test to make sure
the garage door is balanced and is not
sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door halfway up. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in
place, supported entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to check for
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of
balance, call a trained door systems
technician.
3. Verify equal cable tension on each side
of door. Cable tension should remain
equal during the entire travel of the
door.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120 V, 60 Hz to avoid malfunction and
damage.
• DO NOT exceed 10 complete cycles of door operation per hour.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is
out of balance. An unbalanced garage door may NOT reverse when required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door springs, cables, pulleys,
brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to garage door BEFORE
installing and operating garage door opener to avoid entanglement.

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensor will detect an obstacle
in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an amber indicator light)
transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an
obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse
to full open position, and the opener lights will fl ash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving eyes face
each other across the door, no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the fl oor. Either can be
installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors
without additional hardware.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to
a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available
if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to
avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (door
tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door
is closing.
Be sure power is NOT connected to the
garage door opener BEFORE installing
the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
from a closing garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the
safety reversing sensor. This
required safety device MUST NOT be
disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so
beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm)
above garage fl oor.

Troubleshooting
The garage door opener doesn't operate from either the Door Control or the remote control:
• Does the garage door opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit
breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 7.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced (see page 3 for reference).
• If the yellow command LED does not turn on, reverse the wires connected to the RED and WHT terminals of the control panel.
Replace wire if necessary.
The yellow and red LEDs on the Door Control are blinking quickly:
• The control panel is charging, and may take up to 5 minutes to become operational.
My remote control will not activate the garage door:
• Verify the lock feature is not activated on the door control.
• Reprogram the remote control.
• If the remote control will still not activate the door check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener is working properly.
The remote control has short range:
• Change the location of the remote control in your car.
• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of the garage door opener extends fully downward.
• Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.
The door doesn't open completely:
• Check power door lock.
• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.
The door opens but won't close:
• Check cable tension monitor (see Installation Step 4).
• If the garage door opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor (see Installation Step 9).
• If the garage door opener lights don’t blink and it is a new installation (see Adjustment Step 2). For an existing installation, see
below.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door reverses for no apparent reason and garage door opener lights don’t blink:
• Check cable tension monitor (see Installation Step 4).
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergency release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call
a trained door systems technician.
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage fl oor area where the door closes.
• Review Adjustment Step 2.
Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.
Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting (Continued)
My door will not close and the light bulbs blink:
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
• Verify the safety sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions.
The garage door opener strains to operate door:
• The door may be out of balance or the springs may be broken. Close the door and use the emergency release handle to disconnect
the door. Open and close the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely
by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the garage door opener and call a trained door systems technician.
The garage door opener motor hums briefl y, then won't work:
• The garage door springs may be broken. See above.
• If the problem occurs on the fi rst operation of the garage door opener, door may be locked. Disable the power door lock.
The garage door opener won't operate due to power failure:
• Manually open the power door lock.
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored,
pull manual release a second time.
• If a Battery Backup is connected, the opener should be able to operate up to 20 times without power.
Door loses limits.
• Collar not tightened securely. Tighten collar (see Assembly Steps 1 and 2) and reprogram limits (see Adjustment Step 1).
The garage door opener moves when the door is in operation:
• Some minor movement is normal for this product. If it is excessive the collar will wear prematurely.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not moving left/right excessively.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not visibly moving up and down as it rotates.
• Check that the opener is mounted at a right angle to the jackshaft. If not, move the position of the mounting bracket.
Power lock makes noise when operating.
• Call LiftMaster® dealer for replacement power lock.
