Warnings and cautions

Warning: The High Power Connector
must be installed by a Tesla-
recommended installer or a licensed
Safety and regulatory information
electrician of your choice. The installer will
test the unit to ensure that it is operating
correctly. Installation performed by installers
who are not electricians, or who are not
Tesla-recommended installers may result in
fire, serious injury, or death.
Warning: The High Power Connector
must be grounded through a
permanent wiring system or an equipment
grounding conductor. Failure to properly
ground the High Power Connector could
result in fire, serious injury or death.
Warning: Do not install the High Power
Connector near flammable, explosive,
or combustible materials.
Caution: Do not expose the High Power
Connector to temperatures outside its
operating range of -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to
+50°C).
Caution: Incorrect installation and
testing of the High Power Connector
could result in damage to the vehicle's
Battery and to the High Power Connector
itself.
Caution: Store the High Power
Connector in temperatures between
-58°F and + 176°F (-50°C and +80°C) to
protect it from damages that may be caused
by storing it at temperatures outside of this
range.
Caution: When transporting the High
Power Connector, handle with care to
prevent its internal components from being
damaged.
Caution: Do not use cleaning solvents
to clean any of the High Power
Connector's components. The outside of the
High Power Connector, the charging cable,
and the connector end of the charging cable
should be regularly cleaned with a clean dry
or damp cloth to remove any accumulation of
dust and dirt.
