Indications and Operation Notes

The warning light will flash and the warning beeper will sound for five seconds before the door opener is activated. STAY CLEAR OF THE DOOR, AND DOOR OPENER. THEY ARE ABOUT TO MOVE!
If the door does not completely open or close after remote activation, the Controller will allow user to try to operate the door one more time. If the second attempt fails, the Controller will go into lock-out mode. See next paragraph.
