3.2 Connecting to Power

Before connecting, ensure your Schuko outlet is rated for at least 16A and has proper grounding. Incorrect amperage or lack of grounding can pose safety risks.

1. Insert the Schuko plug into a compatible wall outlet.
2. The charger's LED display will illuminate, indicating it is in standby mode.
3. The charger performs an automatic ground connection check. A red indicator light will illuminate if a ground fault is detected (Error E40), indicating a potential safety hazard. Do not proceed with charging if this error occurs.

Important: Always verify the maximum amperage of your Schuko outlet before charging. Incorrect configurations can cause overheating or pose a safety risk.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Adjusting Charging Current

The charger allows you to select from various current settings (6A/8A/10A/13A/16A) to match your vehicle's requirements and available power supply.

1. New Interface: Press and hold the start button for 3-7 seconds until the light strip changes to a blinking green (P1, new interface), then release.
2. Adjust Current: Briefly press the start button again to cycle through the desired current values. The number will blink.
3. Wait for the number to stop blinking (approx. 7 seconds) to confirm the setting. The charger will automatically save the last configuration.

4.2 Setting a Delay Timer

You can set a delay timer (1H/2H/4H/8H) to start charging at a later time, which is useful for taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates.

1. New Interface: Press and hold the start button for 3-7 seconds until the light strip changes to a blinking green (P1, new interface), then release.
2. Adjust Current: Briefly press the start button again to cycle through the desired current values.
3. Adjust Delay Time: Press and hold the start button again for 3-5 seconds. The light strip will blink cyan, and the delay time number will blink. Briefly press the start button to cycle through the desired delay times.
4. Wait for the number to stop blinking (approx. 7 seconds) to confirm the setting. The charger will automatically save the last configuration.
5. Connect the charging connector to your vehicle. The countdown for the programmed delay will begin.
6. Once the countdown is complete, the portable EV charger will begin supplying power to the vehicle. The light strip will turn blue and blink.

5. Safety Features

5.1 Smart Temperature Control

The charger is equipped with intelligent NTC temperature sensors in both the Schuko plug and the control box. This ensures safe charging by automatically adjusting power if overheating is detected.

• If the temperature exceeds 65°C, the charging current is automatically reduced to 6A.
• If the temperature rises above 70°C, charging is automatically stopped to prevent overheating and ensure vehicle safety.
