Attention

Do not submerge the lid in water as it houses the electronic control. You may clean it with a lightly dampened cloth.
Clean the trash can body only with products safe for use on stainless steel.
Do not press or force the Lid Cover to close. Lid will close automatically after your hand is removed from the sensor zone.
Replace batteries immediately when the indication light turns yellow/amber. This will ensure the lid continues to operate properly.
Avoid direct sunlight on the infrared sensor.
Ensure there is enough room to operate the trash can without blocking the opening and closing of the lid.
Do not use a power adapter that is not authorized by SensorCan; it may result in fire,
electric shock or injury.
Do not use power adapter and battery at the same time to operate the trash can. It can only be powered by one source at a time.
Do not overstuff trash bag. It may cause tearing or difficulty removing.
Automatic parts may not be suitable for small children or pets.

About your SensorCan” Trash Can

The touchless sensor operation promotes a germ-free environment. The lid sensor uses Invisible and harmless, patented infrared technology for accurate and responsive lid open and close operation. There are two buttons on the front of the lid, “OPEN” and “CLOSE”, to open and close the lid manually, and an ON/OFF power switch on the back of the trash can lid. The infrared sensor on the lid will automatically open the lid when your hand or object is within 6 inches/10 cm of the sensor. The lid will remain open if the sensor detects any object within its radius and will automatically close in 4 seconds after the object is withdrawn.

VisioSense™ Indicator Light (LED Light)

When there is an object in the Sensor Zone, the LED indicator Light will remain green and the Lid will remain open until object is removed from the sensor zone.
Once item is removed from the Sensor Zone, the LED Indicator Light will flash red to indicate that the lid will close in 6 seconds.
If an object is placed back into the Sensor Zone when the LED Indicator Light is flashing red, the light will turn solid green again and the Lid will remain open.

Operating Instructions

Remove Lid Unit from the trash can. Open battery compartment cover to insert 4 “D” size batteries. Replace cover.
Insert one 13 gallon to 18 gallon trash bag through Trash Bag Retainer Ring and wrap the top part of the bag over the Ring (STEP 1 in How To Use The Trash Bag Retainer Ring). Put the Ring onto the top edge of the can body (STEP 2).
Place Lid Unit onto the can body and make sure it is securely attached.
Turn on the power switch on the back of Lid Unit. A red Indicator Light will turn on for 3 seconds. It will flash once every 3 seconds to indicate the system is on and ready to use.
Place hand or any object 6 inches above Infrared Sensor on the front of Lid Unit to open. When there is an object in the Sensor Zone, the LED indicator Light will remain green and the Lid will remain open until object is removed from the Sensor Zone. Once item is removed from the Sensor Zone, the LED Indicator Light will flash red to indicate that the lid will close in 6 seconds. If an object is placed back into the Sensor Zone when the LED Indicator Light is flashing red, the light will turn solid green again and the Lid will remain open.
If you press the open button, Lid will open, and remain open for 5 minutes before closing automatically unless you press the close button. The trash can will then resume operating in automatic mode.
