The OLED screen is only activated when you wave your hand in front of the display to prevent burn-in.
Opening the lid while the sensor is still green will give the option to skip the next feeding reminder. Confirm skipping the next feeding by waving your hand in front of the screen or allow it to time out and the next reminder will go off as scheduled.
The IR LEDs on most of the sensors are pointed along the plane of the PCB. Remove the LEDs (paying attention to polarity as it's not normally marked on the PCB) and reinstall them on the back perpendicular to the PCB. The sensitivity dial should be on the opposite side of the LEDs now.
