How do I charge?

Read the Important product information guide in the product packaging or ateasee.com/manuals before using the product.

Installation and operation of the product requires a mobile device with internet connection.

Make sure that the following requirements are met before using the Charging Robot:

— The charger is properly configured.
— The software is up to date (see the Charging robot interface ).
— If you have set up access control, unlock it by using a registered RFID tag (see the Features ) or disable it from the Easee App or the local interface.

1. Check the charging cable and connector for damage and impurities such as foreign objects and water ingress before charging.

2. Connect the charging cable to the Charging Robot and your electric car. The charging process starts and adapts automatically to the electric car and the available energy at any time according to the configuration.

If the car does not start charging, check that charging is activated in your car and that the connectors are properly plugged in. If charging still does not start, check what might be the cause on the Charging Robot interface section.

When Smart charging is active the LED strip is lit blue, charging will not start until the operators criteria for charging is met. Contact you operator to know more and to find out if they offer this service.
