Safety Precautions
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 electrical current.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER - 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-head terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding wire 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 in 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
reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a
three blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle outlet that will accept the plug on
the product.
Replace or repair a damaged cord.
Save these instructions.

Operational Precautions

For prevention of malfunctions
■
Do not block the body sensor or the remote control
●
transmitter or receiver.
<About the Body Sensors>
Two types of body sensor are used.
Body sensor A detects changes in heat.
●
● • Detection may be difficult when the room
temperature exceeds 30°C, such as in the
summertime.
● • When sunlight is directly on the sensor area or a
heater is used in the bathroom, the sensor may
detect incorrectly due to the heat, resulting in the
automatic operation of functions such as auto lid
opening and closing.
● •
When the bathroom door is open, the sensor may
detect people who pass to the front or side of the
toilet.
Body sensor B detects when someone stands in
●
front of the bowl unit.
● • Body sensor B emits an infrared beam as shown
in the figure. When someone moves into the line of
this infrared beam, the sensor detects the person.
Detection by the sensor may be difficult when the
*
toilet is used by someone small, such as a child.
