Important Information
NOTE: This product is designed for installation with the electrical and water supplies located through
either the wall or the floor.
Grounding Instructions
•This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
•If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
•Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
•This product is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a
proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Do not modify the plug
provided — if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If
the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the connection should
be made by qualified service personnel.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installation or servicing.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a properly-grounded, grounding-type
receptacle which is protected by a 120 V, 15 A minimum, 60 Hz Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not remove the grounding pin or use a grounding
adapter.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. For hardwire installations/through-floor electrical supply:
Connect only to a properly-grounded, dedicated circuit protected by an Class A Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).
NOTE: The electrical outlet and water supply may also be located behind the toilet. If it is located behind
the toilet, the water supply stop must extend no more than 3″(76 mm) beyond the finished wall. If located
behind the toilet, the supply stop must be a model that connects at a 90° angle. The handle should be
easily accessible.
NOTE: Locating the supply stop behind the toilet will make it difficult to remove the back panel. It may
be necessary to remove the toilet to service items behind the back panel if the supply stop extends more
than 3″(76 mm) from the wall.
Install the Dock Power Cord
If the finished wall has not been installed, route the docking station power cord if the cord will be
routed through the wall.
If the finished wall is installed, drill a 3/8″(10 mm) hole in the wall behind the toilet location for
the docking station power cord.
If the docking station cord is routed through the wall, route the power cord to the docking station
location from the toilet end. Route it through a wall plate or route the cord on the wall externally.

1. Install the Remote Dock
NOTE: The docking station comes with a 15’ (4.6 m) cord. Locate the docking station to allow the docking
cord to reach the toilet.
Unpack the box containing the remote control components.
Remove the remote control from the dock and set aside.
Remove the small screw on the bottom of the docking station.
Carefully remove the cover plate by gently prying the sides of the cover plate out until they
disconnect from the dock.
Carefully disconnect the cover plate plug.
Tape the screw to the cover plate and set it aside.
NOTE: When the docking station cord is routed externally through the wall, it may be easier to use the
back cord opening. When the cord is routed externally along the face of the wall, use the bottom cord
opening.
For installations using the back cord opening, route the power cord through the back cord opening.
For installations using the bottom cord opening, route the power cord through the bottom cord
opening.
Position the docking station in the installation position and mark the screw locations using the dock
as a template.
Drill appropriate size mounting holes at the screw mounting locations. The size of the hole will
depend on the need for wall anchors, wall material, and installation requirements.
Loosen each of the five small screws located where the wires will be connected.
Run the power cord into the docking station.
