installation and a diagnostic test is requested, the charger light will come on and stay on for one minute indicating that the battery is not fully charged
for attempted test. (The 5-sec brief lamp test is always allowed.)

 Note: The Green power indicator LED will flash slowly during the 15-min. period.
 LASER TEST (LX): To operate using a laser pen: use laser pen and point the laser beam over the remote sensor (see below), thereby duplicating
the manual button (1,2,3) pushes. The laser must impact the remote sensor for at least 0.2 seconds to be recognized.
