Standard Equipment & Warranty
Features & Benefits
POWER & CONTROL
DC Motor Smart Technology – The DC motor offers quiet performance. The DC
motor also gives the ability to integrate Soft Start & Stop control, meaning
the door begins and ends its travel smoothly instead of abruptly. This also
helps create less noise and less wear and tear on your door.
C-Channel Rail – Strong rail design helps promote durability and safety.
Also conceals the belt (or chain) for better appearance.
Belt or Chain Drive – Choose the belt drive option for quieter operation
or chain drive for economical value.
SAFETY
Safe-T-Beam ® Non-Contact Reversing System – When objects pass through the
infrared beam, the garage door automatically stops closing and reverses open
without having to make physical contact with the door.
SECURITY
Intellicode ® Access Security System – Genie’s superior encryption
technology prevents piracy of the radio signal that operates your door by
always selecting a new code from billions of combinations each time the opener
is operated.
Sure-Lock ™
Control – This allows you to lockout remote controls and wireless keypad
at any time for increased security – also known as a vacation lock.
CONVENIENCE
Battery Backup – No more unexpectedly getting locked outside the garage
when the power goes out!
Auto Seek Dual Frequency – The internal system automatically uses either
the 315 or 390 MHz frequency produced by the remote control or keypad to help
ensure the opener responds regardless of potential nearby frequency
interference, such as military base equipment.
Pre-Programmed Remote – Ready to use out-of-the-box with simple steps to
change the programming if so desired.
HomeLink ® & Car2U ® Compatible – Works with current and ALL previous
versions of HomeLink ® or Car2U ®. No additional external repeater kit or
compatibility bridge is needed.
Convenience Options
Genie ® Garage Door Opener LED Bulb
Common LED and CFL bulbs can emit interference to limit the range of garage
door remotes. Incandescent light bulbs, which are being phased out due to
energy inefficiency, can have their lives shortened by vibration associated
with opener operation. The Genie LED bulb solves these and other problems to
ensure the garage door opener light doesn’t leave your garage in the dark!
DC motor also gives the ability to integrate Soft Start & Stop control,
meaning the door!
Aladdin Connect®
Remotely monitor and control your garage door from almost anywhere with your
smart device. Time-based features allow you to set the door to automatically
close and/or notify after a set length of time; as well as schedule a specific
hour and minute to close the door and/or notify when it does. Also allows for
multiple individual user accounts so you can provide virtual key access for
your garage door to a friend, relative, or service person for a certain time,
a range of time, or permanently.
Use the Aladdin Connect app to control any combination of 20 different Genie
Wi-Fi integrated garage door openers or standalone Aladdin Connect Door
Control Modules.
Wireless Keypad
Easy-to-program keypad mounts outside your door to give you convenient code
access to your garage, which is great when you are outside without the remote
control. The back-lit keypad lets you easily see the numbers & control up to 3
openers. Uses Auto-Seek Dual Frequency (315/390 MHz). ] 
Choose a color for the flip-up cover that best complements your home. White is standard, other colors sold separately.
1-Button Remote
Simple yet versatile one-button remote features auto-seek dual-frequency. Can
be used on a keychain or as a traditional visor-style remote. Backward
compatible with all Intellicode ® equipped Genie garage door openers.
Wireless Wall Console
An attractive wall console that’s completely wireless for flexible placement
in the garage. Enjoy the optional pulsing back-light as well as the delay
button that gives ample time (up to 30 seconds) to exit the garage before the
door begins moving. The work light button can turn just the opener’s light on
at any time. Compatible with most Genie Intellicode ® openers made since
2013.
