3. Connect the Power Cord: Locate the power cord on the Genie garage door opener and plug it into a nearby electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet is properly grounded and can handle the power requirements of the opener.

4. Install Safety Sensors: Position the safety sensors on each side of the garage door opening, approximately 6 inches above the floor. Use screws to secure the sensors to the wall or frame, ensuring that they are aligned with each other and facing each other directly.

5. Wire the Safety Sensors: Connect the safety sensor wires to the terminals on the Genie garage door opener. Typically, one wire from each sensor will connect to the “Sensors” terminal on the opener, while the other wires will connect to the corresponding terminals on the opposite sensor.
