WARNING
Outlets that can be con-
nected
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
NEMA 5-15R outlet
The illustration is an example
shown for demonstration pur-
poses, and may differ from the
actual configuration.
If you do not follow them, fire,
electrical shock or damage may
occur, possibly resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Connect to an AC 120 V outlet
(NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-
Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)
and supplied by a circuit
2
breaker per your local code.
Use of a 15A individual circuit is
strongly recommended.
●Do not connect the AC charging
cable to a multi-outlet adaptor,
multi-plugs, or conversion plug.
■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following
charging equipment and settings
are recommended.
●Weatherproof outlet
When charging outdoors, connect
the plug to a weatherproof outlet,
and ensure that the plug remains
waterproof while the plug is con-
nected.
●Connecting the AC charging
cable to an extension cord is
strictly prohibited. The exten-
sion cord may overheat and
does not contain a Ground-
Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
The leakage detection function
of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) (P.90)
may not operate correctly.
●Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect
only to an at least 15A branch cir-
cuit with an over-current protec-
tion in accordance with the
National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock
when working with the plug, con-
nect to a outlet with a Ground-
Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or
that has an Earth Leakage Circuit
Breaker installed.
