Just say, “open can” and the lid opens automatically, so throwing trash away is quick, efficient and hassle-free. You can also say, “stay open” while performing longer chores or cooking, and the lid won’t close until you say, “close can” (or it will close automatically after 10 minutes). It also has a motion sensor that opens the can with a wave of your hand and is smart enough to adapt to you and the surrounding environment — no false triggers, no unexpected lid closures. This can features our innovative liner pocket, which stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. The liner rim lifts up for easy access to the liner, then closes to grip and keep it neatly out of sight. The cans stainless steel surface is protected by an invisible silver-ion coating that resists fingerprints and germs (brushed model only). ADA-compliant. Our Code Q custom fit liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. Liner refill packs store easily in this cans liner pocket. specifications

Sensor can maybe trying to “listen” consistently in noisy areas, which drains the batteries faster than normal. We recommend using the included AC adapter.
1. Make sure there is no power to the unit – remove the batteries or unplug the AC adapters power cable from the sensor can. 2. Manually open the lid. 3. Clean any debris or trash within the hinge gap. 4. Manually close the lid until it is completely flush with the can and hold it completely closed through the next steps. 5. Place your other hand over the motion sensor for 5 seconds to completely drain the electronic memory. 6. Wait 2 minutes and re-insert batteries or plug the unit back in. 7. Please ensure that you are only using one power source. For instance, if you are using the power adapter, do not insert batteries into the unit. If using batteries, do not have the unit plugged in. 8. If these steps dont resolve the issue, repeat step 1 to 3. In addition, apply multi-use lubricants, such as WD-40 across hinge gap. After application, manually open and close the lid for 7 times. Then proceed to step 4 through step 7. 9. Watch our video on how to troubleshoot the lid.
