Using The Wall-Mounted Door Control; To Open The Door Manually - Craftsman 139.18489DS Owner's Manual

Using the Wall-Mounted Door Control

THE MOTION DETECTING CONTROL CONSOLE
Press the lighted push button to open or
close the door. Press again to reverse the
door during the closing cycle or to stop the
door while it's opening.
This door control contains a motion detector
that will automatically turn on the light when
it detects a person entering the garage. This
feature can be easily turned off for extended
work light use.
Light feature
Press the Light button to turn the opener light on or off. It will not
control the opener lights when the door is in motion. If you turn
it on and then activate the opener, the light will remain on for
4-1/2 minutes. Press again to turn it off sooner. The 4-1/2 minute
interval can be changed to 1-1/2, 2-1/2, or 3-1/2 minutes as
follows: Press and hold the Lock button until the light blinks
(about 10 seconds). A single blink indicates that the timer is reset
to 1-1/2 minutes. Repeat the procedure and the light will blink
twice, resetting the timer to 2-1/2 minutes. Repeat again for a
3-1/2 minute interval, etc., up to a maximum of four blinks and
4-1/2 minutes.
Automatic light feature: The opener light will turn on
automatically when a person enters the garage. When a person
walks in front of the door control, the light will come on for five
minutes, then shut off. This feature works by detecting body heat
and may not work in temperatures around 100˚ F (37.7˚ C).
To disable this feature, slide the detector switch on the right side
of the door control down (off).
We recommend that you disable the motion sensor when using
the opener lights as working lights. Otherwise, they will turn off
automatically if you are working beyond the sensors range.
Lock feature
Designed to prevent operation of the door from hand-held remote
controls. However, the door will open and close from the door
control and the Keyless Entry Accessories.
To activate, press and hold the Lock button for 2 seconds.
The push button light will flash as long as the Lock feature is on.
To turn off, press and hold the Lock button again for 2 seconds.
The push button light will stop flashing. The Lock feature will also
turn off whenever the "learn" button on the motor unit panel is

To Open the Door Manually

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley
ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs
or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling
rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway
is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.
DISCONNECT THE TROLLEY:
The door should be fully closed
if possible. Pull down on the
emergency release handle
(so that the trolley release arm snaps
into a vertical position) and lift the
door manually. The lockout feature
prevents the trolley from
reconnecting automatically, and the
door can be raised and lowered
manually as often as necessary.
TO RE-CONNECT THE TROLLEY:
Pull the emergency release handle
toward the opener at an angle so
that the trolley release arm is
horizontal. The trolley will reconnect
on the next UP or DOWN operation,
either manually or by using the door
control or remote.
