5. Setup

1. Inspect the Charger: Before each use, visually inspect the charging cable, control box, and connectors for any signs of damage, wear, or foreign objects. Do not use if damaged.
2. Select a Power Outlet: Connect the Schuko plug to a standard, properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet can support the charger's maximum current (16A).
3. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your electric vehicle is turned off and the charging port is accessible and clean.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to charge your electric vehicle:

1. Adjust Current (if needed): Before plugging the GBT connector into your vehicle, use the control box buttons to select the desired charging current (8A, 10A, 13A, or 16A). The device cannot adjust the current during charging.
2. Set Delay Time (optional): If you wish to delay the start of charging, press the "Set Time" button on the control box and adjust the delay from 1 to 15 hours. This can help manage charging costs during off-peak hours.
3. Connect to Vehicle: Firmly insert the GBT connector into your vehicle's charging port. Ensure it clicks into place.
4. Monitor Charging: The 1.8-inch LCD display on the control box will show the real-time charging status, including current, voltage, power, temperature, and charging time.
5. Charging Completion: Once charging is complete, or if you need to stop charging, first disconnect the GBT connector from your vehicle, then unplug the Schuko plug from the wall outlet.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the charger's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the connectors are free of dust and moisture.
• Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable neatly to prevent kinks or damage.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the cable and connectors for any signs of damage or wear.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following:

• Charger Not Activating: Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet and the GBT connector is securely connected to the vehicle. Check for power at the outlet.
• Error Indicators: The indicator lights on the control box will help identify potential errors. Refer to the display for specific error codes or messages. Common issues include over-temperature, voltage fluctuations, or ground faults.
• Charging Interrupted: This could be due to an internal safety mechanism (e.g., overheating, over-current) or an issue with the vehicle's charging system. Disconnect, wait a few minutes, and try again. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician.
• Current Adjustment Not Working: Remember that current can only be adjusted before the GBT connector is plugged into the vehicle.
