PROGRAMMING
NOTICE: If this Security✚® garage door opener is operated with a non-rolling code transmitter, the technical measure
in the receiver of the garage door opener, which provides security against code-theft devices, will be circumvented. The
owner of the copyright in the garage door opener does not authorize the purchaser or supplier of the non-rolling code
transmitter to circumvent that technical measure.
Your garage door opener has already been programmed at the factory to operate with your hand-held remote control.
The door will open and close when you press the large push button.
Below are instructions for programming your opener to operate with additional Security✚® remote controls.
