5. Complete the Installation
IMPORTANT! Wait at least 10 seconds after the last test flush
before installing the tank lid. Hold your hand over the sensor for 1-2
seconds after installing the lid to confirm proper operation.
NOTE: If you are unable to activate the sensor immediately after
installing the tank lid, wait a minimum of 5 minutes for the sensor
to calibrate.
Install four pads, two on the front (not shown) and two on the
back, near each corner of the tank lid or tank rim where the lid
contacts the tank rim. The pads stabilize the lid to prevent false
flushes when the lid is bumped.
Install the tank lid.
Hold your hand approximately 1″(25 mm) above the module.
The toilet will flush.
Consult the troubleshooting chart for operation or performance
issues.

Avant de commencer
ATTENTION: Risque de dommages matériels: Ne pas
utiliser de piles aux ions de lithium avec ce produit.
L’exposition de piles aux ions de lithium à l’eau peut
entraîner un incendie.
AVIS: Risque de dommages matériels. Si la toilette est bouchée,
couper l’arrivée d’eau avant d’essayer de la déboucher. Le capteur
peut être activé par accident pendant que l’on débouche la toilette,
ce qui entraîne un débordement.

nettoyants de toilette dans le réservoir endommage ce produit. Les
nettoyants dans le réservoir émettent des gaz qui endommagent les
joints et corrodent les composants intérieurs. Les dommages causés
par les nettoyants dans le réservoir annulent la garantie.
