THE TRANSMITTER: The 3-channel transmitter will operate more than one garage door opener, if desired. The additional push buttons may also be used to operate other remote con- trol devices. Transmitter(s) may be secured to a car sun visor with clip(s) provided. Additional transmitters can be purchased at any time (Refer to Accessories, Pg_ 2)

Any new transmitters must be set to the same code as original transmitter and receive_ Page 19 explains how to change your existing code and how to use the transmitter(s) with other remote control devices Self service of your radio con-

trois is not recommended If service is needed, contact your nearest Sears Service Center

TRANSMITTER BATTERY: The 9-Volt battery should pre- d_ce power for approximately one year As long as there is

adequate power, the transmitter battery test light will glow when a push button is pressed (and the opener will operate) When the light does not come on, replace battery If transmis- sion range lessens, check battery light

Avoid the inconvenience of unexpected failure by replacing battery annually, preferably before winter Use a general purpose, 9 volt battery

STE P 1 Position & Install Header Bracket

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow onlytbose instructions which applyto your door as illustrated below.,

THE HEADER BRACKET MUST BE RIGIDLY FASTENED TO TH E H EADER WALL OR CEILING,, REINFORCE WALL OR CEILING WITH 2x4 IF NECESSARY,

1 With door closed, locate and mark the vertical centerline of garage door Extend line onto header wall above door

2, Locate height for header bracket by opening door to highest point of travel as shown, Draw an inter- secting horizontal line on header wall 2" above high point This height provides travel clearance for top edge of door

NOTE: When headroom is not su fficient for 2" clearance, the bottom edge of bracket may be placed parallel to the high point of travel, or bracket may be attached to ceiling.

Door Clearance Brackets are designed for low headroom installations(Page 2). They replace top brackets and rollers on the garage door,

thereby lowering the high point of door travel. Installation instructions are contained in the

accessory ca_on,,

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 ajumper wire If opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at wall push button or a short under staples.

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.

1Does the battery test light glow when transmitter push button is pressed? If not, replace the battery (Page 5 tells you how.)

2If you have two transmitters and only one operates, review code setting

procedures on Page 19 Receiver and ALL transmitters must be set to same code_

&Is transmitter(s) operating additional remote control devices? See code setting procedures on Page 19

4.Did you press transmitter button designated to operate garage door opener?

5Re-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.

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.

1Isthere 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

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 17. 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

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.
