three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems. Units manuf actured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with saf ety stop and
reverse f eatures. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
conf irm the f unction and
perf ormance of the saf ety stop and
reverse f eature is to lay a 2 4
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manuf actured
af ter January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
Bef ore programming your
HomeLink to operate a garage door
opener, conf irm that the opener has
an external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’
or other saf ety and reverse stop
f eatures.
If your garage door was
manuf actured bef ore April 1, 1982,
you may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. These units
do not have safety features that
cause the motor to stop and reverse
it if an obstacle is detected during
closing, increasing the risk of injury.
Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks saf ety
stop and reverse f eatures.
