Using the Level 1 - 120 Portable Charger to charge your electric vehicle is as
simple as plugging in any appliance.
1. Connect the Portable Charger to an Electrical Outlet:
The Portable Charger can be plugged into any grounded 15A or 20A,
120VAC electrical outlet. The Power LED will illuminate whenever
electricity is flowing to the Portable Charger.
Power Up Sequence
• Both the Charging and Fault LEDs will illuminate momentarily and then
turn OFF. The Portable Charger will initiate a self-test sequence.
• The Fault LED will illuminate momentarily indicating the self-test is in
progress. When the Fault LED turns off and only the Power LED is on, the
Portable Charger is ready for use.
NOTE: DO NOT let the Portable Charger hang from the AC Supply
Plug. Hanging the Portable Charger on a suitable hook is recommended
where applicable (see figure below). Ensure that the Portable Charger is
supported while in use to avoid strain on the AC Supply Plug and Cord.
NOTE FROM THE MANUFACTURER
ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY
Leviton’s Level 1 120 Portable Charger is listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) under Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).The compact physical
design of your Portable Charger takes up a minimum amount of wall space,
providing the greatest flexibility for mounting locations or portable storage.
This device incorporates multiple levels of safety for the user, the vehicle
and the charging equipment. It conforms to all industry standards and
recommended practices.
The Portable Charger requires a 15A or 20A, 120VAC circuit via three-
pronged wall outlet.
For maximum performance, it is strongly recommended that you use a
dedicated circuit for the Portable Charger. This means there should be no
other major appliances connected to the same circuit. If it is not a dedicated
circuit, the current rating of the outlet circuit breaker could be exceeded and
cause it to trip or open. For non-dedicated circuits, the Portable Charger can
be used in the default reduced level mode, but the charging time is increased.
• SAE J1772TM Compliant - Ensures compatibility with all battery electric
vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) conforming to
this standard.
• Easy to read user interface.
• Self-Testing Sequence - Upon plugging in the Portable Charger, a self-
test will occur to ensure that the unit is working properly. This sequence
will also occur each time the Charge Connector is plugged into the vehicle
charge port to ensure a proper connection; prior to initiating charging.
• Default 7 Amp Charging - Charging will always initiate at 7 amps,
minimizing risk of overloading a non-dedicated circuit.
• 12 Amp "Accelerated" Charging - User selectable increased charge
rate available when plugged into a circuit dedicated for use with one
device.
• Ground Monitoring Circuit - Constantly checking for presence of proper
safety ground.
• Contactor Monitoring Circuit - Constantly checking the integrity of AC
charging path.
• Auto-Restart - In the event of power outage or temporary fault condition,
allows charging to resume without intervention.
• NEMA Type 4 Enclosure - Protects against exposure to weather.
• Portable Unit - Easy to transport for charging anywhere.
• Compact Design - Convenient cord-stowage and carry handle.
• Excessive Cable Strain Detection - On detection of excessive pressure
on Charge Cord the Portable Charger issues a warning and de-energizes
the Charge Cord.
• UL listed.

CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
2. Connect the Portable Charger to the Vehicle:
NOTE: The vehicle must be parked close enough to the Portable Charger to allow the Charge
Connector to connect to the vehicle charge port without putting any stress on the Charge Connector
Cord. Position the Charge Connector Cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
Depress the Charge Connector Release Button and remove the Charge Connector from the dock.
Release the cord straps to unwrap the Charge Connector Cord from the Portable Charger.
Plug the Charge Connector into the charge port on the vehicle (see vehicle owner’s manual for
location of charge port). Ensure that the Charge Connector is fully engaged. Once the Charge
Connector is engaged, a second self-test will initiate, where the Fault LED will illuminate momentarily.
If no fault is detected and a proper connection is made between the vehicle and the Portable Charger,
the Charging LED will illuminate.
NOTE: The Charge Connector Release Button has to be fully released in order for the charging to
start. The Charge Connector cannot be disengaged from the vehicle charge port without depressing
the Charge Connector Release Button. Pressing the Charge Connector Release Button stops the
charge to the vehicle.
3. Charge Vehicle:
At this point, charging will begin automatically (assuming the battery is not fully charged). Verify that
the Power LED and Charging LED are illuminated, and the Fault LED is off.
NOTE: If the Charging LED does not illuminate after the self-test completes and the Charge
Connector is plugged in, remove the Charge Connector and try plugging it in again.
NOTE: Disengaging the Charge Connector from the vehicle charge port while charging will
automatically stop the charging process. Reinserting the Charge Connector into the vehicle charge
port will automatically restart charging after a self-test.
The Portable Charger begins charging at 7 Amps (.84kW). To increase the charge rate to 12 Amps
(1.4kW), press the 12 Amp button. The 12 AMP LED will illuminate to indicate a 12 Amp (1.4kW)
charge rate has been selected.
NOTE: Charging at 12 Amps is recommended when the Portable Charger is plugged into a dedicated
circuit. If the amperage of the outlet being used is insufficient, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip and
stop the charging process. In this circumstance, reset circuit breaker and charge at 7 Amps, or use
another outlet.
4. End Charge:
Once the vehicle has been fully charged, the charging process will automatically stop. Verify that the
Power LED is illuminated, and that the Charging and Fault LEDs are off. The total charge time will
vary based on vehicle, initial charge state of battery, and other variables. Consult your vehicle owner's
manual for specific charge rates. If the vehicle is charging longer than the amount of time specified
in the vehicle’s manual, disconnect the Portable Charger from the vehicle and contact the vehicle
manufacturer.
To interrupt the charging cycle, simply unplug the Charge Connector from the vehicle charge port.
The Charging LED will turn off to alert the user that the charging process has ceased. Reinserting
the Charge Connector into the vehicle charge port will automatically restart charging at 7 Amps
(after a self-test).
5. Disconnect Portable Charger:
CAUTION: Once the vehicle is fully charged, the Charge Connector must be disconnected from the
vehicle charge port before the vehicle can be moved. Simply depress the Charge Connector Release
Button on the Charge Connector and unplug it from the vehicle charge port.
Unplug the AC Supply Plug from the wall outlet. Carefully loop the Charge Connector Cord around the
Portable Charger and insert the Charge Connector into the dock on the Portable Charger. Secure the
Charge Connector Cord in place by re-attaching the cord straps on either side of the Portable Charger.
Store the Portable Charger appropriately.

Charging LED will illuminate, and charging will commence. If the fault is still detected after 3
attempts, the Fault LED will illuminate solid Red. Call Customer Support Hotline.
