OPERATION

The LCS Electric Vehicle Charging Station is a compact wall-mounted charging
station that provides the Plug-in Hybrid or Battery Electric Vehicle (together
Plug-In Electric Vehicles, or "PEV") user with a safe and manageable link be-
tween the power grid and the PEV.

The LCS is very easy to use. Just unwrap the SAE-J1772 charge cable and plug
tm
the charge coupler firmly into the vehicle s charge port.
Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special commu-
nication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the green "Charging" light on
the face of the LCS will turn on and the charging cycle will begin. After an av-
erage driving day the vehicle battery pack will require several hours to recharge
completely. Charging overnight is the most convenient way to maintain healthy
batteries and ensure the vehicle's full range will be available for the next day.
When the vehicle has stopped charging the green "Charging" light on the LCS
will turn off. To remove the charge coupler once a charge cycle has completed
(or to interrupt a charge in progress) press and hold down the latch release lever
on the charge coupler handle then unplug the charge coupler from the vehicle
charge port.
