recommended. For maximum battery
life, it is recommended that the batteries
be discharged a minimum of 30% (7 bars
showing on the BSI) before starting a
charging cycle.
This charger requires a standard household
electrical circuit rated at 15 to 20 Amps.
Consult an authorized electrician if you do not
know the configuration of your circuits. See
warning to the right.
Park the vehicle at an authorized charging
station. Refer to Parking in the Driving section.
Connect the charging cord to the vehicle
charging port and then plug the cord into the
AC power receptacle.
The charger status LED's will flash in
sequence as the charger performs a self
diagnosis and systems check.
The charger will start the charging cycle
only after it has determined that all systems
are OK.
Note: It is recommended that the charging cycle
be allowed to complete normally before
disconnecting the AC power cord.
The status of the charging cycle can be
monitored by means of the status LED's on
the charger. Refer to the previous page for
information on the status LED's.
A beeping noise from the charger is an
indication of a fault during the charging cycle.
Should a fault occur, diagnosis and repair
should be referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING
DO NOT disassemble the charger. There are no user serviceable components in the
charger. Refer all repairs to a qualified technician. Incorrect repair or reassembly of the
