INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION
1. The Safe-T-Beam
®
 has no effect on the door during an opening cycle.
2. If the Safe-T-Beam
®
 detects an obstruction when trying to close the 
door, it will not allow the door to close.
3.   When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam
®
 is interrupted by 
a person or obstacle, the garage door will stop its downward travel 
and reverse automatically to its fully opened position.
4. If the Safe-T-Beam
®
 System fails, loses power, or is installed 
   improperly, press and hold the wall console “open/close” button 
until the door reaches its fully closed position. If you release the 
“open/close” button on the wall console during the 
closing 
movement, the door will reverse automatically to its fully-opened 
position.
