How to use the portable charger

Plug in

Check the condition of the domestic outlet and the vehicle inlet before inserting the plugs. Always insert the plugs in the order described:

1. Insert the domestic plug into the domestic outlet. An automatic self-test will start, indicated by flowing lights on the Charger Status Indication.
2. Wait until the automatic self-test is finished. The bars on the Charger Status Indication will be solid white.
3. Insert the vehicle plug into the vehicle inlet. An automatic self-test will start, indicated by flowing lights on the Charger Status Indication.

The vehicle will then start charging.

Sequential diagrams illustrating the steps: 1. Plugging into domestic outlet. 2. Waiting for self-test. 3. Plugging into vehicle inlet.

Use plug strap

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 during charging.

Diagram showing how the plug strap can be adjusted to keep the cap clear of the vehicle inlet.

Proper connection

The plug must be fully inserted into the inlet of the vehicle. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle inlet from locking the plug in place and starting charging.

Unplug

Always remove the plugs in the order described:

1. Remove the vehicle plug from the vehicle inlet.
2. Remove the domestic plug from the domestic outlet.

Sequential diagrams illustrating the steps: 1. Unplugging from vehicle inlet. 2. Unplugging from domestic outlet.

Set the Required Charging Power

1. Press the Mode Button to toggle between Normal mode, Low mode, and High mode. The modes will appear in the following order: Normal (default starting mode) → Low → High → Normal.
2. When setting the device to Low mode or High mode, the Mode Button will be lit for 5 seconds and then fade. The amount of bars on the Charger Status Indication shows which mode is currently active.
3. The Charger Status Indication will blink for 2 seconds until the change is effective, then stay lit.

• Low mode: If Low mode is set, the charging level will be lower than normal. This may be required if the fuse for the domestic outlet is lower than the product's rating, or if the domestic outlet's electrical circuit is shared with other electrical products.
• High mode: If High mode is set, the charging level will be higher than normal. The level will automatically switch back to Normal mode after 120 minutes during one session (if High mode is turned off for a while and then turned back on again, the 120 minutes are accumulated during the whole session). If the control box or domestic plug becomes too hot during High mode, the current level will automatically reduce until a lower temperature is detected.

Charging Power Settings:

• Normal mode: 8 A
• High mode: 10 A
• Low mode: factory set 6 A

Adjust Low Mode Manually

Tip! Adjusting is possible to do while inside a house, with the manual easily available.

Diagram showing two battery-like symbols, one with '6A' and another with '7A', indicating different low mode current settings. Below them, a legend shows 'No light' and 'White light' for the display.

1. Connect the charger to a domestic outlet. Wait until the start-up sequence is finished.
2. Press and hold the Mode Button for about three seconds, until the Charger Status Indication symbol blinks white.
3. Press the Mode Button within five seconds to start setting the level. It is possible to set the Low mode from the lowest level (6A) and up to one level below the normal level. The level will start at the earlier stored level and then move upward in 1A steps every time the button is pressed. After reaching the highest level to choose, the unit will return to the lowest level. The light on the display will indicate which level is currently chosen.
4. When the desired level is reached, wait 5 seconds. The new level is now stored.
5. The next time Low mode is used, this will be the pre-chosen level.
