Plug In:
- Pick up the plug, uncoil the cable, and remove the plug cap.
- Make sure that the charger is ready to be used. The Charger Ready icon [✅] should be visible on the display.
- Insert the plug into the vehicle inlet. The following symbol [⚡] should now be visible on the display to indicate that charging is initialized. If authorization is enabled, that process has to finish before charging can begin. See the chapter Authorization for more information.
- Make sure that charging has started. The following symbol [?] should now be visible on the display.
NOTICE: The plug must be fully inserted into the inlet of the vehicle. Failure to connect will prevent the vehicle inlet from locking the plug in place and start charging.
Troubleshooting, Store and Protect, Maintenance and Care
Troubleshooting:
The following symbols indicate that there has been an issue. In order to fix the issue, scan the QR-code on the screen and follow the instructions on the web page, or contact support.
- Error: Contact electrician
- Error: Contact CPO
- Authorization: No access
Store and Protect:
Coil the cable:
Roll the cable around the charging unit. Make sure that the plug hangs with the plug cap facing the ground. Attach the clip to the cable.
Use the plug cap:
The plug strap can adjust the cap's position. This prevents the cap from collecting water and dirt, and keeps the cap clear of the vehicle.
Maintenance and Care:
WARNING: Do not flush water on the charging station. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning.
Checking:
- Keep the plug dry and check regularly for dust, dirt, pebbles, etc.
- Check the cable regularly for cracks and other damage.
Cleaning:
- Use a damp cloth to clean. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.
