5. Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for a 3-hole widespread installation with 8-16 inch centers. The recommended hole size is 1.12-1.37 inches, and the maximum counter thickness is 1.88 inches.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink holes are clean and meet the specified dimensions. Turn off the water supply.
- Assemble Faucet Components: Pass the water outlet hose and power cord through the central faucet body. Connect the hot and cold hoses to their respective handles.
- Mount Faucet and Handles: Insert the faucet body and handles into the sink holes. Secure them from underneath the counter using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the hot and cold handles are correctly positioned (red for hot, blue for cold).
- Install Battery Box: Find a suitable location under the sink to mount the control box. Mark and drill pilot holes, then secure the box with screws. Ensure the 'UP' arrow on the box faces upwards.
- Connect Hoses to Control Box:
- Connect the water outlet hose from the faucet to the 'Water Out' port on the control box.
- Connect the short cold hose from the cold handle to the mixing valve on the control box.
- Connect the short hot hose from the hot handle to the mixing valve on the control box.
Note: All hose connections do not require additional white tape, as the hose itself has sufficient sealing properties.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the long cold hose from the mixing valve to your cold water angle valve. Connect the long hot hose from the mixing valve to your hot water angle valve.
- Connect Power Cord: Connect the power cord from the faucet body to the power cord interface on the control box.
- Install Batteries: Open the lid of the battery box and insert 4 AA alkaline batteries. Ensure correct polarity. Rotate the batteries several times to ensure proper contact with the springs. Close and tighten the lid.

6. Operating Instructions
Touchless Operation:
The faucet features an automatic sensor for hands-free operation. Simply wave your hand within the sensor range (approximately 3.93-4.72 inches) at the bottom of the faucet spout to initiate water flow. Water will automatically stop flowing when your hand is removed or after 0.5 seconds if no object is detected, conserving water.

Temperature Adjustment:
Use the dual handles to adjust the water temperature. The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Rotate both handles to achieve your desired warm water temperature. Note that the handles control temperature, not water flow, which is managed by the sensor.

The faucet's high-arc spout can swivel 360 degrees, providing flexibility and convenience for various tasks and sink sizes.

Battery Replacement:
The faucet is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries located in the control box. When the batteries are low, the sensor light on the faucet will remain on continuously. Replace all four batteries with new, identical brand batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Rotate the batteries slightly after insertion to ensure proper contact.
8. Troubleshooting
