The Timer-to-Close (TTC) feature, the myQ App, and myQ Garage Door and Gate Monitor are examples of unattended close and are to be used ONLY with sectional doors. Any device or feature that allows the door to close without being in the line of sight of the door is considered unattended close. Do not install on a one-piece door if using devices or features providing unattended close.

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure to make a permanent connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top of the motor unit:

1. Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to the circuit.

2. Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.

3. Cut the power cord 6 inch (15.2 cm) from the top of the garage door opener.

4. Remove the strain relief.

5. Pull the power cord wires back into the garage door opener.

6. Install conduit or flex cable adapter in the 7/8 inch hole.

7. Run the permanent wires through the conduit in the 7/8 inch hole. Strip the insulation from the ends of all wires.

8. Connect the black (line) wire to the existing black wire; the white (neutral) wire to the existing white wire; and the ground wire to the existing green ground wire with wire nut. The opener must be grounded.

9. Properly secure the wires with plastic ties so that the wires do not come in contact with moving parts.

Make sure your mobile device is connected to your Wi-Fi network. Hold your mobile device in the place where your garage door opener is installed and check the Wi-Fi signal strength.

If you see a strong Wi-Fi signal, the garage door opener will connect to your Wi-Fi network.

If you see a weak Wi-Fi signal, the garage door opener may connect to your Wi-Fi network. If not, try moving your router closer to the garage door opener to minimize interference from walls and other objects or buy a Wi-Fi range extender.

If you see no Wi-Fi signal, the garage door opener will not be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Try moving your router closer or buying a Wi-Fi range extender.

1. Download the myQ app and setup your account if you haven’t already.

2. Follow the instructions in the app to setup and use the camera.

The camera powers up when it is opened and powers down when closed. Note that the myQ app control and camera will not work if the garage door opener is operating on battery power.

Note: Disengage any door locks before proceeding. The door should be fully closed if possible.

1. Pull down on the emergency release handle.

To use the Lockout Feature:

1. Pull the emergency release handle down and back. The door can then be raised and lowered manually as often as necessary.

2. To disengage the lockout feature, pull the handle straight down.

The trolley will reconnect on the next time the opener is activated.

The battery backup allows access in and out of your garage when the power is out. When the garage door opener is operating on battery power, the garage door opener will run slower and the lights, Timer-to-Close, and remote close features (myQ App) are disabled. During a power outage, the battery supplies power for up to 24 hours of operation.

Green battery status LED: All systems are normal.

A solid green LED light indicates the battery is fully charged.

A flashing green LED indicates the battery is being charged.

Orange battery status LED: The garage door opener has lost power and is in battery backup mode.

Solid orange LED while the motor is on indicates the garage door opener is operating on battery power.

A flashing orange LED while the motor is on indicates the battery is low.

Red battery status LED: The garage door opener’s 12V battery needs to be replaced.

A solid red LED indicates the 12V battery will no longer hold a charge.

The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors both vertically and horizontally, and tightening the wing nuts. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.

If the green receiving sensor LED is blinking, the sensors are obstructed or misaligned:

1. Check for obstructions in the sensor light beam.

2. Align the sensors.

3. If the receiving sensor (green LED) faces direct sunlight, switch the sensors to opposite sides of the door to assure proper operation.

1. Press and hold the Adjustment button until the UP button begins to flash and/or a beep is heard.

2. Press and hold the UP button until the door is in the desired UP position.

3. Once the door is in the desired UP position press and release the Adjustment button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice and the DOWN button will begin to flash.

4. Press and hold the DOWN button until the door is in the desired DOWN position.

5. Once the door is in the desired DOWN position press and release the Adjustment button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice. Program the Travel is now complete. If the door does not automatically open and close and the opener lights flash 5 times, then programming has timed out and the Travel Limits have not been set. Please restart the Program the Travel process.

Once both the UP and DOWN positions have been manually set, the Safety Reversing Sensors will reconnect and become operational. Then, the opener will enter a force-sensing operation by automatically moving the door open and close. The garage door opener will sound an audible and visual alert before automatically opening and closing the door. The garage door opener will beep three times, confirming that the Automatic Force Setup completed successfully. Adjustment is complete.

1. With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.

2. Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door MUST reverse when it makes contact with the board.

If the door stops but does not reverse: Repeat Program the Travel (see Adjustment Step 1) and repeat the Safety Reversal test.

1. Open the door. Place an obstruction in the path of the door.

2. Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door will not move more than an inch (2.5 cm).

The garage door opener will not close from a remote control if the LED in either safety reversing sensor is flashing (alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

Every Month:

Manually operate the door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems technician.

Check to be sure the door opens and closes fully. Adjust if necessary.

Test the safety reversal system. Adjust if necessary.

Every Year:

Oil door rollers, bearings, and hinges. The garage door opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door tracks.

If applicable, test the battery backup and consider replacing the battery to ensure the garage door opener will operate during an electrical power outage.

1. Pry open the case first in the middle, then at each side with the visor clip.

2. Replace ONLY with 3V CR2032 coin batteries.

Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.

The garage door opener can beep for several reasons:

The opener senses an obstruction while traveling.

Garage door opener has been activated through the myQ App or a feature such as Timer-to-Close.

The back-up battery is dead (signaled with a beep every 30 seconds and the red LED light turned on).

This can be caused by Excessive Force Reversals, which can occur in both opening and closing directions. It is identified by the opener beeping and flashing the worklight 5 times.

Manually open and close the garage door. Garage door may be binding or there may be an obstruction.

If the door is binding, call a trained door systems technician.

Move your router closer to the garage door opener to minimize interference from walls and other objects.

Buy a Wi-Fi range extender.

For issues with the camera, press and hold the reset button on the camera for 10 seconds. Then, follow the myQ app instructions to set up the camera.
