1.0 Introduction
Welcome to your new EV charge point, the EO Mini Pro 3. This guide will cover the registration process for the EO Mini Pro 3 using the “EO Charging” smartphone app.
The Homeowner will need to have the EO Charging app downloaded to their mobile device. The "EO Charging” app is available for both Android and iOS devices. If the app is yet to be downloaded, you can do so by heading to the EO website here: https://www.eocharging.com/download-app.
When setting up the charger for Wi-Fi make sure to have the home router username and password available.
Please note: The homeowner should position themselves next to the charger for carrying out the initial registration steps.

Allow 10 minutes after charger power-up before you begin the registration process.
- Download and launch the EO Charging app on either your iOS or Android mobile device.
- Create a unique account by entering a valid email address and creating a password. Do not use an account already registered with another EO device.
