Troubleshooting

Lid does not open automatically

Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Ensure there are no obstructions around the infrared sensor and that your hand is within the optimal sensing range (typically 2-6 inches).

Lid does not close automatically

Verify that no objects are blocking the lid's path. Ensure the batteries are functional. If the issue persists, try removing and reinserting the batteries.

Sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough

Ensure the sensor area is clean. Some models may have sensitivity adjustments; consult your specific product manual. Keep the bin away from direct sunlight or heat sources that could interfere with the sensor.
