Battery Backup
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Test the installed battery with the motor unit.
To test the battery, disconnect the motor unit power cord
from the electrical outlet.
• A solid orange LED indicates the battery is operating on
battery power.
• A fl ashing orange LED with beep indicates the unit is
operating on battery power and that the battery charge
is low.
• To test the battery is functioning properly, open and
close the garage door.
• Re-connect the motor unit power cord back into the
electrical outlet.
• Verify that the green LED is fl ashing on the BBU

• Test completed.
2. Charge the battery.
• Battery will take 24 to 48 hours to fully charge.
A fully charged battery supplies 12 Vdc to the motor
unit for one to two days of normal operation during an
electrical power outage. If the battery voltage drops too
low, the batteries will disconnect and the motor unit will no
longer operate under battery power.
After the electrical power has been restored, the battery
will recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usage
batteries will last 3 to 5 years.
To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage,
disconnect the battery when motor unit is unplugged for
an extended period of time.
NOTE: Door operation may be limited until battery is fully
charged. The motor unit's lights will not turn on during
battery mode.
To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE
performing ANY service or maintenance.
