Safety precautions

Caution

Mishandling the product in disregard of this symbol may cause injury or damage toproperty.

Use the product in the ambient temperature ranging from -40°C to +60°C.
MUST

Using the product at a temperature outside the above range may cause the charging connector to
malfunction. A low ambient temperature hardens the cable and makes it difficult to bend. A highambient temperature increases the surface temperature of the cable. Handle it carefully.

Store the product in the ambient temperature ranging from -40°C to +80°C.
Storing it at temperature outside the above range may cause the charging connector to malfunction.
MUST

Return the charging connector to the predetermined position after charging.
MUST

Failing to do so may cause malfunctioning, breakage or an accident.
Keep it with caution.

Exercise caution when touching the charging connector under the scorching
sun or in a cold area.
MUST

The surface of the charging connector may be very hot or cold, which may cause burn or frozen bite.

Ensure that Vehicle Connector is inserted to Vehicle inlet straightly.
Scratch, crack or turned-up of Lip packing may occur due to prying forcibly.

How to use the product
Connecting charging connector
NotePark your vehicle at a position closer to a charging connector or a charging station such that the cable is nottensioned.

1.Confirm that the housing and the vehicle inlet contain no foreign substance.
If either of them contains a foreign substance, remove it in accordance with the maintenancesection (pages 13 to 16).

2.Hold the charging connector with hands, align the guides (convex) with the grooves(concave) in the vehicle inlet and insert the connector straight.

How to use the productMaintenance
To use the product safely, be sure to perform daily check, maintenance and regular checks.
If the product is in an unusual state, stop using it immediately and take appropriate measures.
Be sure to observe the following rules:• Power off the vehicle charging station before starting maintenance. Take measures to prevent power-on
during maintenance.
• Place the charging connector in a stable place before inspection. Failing to do so may drop the product, which
may cause injury.
• Do not touch the terminals.
• Do not pour water on the charging connector. Doing so may cause electric shock.
• Do not directly spray detergent to the product. Once detergent enters the inside of the charging connector, it is
attached to internal electronic parts and cause corrosion, which in turn results in malfunctioning or breakdown.
Be sure to soak a cloth with detergent.
• Do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, polishing powder, detergent, wire wool, metal brushes, scrubber, or
polishing sponge. They may degrade the surface of the charging connector to cause peeling-off, discoloration or
breakage of resin parts. They may degrade the surface of the cable and thus damage the cable.

Daily inspection and maintenance
Perform daily inspection and clean the product each time it becomes dirty.
In particular, always keep the portions that come into contact with a hand, such as the grip and Releasebutton, clean.
Recommended frequency for inspection: Each time the product is used.
No.
