How to use the portable charger

NOTICE Please read the charging instructions in the vehicle’s manual before using the charger.

Plugin
Check the condition of the domestic outlet and the vehicle inlet before inserting the plugs. Always insert the plugs in the order described.

1. Insert the domestic plug into the domestic outlet. An automatic self-test will start and is indicated with flowing lights on Charger Status Indication.
2. Wait until the automatic self-test is finished. The bars on Charger Status Indication will be solid white.
3. Insert the vehicle plug into the vehicle inlet. An automatic self-test will start and is indicated with flowing lights on Charger Status Indication.

The vehicle will start charging.

Use plug strap
The plug strap can adjust the cap’s position. This prevents the cap from collecting water and dirt and keeps the cap clear of the vehicle during charging.

Proper connection
The plug must be fully inserted into the inlet of the vehicle. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle inlet from locking the plug in place and starting charging.

Unplug

WARNING Do not unplug the portable charger from the domestic outlet while the vehicle is charging. Complete or stop the charging before unplugging. To stop charging before the vehicle is fully charged, see the vehicle’s manual.

Always remove the plugs in the order described.

1. Remove the vehicle plug from the vehicle inlet.
2. Remove the domestic plug from the domestic outlet.
