Troubleshooting

Lid does not open automatically

Ensure the 'On/Off' switch at the back of the lid is turned on. Check that batteries are correctly installed and are of a quality brand. Remove any protective film from the sensor. Wait 10 seconds after turning on for calibration.

Lid opens and closes erratically

Ensure there is no obstruction or direct sunlight hitting the sensor. Check battery levels; low batteries can cause malfunction. Try performing a factory reset by removing batteries for 24 hours.

Sensor light not flashing

Verify the 'On/Off' switch is in the 'On' position. Check battery installation and power. If the issue persists after checking batteries, consider a factory reset.

Lid is slow to open or close

This could indicate low battery power. Replace batteries with fresh, quality ones. Ensure the lid mechanism is not obstructed.
