Route all necessary wiring for the safety beams, wall button, and ceiling light. The presenter demonstrates routing the wires as neatly as possible, running them through the back side of the garage door opener unit to keep the installation clean. For the wall-mount button, connect the supplied wire to the corresponding lugs on the back of the button (red stripe to the 'R' terminal, plain wire to the 'W' terminal). Secure the wall button to the wall using the provided hardware. Finally, connect all the routed wires to the main garage door opener unit's terminal block, using a small flat-head screwdriver to press down on the tab for each terminal, insert the bare wire end, and release the tab to secure the connection.
