There are three programming buttons and two lights (LEDs) on the powerhead.

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 move.

3.When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam® is interrupted by 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.

Begin here ONLY AFTER completing assembly and installation of the opener. Review the Assembly & Installation Poster to ensure all steps have been performed.

There are no assembly or installation steps included in this manual. Contact your Genie® Professional Dealer for an installation poster, if needed, or call 1-800 35-GENIE. You may also visit www.geniecompany.com to download a pdf. file.
