ABOUT YOUR COMPACTOR SENSOR TRASH CAN:
The Compactor Sensor Trash Can™is the world’s first sensor-operated trash can that has a compacting feature designed
to help you save money, time, and the environment. This extremely convenient feature results in fewer trash bag
changes and reduced consumption of trash bags. There is a Compactor Tool that is foldable and concealable within the
lid compartment that allows you to manually compress trash up to 40% of can capacity. Compacting your trash not only
saves you money, but also reduces the negative impact your trash has on the environment.
The touchless sensor operation promotes a germ-free environment. The Activated Carbon deodorizer neutralizes
odors. 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 (Sensor Zone as
shown on PICTURE 1) 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the object is withdrawn.
Indicator Light (LED Light)
(1) In stand-by mode, the indicator light flashes red once every 3 seconds.
(2) When the lid is opened using the “Open” button, the indicator light flashes green once every 3 seconds.
(3) When the batteries are nearly depleted, the indicator light flashes yellow/amber once every 3 seconds.
ATTENTION:
1. Do not submerge the lid in water as it houses the electronic control. You may clean it with a lightly dampened
cloth.
2. Clean the trash can body only with products safe for use on stainless steel.
3. Do not press or force the Lid Cover to close. Lid will close automatically after your hand is removed from the
sensor zone.
4. Do not use excessive force on the Compacting Tool to compact contents. If contents are compacted to tightly,
the trash bag may be too heavy to remove.
5. Replace batteries immediately when the indication light turns to yellow/amber. This will ensure the lid continues
to operate properly.
6. To ensure the maximum performance of this trash can, it is highly recommended to replace both the Compactor
Plate Cover and the Activated Carbon Deodorizer at least once every 3 months.
7. Avoid direct sunlight on the infrared sensor.
8. Ensure there is enough room to operate the trash can without blocking the opening and closing of the lid.
9. Do not use a power adaptor that is not authorized by halo; it may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
10. Do not use power adaptor and battery at the same time to operate the trash can. It can only be powered by one
source at a time.
11. Do not overstuff trash bag. It may cause tearing or difficulty removing.
12. Automatic parts may not be suitable for small children or pets.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem
Solution
1. The trash can is brand new,
and only works occasionally
Peel off the thin, transparent protector/sticker on top of the sensor eye. If
the lid still doesn’t work regularly, try a new set of batteries. Then follow
the General Troubleshooting Steps below.
2. The lid stays open or lid
opens and closes
continuously
The sensor eye may be affected by dirt, stain, dust, moisture or reflection.
Move the trash can to a different location or turn the trash can slightly so
that the sensor faces another direction, and follow the General
Troubleshooting Steps.
3. Grinding noise when the lid
opens/closes
This can be caused by broken gears or lid hinge.
Check for damage on the hinges that connect to the lid
Follow the General Troubleshooting Steps below
Visit www.haloquality.com to order a new lid unit
Contact us at www.haloquality.com for warranty service
4. The lid does not open/close
Important: Do not use
batteries and the AC power
adaptor at the same time. It
can only be powered by one
source at a time.
If you are using batteries:
Ensure batteries are inserted correctly and close the battery cover
firmly
Turn power switch to “ON" position to see if the indication light is
visible
If you are using AC Power Adaptor:
Unplug the adaptor and insert new alkaline batteries to see if the lid
works on battery
If the lid works with batteries, the AC adaptor may be broken
5. I wave my hand over the
sensor eye, but the lid does
not open
It is not a motion sensor. Hold your hand or object steadily (do not wave
your hand) within 4-6 inches over sensor eye for it to detect and open.
6. The lid seems to lose
tension
The gear might lose tension over time. To fix the issue, locate the 2
screws inside the two holes in the battery compartment by removing the
batteries, if any. Turn both screws clockwise to tighten the tension. The
more you turn clockwise, the tighter the tension is.
7. Why is the indicator light
flashing in yellow/amber
color?
The battery power is low. Replace all batteries with a new set of alkaline
batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries or old batteries.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:
(1) Turn power switch to “Off,”remove batteries or AC power adaptor, then rub and wipe clean the sensor area with a soft
damp cloth and dry it immediately with a soft dry cloth. Re-insert batteries or plug in AC adaptor (DO NOT USE batteries
and AC adaptor at the same time).
(2) Place trash can in an open area where nothing is blocking or within 10 inches of the sensor eye. Make sure no sunlight or
direct light shines on the sensor. Turn on the power and try opening lid again.
(3) If trash can is still not working correctly, remove the batteries or AC adaptor. Let trash can sit for at least 2 hours to reset.
Try opening lid after reset.
