The hOmeLabs Touchless Trash Can uses infrared (IR) technology with an Infrared Sensor on the Lid to
sense movement. When movement is detected, such as with a hand waving within 6 inches of the IR
Sensor, the Lid will automatically open. When no more movement is detected, about 6 seconds after
your hand moves away, the Lid will automatically close. The Lid remains open whenever movement is
detected within 6 inches of the IR Sensor zone.
