Test the new garage door opener's operation. Go to the exterior wireless keypad, enter the programmed code, and press the open/close button. Observe the door's movement, noting its quiet operation due to the belt drive. Next, perform a critical safety test: place a child's toy (like the scooter used earlier) in the path of the closing door. The door's safety sensors (electric eyes) should detect the obstruction, causing the door to immediately reverse and return to the fully open position, confirming the system's safety functionality. This verifies that the new opener adheres to modern safety standards, preventing accidents.
