position. Un-plug the garage door opener before continuing.
The Garage Door Controller can be screw mounted directly, or by using the supplied 
adjustable mounting bracket.
1. Use the four anchors and screws to directly mount the Controller (use a 3/16” drill for 
the screw anchors, if the anchors are used).
- OR -
1. Snap the adjustable mounting bracket onto the Controller and secure it with the short

Operation Notes
Indications and Operation Notes
  ◆The warning light will  ash and the warning beeper will sound for  ve 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.
  ◆If the GD00Z-2 is in lock-out mode and will not accept remote commands, activate the door 
from the pushbutton wall console.
  ◆Once the Controller has initiated the movement of the garage door, another command cannot 
be sent for 30 seconds. This eliminates the chance of “bouncing” the garage door and 
possibly damaging the garage door opener.
