DANGER: RISK OF SHOCK
Turn off the circuit breaker to the 240V outlet. Do not restore power to the outlet until installation is complete. Failure to follow these instructions could result in shock or electrocution.

Find a wall stud
+ Find the center of the nearest stud to the installed outlet using the stud finder
+ Mark the center of the stud with a line Tip (Plug version only): To find the station’s ideal mounting height, plug the station’s power cord into the outlet.

1. Choose station installation location (Plug version only)
   + If you haven’t already, turn off your circuit breaker
   + Plug the station in. WARNING: If the front status light turns on when the station is plugged in, your circuit is not off. STOP IMMEDIATELY. Unplug the station and turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker.
   + Place the station against the wall, line up the station’s two mounting holes with the line you marked earlier
   + Mark the two lower mounting holes
   + Unplug the station

Tip: Be sure the power cord has a gentle curve but is not stretched.

Steps 4–13 apply to both Plug and Hardwire versions.
Mount the station
+ Line up the lower mounting holes with the marks you made and tape the installation template against the wall
+ Mark the top mounting hole on the wall with the installation template
+ Remove the template
+ Drill the three mounting holes with the included drill bit.
WARNING: If you hit  metal, stop immediately and contact an electrician

Install top mounting screw
+ Use the driver bit to drive a screw into the top-most mounting hole, leaving a 1/8″ gap to hang the station on
+ Keep the remaining 2 screws for use later Hang the station
+ Hang the station on the protruding screw using the notch on the back of the station
+ Don’t plug in yet
+ Drive the remaining 2 screws into the bottom mounting holes to secure the station. Be careful not to damage the electrical wires

Remove the cable clip
Remove the cable clip from the wire end of the cord, but do not discard it.

Connect the charging cord
+ Fold the wire ends and insert them into the bottom hole of the station
+ Match the blue and green wires to the blue and green connector blocks
+ Insert the exposed wires into the corresponding holes, pushing the cables up until the silver conductors are no longer visible
+ Snap down the white clips all the way down on each wire

Tip: Keep fingers away from underneath the white clips as you snap them down.
Attach the cable clip
Push the cord up and slide the cable clip into the slot to secure the cord.

Tip: The cable clip protects the cord from damage
Lock the wire cover in place
+ Place the wire cover over the exposed wiring

WARNING FOR ChargePoint HOME PLUG PRODUCTS: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The home must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceperson if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the receptacle have a proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING FOR ChargePoint HOME HARDWIRE (PERMANENTLY CONNECTED) PRODUCTS: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product. See Installation Instructions.

COST OF COVER INCURRED BY YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR PURCHASE OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE CHARGING STATION, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF CHARGEPOINT KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE INTENDED TO LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF CHARGEPOINT AND SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
