CAUTION
 Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
If use is continued without inspection, fire or electric shock may occur,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
 The charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) etc. have not been damaged
 The socket has not been damaged
 The plug does not get extremely hot during use
 The tip of the plug has not been deformed
 The plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Inspect the plug after removing it from the socket.
 Maintaining the charging cable
When the cable is dirty, first remove the dirt with a hard, wringed cloth, and
then wipe the cable with a dry cloth. Do not wash with water, as doing so
could cause a fire or electrical shock when charging, which could lead to
death or serious injury.
 When not using the charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the socket. Dust could accumulate on the plug or in
the socket, possibly causing overheating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.
