WARNING
• Electromagnetic waves that are
generated from the charger can seriously impact medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker.
When using medical electric devices
such as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker, make sure to ask the
medical team and manufacturer
whether charging your electric
vehicle will impact the operation of
the medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
• Inspect the charging cable connector
for any signs of water or excess
dust or dirt. Connecting the cable
when there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short circuit
and cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
• Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the charging
port when connecting the cable from
the charger to the charging port on
the vehicle.
• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use caution when connecting the
charger to the charging port when
it is raining or snowing.
- Use caution when there are
adverse weather conditions such
as lightning.
- Use caution when the charging
connector or the charging plug is
wet.
WARNING
• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms (odor,
smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal wires
may disconnect or get damaged. This
may lead to electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connector
and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
• Before charging the battery, turn the
vehicle OFF.
• When the vehicle is switched OFF
while charging, the cooling fan
inside the motor compartment may
automatically operate. Do not touch
the cooling fan while charging.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector can be damaged.
