To manually open a garage door when the power is out, pull the emergency release cord to disengage the opener. Once disengaged, you can lift the door manually. Be cautious, as the door may be heavy without the opener's assistance.

In case of a power outage, the emergency release cord is the key to operating your garage door manually. It disconnects the door from the automatic opener, allowing you to lift it by hand. Make sure the door is properly balanced, or it may be difficult to lift. After power is restored, reconnect the opener by pressing the “Learn” button or following the manufacturer's instructions to re-engage the system.
