putting out 240 or 208 VAC.
With the Power Available light on, plug the EVSE into the car.
If you have any fault lights, please consult Installation and
Operations Manual on the provided USB key chain.
WARNING! Do not force the connector into the receiver
on the vehicle. If the connection between the receiver and
connector shows any resistance, inspect the pins in each, and
if damage is found, call a qualified service person.
WARNING! When
installed outdoors, due
to the risk of moisture,
cord and plug installations
require a NEMA outdoor
rated receptacle and
enclosure. Installing
outdoors without properly
rated outdoor receptacles
and enclosures will violate
listings and void the device warranty. Outdoor cord-and- plug
installations must be bottom fed only.
