Make sure that your home has proper earthing.
If the voltage between Neutral-Earth terminals
of any socket in your home is less than 25V, the
earthing qualifies to be healthy.
Installation pre-checks
Ensure that the electric source is close by.
The Ather Dot™ comes with 1 meter of input
cable. The open terminals of the input cable
must be connected to the circuit breaker that is
next to the utility energy meter of your home, as
explained in the “How to install?” section (pg. 11).
Note: Do assess beforehand, just in case you need
a longer wire, as we do not recommend using
extension cords.
You can also use a 6A socket, by connecting the
3 pin plug to the open terminals of the input
cable, incase you do not have access to the
energy meter of your home.
Note: Get your local electrician to check the voltage
or DIY using the multimeter in case you want to
check the health of the socket’s earth connection.

How to install?
Steps to set-up the Ather Dot™
Use the stencil to precisely mark all the 4
screws’ position on the wall. The arrow mark
on stencil should be pointing upwards for an
accurate marking.
Recommended height: 1.5 m from the ground.
Step 1
Note - In case of uneven surface or obstacles at the
recommended height, you can mount the
Ather Dot™ at your convenient height. Just that, it
should not be too low for it to get affected by water
clogging or splashing.

install the wall inserts in the drilled holes.
Step 3
Unscrew the 3 bolts present on the
face of the home charger.
Step 4
Pick the body of the charger, align the holes
on the outer area of the charger to the
marking on the wall.
Step 6

Step 8
Take the face of the Ather Dot™, connect the
wire that’s hanging from its face to the wire
that’s hanging loose from its body.
Adjust the face to fit the body perfectly and bolt
in the 3 screws.

to your meter. Read through to understand
what suits you better.
Direct connection (the preferred one)
Via 6A socket
Direct connection
Caution: Before attempting the instructions
given below, make sure that the electrical
mains switch is turned OFF to avoid any
accidental electric shocks. Use a multimeter to
make sure you have no voltage between line
and neutral terminals.

Step 1
Connect the three open terminals of the
Ather Dot™ to the energy meter of your home.
Make sure that the brown wire is connected
to the Live terminal, blue wire is connected to
the Neutral terminal and yellow-green wire is
connected to the Earth terminal of the
energy meter.

Step 2
Use the C-clamps to fix the Portable Residual
Current Device (PRCD) intact over the
wall surface.
Step 3
Switch ON the mains power.
Via 6A socket
Step 1
Connect the 3 pin plug to the 3 open terminals
of Ather Dot™.
Step 2
Use the C-clamps to hold the PRCD intact over
the wall surface.
Step 3
Plug the charger into the socket using the
connected 3 pin plug and power it ON. An
earthed 3 pin 6A socket is a must for smooth
and safe charging at all times.
Note: In case you would like to install Ather
Dot™ in a shared parking space in apartment
complexes etc., it is advised to install a utility
energy meter and connect the Ather Dot™
through the meter. This will help you to bill the
power consumed by Ather Dot™ and pay back
your apartment society. Alternatively, you could
connect the socket directly to your dedicated
utility meter.
Ideal state of the charger
Solid Green LED- It signifies that the charger is
healthy and is available for charging.

How to take
care of the
Ather Dot ?
A few monthly checks, keeping in
mind the cleaning tips and following
the dos and don’ts will keep the
Ather Dot™ well maintained. Here’s
all you need to do.
™
The PRCD
Why is PRCD important?
Portable Residual Current Device (PRCD)
protects you from any electrical shocks in the
event of charger malfunction, just in case of any
manufacturing defects. It has 2 switches -
Reset button and Test button.
Reset Button: Just in case the home charging
point trips, simply press this button. If it trips
repeatedly, please contact customer support.
Test Button: This is used to test the PRCD. If the
home charging point turns OFF when you press
the Test Button, it means your PRCD is working
just fine.
Note: Do not keep the Reset Button in pressed
condition. It poses a safety risk in the event of
actual electrical hazard on the Ather Dot™.

Monthly checks
Test PRCD using its Test Button at least once a
month. Press the Test Button to check if PRCD
cuts-o power from the Ather Dot™. In case
power doesn’t cut o, please contact customer
support.
Note: Press the Reset Button to restore Ather Dot™,
right after you have checked the PRCD Test Button.
Ensure that the charging cable is always well
secured, so that it’s never stepped on, driven
over, tripped on, or undergoes any damage
or stress.
Always turn o the Ather Dot™ when not plugged
into the vehicle.
Make sure the Ather Dot™’s air flow is never
blocked to ensure its proper functioning.
The Dos & Don’ts
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any part or
component of the Ather Dot™.
The facade of the Ather Dot™, charging cable,
and the connector end of the charging cable
should be regularly wiped with a clean, dry cloth
to prevent accumulation of dirt and dust.
Cleaning
Warning!
Unplug the power cord before cleaning the
Ather Dot™.
Do not use any chemicals to clean the
Ather Dot™. Never spray any liquid onto the
charger handle or wall plug.
Store the charger handle in the dock to
