Safety Information
Your Genie garage door opener is equipped with important safety features. The Safe-T-Beam system uses an infrared beam across the door opening to detect obstructions, preventing the door from closing if the beam is broken. Intellicode Security technology changes the access code each time the remote is used, enhancing security against unauthorized access. Always ensure the area around the garage door is clear before operation. Refer to all warning labels on the product and in the full installation guide for complete safety instructions.
