Note:When plugging into an unfamiliar wall
outlet, let the vehicle charge for several
minutes before leaving it unattended. The
red indicator will illuminate if not charging.
The unit will turn off if breaker or
infrastructure ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is tripped. You can view vehicle
charging status remotely via the Lincoln Way
App.
Mobile Power Cord Auto-Restart
Auto-restart helps to make sure that your
vehicle will be charged and ready for use
when needed. A charge could be interrupted
if errors are detected. Charging resumes
once the error is no longer detected. The
red indicator illuminates during an error
condition.
The exception to the immediate auto-restart
is when the interruption is due to a charger
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) event.
The charger attempts to restart 15 minutes
after a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
event. After the fourth attempt to restart, the
charger shuts down and the red indicator
stays on.If the fault persists, do not continue to try to
charge your vehicle. Contact your authorized
dealer.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use cleaners or solvents as this could
damage your mobile power cord. Do not
place stress on the charger cables. If unit
overheats, remove the mobile power cord
from direct sunlight.
SAFETY FEATURES
The charger includes the following safety
features to protect against the risk of electric
shock:
• Service Ground Check: The charger
constantly checks for the presence of a
service ground connection. If the service
ground ever fails, the charger red
indicator turns ON and shuts down power
to the vehicle.
• Thermal Event Sensor: Charger module
senses out-of-ordinary thermal events
and decreases the charging current or
shuts the unit down if required.• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Protection: The charger has a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reaction
system to protect against electric shock.
If the charger module detects an output
ground fault, it shuts down power to the
output cable and illuminates the red
indicator.
• Insulation: The charger module,
connector, cable assembly, and charge
coupler are completely insulated. There
are no exposed live parts, to protect
against electric shock.
• Unintentional Disconnection: The charge
coupler is designed to minimize
unintentional disconnection. A pilot signal
wire in the cable and charge coupler
eliminates the possibility of electric shock
when not connected to a vehicle or if an
unintended disconnect occurs during a
charge. Disconnection during charging
is safe.

charge status indicator lights up each
zone alternately from bottom to top and
from bottom to top again.5. If using a charging station, follow the
instructions on the charge station to
begin the charging process.
Charge Port Indicators
The charge status indicator displays how far
along the charge is:
• When the bottom zone is pulsing, the
charge is between 0-20 percent.
• When the bottom zone illuminates and
the next is pulsing, the charge is between
20-40 percent.
• When two zones illuminate and the next
is pulsing, the charge is between 40-60
percent.
• When three zones illuminate and the next
is pulsing, the charge is between 60-80
percent.
• When four zones illuminate and the top
zone is pulsing, the charge is between
80-100 percent.
• When all zones illuminate, the charge is
100 percent.

Note:When charging stops, the charge
status indicator shows all the completed
zones solidly lit up in a blue color for 30
seconds before turning off. For example, if
charging stops at 70 percent, then the
bottom three zones light up solidly to
indicate a battery charge level of at least 60
percent but less than 80 percent. Charging
stops when complete or when paused due
to preferred charge settings or charge
station actions.
Note:If the charge status indicator does not
light up or pulse after plugging in, please
verify that the charge port light setting is On.
If you do not wish to have the charge status
indicator light up at all while charging, then
you can switch it Off. See charge port light
under vehicle settings on your touchscreen.

Note:You can identify charging faults by the
color orange on the charge status indicator.
Faults can occur within the vehicle charging
system or outside the vehicle, such as with
the charge cord, charge station or electrical
supply.Note:If the system detects a fault in the
vehicle charging system at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire charge status
indicator lights up solidly in an orange color
for 30 seconds and then turns off. If this
happens, unplug the charging coupler and
then plug it back into the charge port
receptacle. If the problem persists, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note:If the system detects a fault outside
the vehicle, such as with the charge station
or charge cord, the entire charge status
indicator flashes continuously for 30 seconds
and then turns off. If this happens, check the
charge cord and the charge station or
electrical supply.
Waiting to Charge
E306678
Note:Select charge settings on the home
page of the touchscreen or under the vehicle
settings menu to access charge preferences.Charging may not begin upon plugging in if
you have set up preferred charge times for
this vehicle location. Your vehicle could delay
charging to take advantage of off-peak
electricity rates. Your vehicle optimizes the
charge schedule to be complete by your next
departure time.
When waiting to charge, plugged in and not
currently charging, the charge status
indicator shows the present state of charge
of the high voltage battery by lighting up all
completed zones for 30 seconds before
turning off. For example, if the battery is at
70 percent charge then the bottom three
zones solidly light up to indicate a battery
charge level of at least 60 percent but less
than 80 percent. When the current state of
charge is less than 20 percent, none of the
zones light up.
Note:When your vehicle is waiting to
charge, the charge status indicator turns off
30 seconds after displaying the present state
of charge. When your vehicle begins
charging, the charge status indicator turns
on and displays the status of the charge, as
described above.
