  If your Automatic Technology Garage Door Opener reverses unexpectedly, it could be due to environmental factors like wind, dust, or extreme temperature changes. Ensure the door runs smoothly before increasing the force pressure. Also, if safety beams are installed, they might be partially obstructed. Check the beam path to ensure it is not obstructed and verify the alignment.

  Variations in the transmitter range of your Automatic Technology Garage Door Opener are normal, depending on conditions such as temperature or external interference. Make sure you can see the door when you use the transmitter. Check the battery status by pressing a button; flashing or no light requires the battery to be changed. Also, consider the position of the transmitter in the motor vehicle; aim the transmitter through the windscreen.
