other device. Make sure people and objects are out
of the way of the garage door or other device to
prevent potential harm or damage.
 Do not use this HomeLink
 Universal Transceiver
with any garage door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety
standards. (This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect an object (signaling
the door to stop and reverse), does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases risk of
serious injury or death.
