Using Your Garage Door Opener
FEATURES
Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your garage door operation.
-
Alert2Close
The Alert2Close feature provides a visual and an audible alert that an unattended door is closing. -
TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)
The TTC feature automatically closes the door after a specified time period that can be adjusted using a TTC enabled door control (Models 881LMW or 880LMW). Prior to and during the door closing the garage door opener lights will blink and the garage door opener will beep. myQ Remote LED Light must be installed to use TTC or myQ to control the door. -
myQ
myQ allows you to control your garage door opener from your mobile device or computer from anywhere. myQ technology uses a 900Mhz signal to provide two way communication between the garage door opener and myQ enabled accessories. The garage door opener has an internal gateway that allows the garage door opener to communicate directly with a home Wi-Fi network and access your myQ account. -
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 full open position. 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. For more information see page 22. -
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The light will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. -
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 makes contact with an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop, opener beeps and lights blink 5 times. 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. 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. -
BATTERY BACKUP
The battery backup system allows access in and out of your garage, even when the power is out. When the garage door opener is operating on battery power, the garage door opener will run slower, the light will not function, the Battery Status LED will glow solid orange, and a beep will sound approximately every 2 seconds.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Safety & Maintenance Guide
Garage Door Opener Safety – An Automatic Decision
- A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes – which could lead to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.
- Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system.
- Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm.
- Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this brochure carefully and keep it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function in a safe and trouble-free manner.
- Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door opener’s manual as it provides more details and safety considerations than can be supplied with this brochure.
Garage Door Openers are Not Toys
Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.
Stay away from a moving door.
Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children. Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control devices.
The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the closing garage door.
Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the wall-mounted push button or transmitter.
Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine. Review your owner’s manual for both the door and door opener. If you don’t have the owner’s manuals, contact the manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.
WARNING – Springs are under high tension. Only qualified individuals should adjust them.
Visually check the door and installation
- Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
- Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
- These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
- If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
- Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6″ from the garage floor.
Test the door for proper operation
- Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
- The door should move freely and without difficulty.
- The door should balance and stay partially open 3–4 feet above the floor.
- If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
Test the opener safety features
- Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
- Place a 2×4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2×4 and then reverse direction.
- Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
- If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
