5.Insert the charging cable plug into an
outlet.WARNINGl Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the outlet before use. If charging
is continued in the state where it is not
fully inserted the plug, there is a possibili- ty of generating abnormal heat and re-sulting in a fire.
l To prevent an electric shock or fire due to
an electric leak, perform charging using a waterproofed outlet with earthing whichis connected to an earth leakage circuitbreaker.
l To reduce the risk of an electric shock or
fire due to an electric leak, always use an
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the breaker may trip and the circuit may cause adverse in-
terference on MCB (Moulded Circuit Board) and household electrical applian- ces such as TVs and audio systems.
l If a multi plug adapter is connected and
used with the EV charging cable together
with other devices, the outlet may over- heat, resulting in a fire.WARNINGl Do not use a multi type outlet to prevent
an electric shock or fire. There is no guar-
antee of safety because you cannot make
an earth connection in some multi type outlet and it is not a dedicated type outlet.
l Use an outlet for EV charging with water-
proofing processing installed if the instal- led position is outdoors or may get wet by
rain etc.CAUTIONl Use the outlet that is installed approx. 1 me-
ter above the ground. If the outlet position is
too low, the control box may touch the ground, which may lead to troubles such as
submersion in water or getting trampled on.NOTEl The shape of the charging cable plug and
outlet may differ from country to country as shown in the illustration.
l Use the following outlets.
l Check if the outlet on your vehicle corre-
sponds with an outlet that is installed in the
following places.
• In your house etc.
• In a parking lot or garage
