  4. Verify Connection: Confirm that both ends of the cable are securely connected. The charging station and/or vehicle should indicate a successful connection.

Important: Always connect to the charging station first, then to the vehicle. When disconnecting, always disconnect from the vehicle first, then from the charging station.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the cable is securely connected, the charging process can begin.
