Prepare the charging cable Insert the charging cable’s plug
into the electrical receptacle of
the external power source.
Make sure that the standards of
the electrical receptacle and
charging cable's plug match.
(P. 50)
Check that the power indicator of
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is illuminated. (If it
does not illuminate, refer to the
text on page 88.)
To reduce the burden on the elec-
trical receptacle and charging

hanging the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device) on a
hook or similar.

CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) to check that the

correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button to
turn off the error warning indica-
tor. Charging cannot be carried
