PLEASE NOTE:
Some areas may be prone to excessive radio interference brought on by devices such as cordless telephones, 
wireless stereo headphones and baby monitors. It is possible that these devices could cause a degree of 
interference such as to greatly reduce the range of the transmitter. In such an instance please contact your 
Automatic Technology dealer for an alternative frequency replacement kit. As this is not a warrantable situation 
but an environmental issue. Charges may apply for the changeover.
Intermittent operations may occur in areas which experience very strong winds. The strong wind puts 
extra pressure on the door and tracks which may in turn trigger the safety obstruction detection system 
intermittently.
