The lid will automatically close after approximately 5 seconds of inactivity. The indicator light will turn red as the lid closes.

2. Manual Operation (if applicable)

Some models may feature a manual button for opening/closing the lid or for a "long open mode." Refer to the specific buttons on your lid for these functions.

Battery Replacement

When the indicator light consistently shows red or the sensor becomes unresponsive, it's time to replace the 2 AA batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.

Troubleshooting

  • Lid not opening/closing: Ensure 2 AA batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Replace batteries if necessary.
  • Sensor unresponsive: Check for any obstructions near the sensor. Ensure the trash can is not placed too close to objects that might interfere with the sensor's operation.
  • Garbage bag slipping: Ensure the garbage bag is properly secured with the upgraded fixed ring.
  • Lid staying open: If the sensor is continuously detecting an object, the lid may remain open. Reposition the trash can or ensure no objects are hovering over the sensor.
