Outlets that can be connected
NEMA 5-15R outlet
The illustration is an example shown for demonstration purposes , and may differ from the actual configuration .
■ The charging environment
For safe charging , the following charging equipment and settings are recommended .
● Weatherproof outlet When charging outdoors , connect the plug to a weatherproof outlet , and ensure that the plug remains waterproof while the plug is connected .
● Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire , connect only to an at least 15A branch circuit with an over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code ,
ANSI / NFPA 70 .
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug , connect to a outlet with a Ground- Fault Circuit-Interrupter ( GFCI ) or that has an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker installed .
WARNING
■ Power sources precautions Observe the following precautions .
If you do not follow them , fire , electrical shock or damage may
occur , possibly resulting in death or serious injury .
●Connect to an AC 120 V outlet ( NEMA 5-15R ) with a Ground- Fault Circuit-Interrupter ( GFCI ) and supplied by a circuit
breaker per your local code . Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended .
●Do not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-outlet adaptor , multi-plugs , or conversion plug .
●Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is strictly prohibited . The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a Ground- Fault Circuit-Interrupter ( GFCI ).
The leakage detection function of the CCID ( Charging Circuit Interrupting Device ) ( �P . 88 )
may not operate correctly .
