the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. Ifthe door
senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop. When the door is in
any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will close. If
the garage door opener senses an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse.Ifthe
obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door opener lights will blink 10 times.If the

®
Smartphone Control app.
However, you can close the door by holding the button on the door control or the ENTER
button on the keyless entryuntil the door is fully closed.
l The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power
is restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lightswill turn
offautomatically after 4-1/2 minutes. The lightswill turn on when someone enters through the
open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is obstructed, see page 35.
Use an incandescent A19 light bulb (100W maximum) or for maximum energy efficiency a
26W (100W equivalent) compactfluorescent light (CFL) bulb. NOTE: Do not use halogen,
short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these may overheat the end panel or light socket. Do not
use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of your remote controls.
To Open the Door Manually
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom a falling garage door:

rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
l NEVER use emergency release handle unlessgarage doorway is clear ofpersons and
obstructions.
l NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed.Ifrope knot becomesuntied, you could fall.
DISCONNECT THE TROLLEY
1. The door should be fully closed if possible.
2. Pull down on the emergencyrelease handle so the trolley release arm snaps to the vertical
position. The door can now be raised and lowered as often as necessary.
TO RE-CONNECT THE TROLLEY

Chamberlain B970 Questions and Answers

  • Total questions: 2
  • Questions unAnswered : 2

#1 I have an existing rail for my chain drive. Do I need to replace it with a belt drive?

Hi there. yes, you would need to install the rails that come with this opener. They are standard 7ft rails, so if your garage door is taller than 7ft, you would need to additionally purchase either our 8ft or 10ft rail extension kit. Let us know if you have any other questions.

#2 What's the temperature range on the safety sensors? Will it handle extreme heat (120 F), or cold (30 F)?

Derek H., our sensors will handle these temps. Here are the specific ranges:
-- AC Models: Celsius -40°C - +65°C; Fahrenheit -40°F - +149°F
-- DC Models: Celsius -35°C - +65°C; Fahrenheit -31°F - +149°F
