CAUTION
■
Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
If use is continued without inspection, fire or electric shock may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●The charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) etc. have not been damaged
● The electrical receptacle has not been damaged
● The plug does not get extremely hot during use
● The tip of the plug has not been deformed
● The plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Inspect the plug after removing it from the electrical receptacle.
■ Maintaining the charging cable
When the cable is dirty, first remove the dirt with a squeezed out cloth, and
then wipe the cable with a dry cloth. Do not wash with water, as doing so
could cause a fire or electrical shock when charging, which could lead to
death or serious injury.
■ When not using the char ging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle. Dust could accumulate on
the plug or in the electrical receptacle, possibly causing overheating which
could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.
