2.1. Important Notes Before Charging

1. It is recommended that electrical outlets for your charger should be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician. Installation must comply with local codes.
2. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to help reduce the risk of electric shock.
3. Ensure the power plug and socket are compatible before initiating the charging process.
4. Do not charge if the socket is damaged, rusty, cracked, or has a loose connection. In case the socket is dirty or wet, please disconnect the power supply first. Wipe the charging plug with a dry and clean cloth to ensure it is dry and free from any debris.
5. Verify that the charging connector, cable, control box, and plug surface are in good condition without any scratches, rust, breaks, or damages.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your charger, refer to the table below for common problems and their solutions. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the control box and cables with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the charging cable, connectors, and control box for any signs of wear, damage, cracks, or corrosion. If any damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
• Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cable is neatly coiled and not kinked.
• Cable Care: Avoid driving over the cable or placing heavy objects on it. Do not pull the cable forcefully to disconnect it from the vehicle or power outlet.

10. User Tips

• Current Adjustment for Unstable Mains: If you are charging in an area with unstable mains voltage, consider setting the charger to a lower amperage (e.g., 10A) to ensure quiet operation and prevent strain on your electrical wiring, even if it results in slower charging.
• kWh Display Reset: Be aware that the kilowatt-hour (kWh) meter on the device resets to 0 immediately after a charging session is complete. If you need to track energy consumption per session, you may need to monitor the display during charging or use an external meter.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Always verify that the charger's connector type (e.g., Type 2, Type 1, GBT, TS-NACS) is compatible with your specific electric vehicle model before purchase and use.
