Follow these points when charging. If you do not follow them, fire or electri-
cal shock may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
●Connect to a power source suitable for charging.
●Check that the outlet, charging cable and charging inlet are not damaged.
●Check that the tips of the plug have not been deformed.
●If the plug is dirty or dusty, clean it before inserting.
●Plugging into the outlet that is located in a spot that is not high above the
ground or floor is recommended.
●Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
●Do not touch the electrical terminals of the charging connector or short it
with foreign objects.
