Information on Use

1. When using 16A charging mode, use an outlet with a current rating of no less than 16A. If you are using a regular 10A socket, adjust the amperage mode to no more than 10A. If the charger is damaged due to the current mode not being adjusted correctly to the power socket, the warranty may be void.
2. Do not place flammable materials, explosives, chemicals, or other hazardous substances near the appliance.
3. Keep the charging connector clean. If it is dirty, wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not touch the metal pins in the connector with your hand. Make sure the charger is not connected to the power supply or the device before cleaning.
4. Do not use the charger if the cable is damaged, cracked, worn, or has an exposed core. If you notice any of these abnormalities, contact your dealer.
5. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or upgrade the charger yourself. Improper handling may result in damage to the equipment, loss of leakage, or current leakage.
6. In the event of any abnormality during use, immediately cut off the power supply.
7. Use the charger under a canopy during precipitation. Protect from rain and snow.
8. Children must not use or come close to the device while it is charging due to the possible risk of injury.
9. It is strictly forbidden to remove the charging plug from the socket without authorization during the charging process, due to the risk to vehicle or user safety.
10. Vehicles must not move while charging. Charging may only be carried out when the vehicle is stationary. This applies to all vehicle types.

Charging Tips

1. Ensure that the electrical installation has a type B residual current circuit breaker.
2. Plug the charger into a 230V socket.
3. (Optional) Set the charging delay by pressing the button with the clock icon [Clock Icon].
4. Set the desired amperage using the "A" button [A Button].
5. Connect the charging cable to the vehicle.
6. Monitor progress on the LCD display.
7. When finished, disconnect the device first from the vehicle, then from the socket.

How to Start Charging?

1. Firmly insert the plug into the mains socket.
   (Ensure that the power socket complies with the national standard and that the current rating is 16A.)
2. Press the [A] button to switch the charging current mode, press the [Clock] button to schedule the charging time delay.
3. Pull the cap lightly and insert the charging plug fully into the vehicle socket. Make sure the charging plug is fully inserted until you hear a click.
4. The device will start charging.

Current Setting

Press the [A] button to switch current mode.

• The mode can be activated by pressing the [A] button when the charger is switched on and no car is connected to it.
• The 16A unit supports four current modes: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A.
• The 32A device supports four current modes: 16A, 20A, 24A, and 32A.

Setting the Charging Delay

1. Press [Clock] to set the time.
2. The charging delay time increases by 1 hour when the [Clock] button is pressed once. The maximum delay is 8 hours.

How Do I Stop Charging?

1. Press the button and disconnect the charging plug.
