1-2. Charging
 The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recom-
mended.
 Rain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the plug to a rain-tight socket, and
ensure that the plug remains waterproof while the plug is connected.
 Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 13A branch circuit
with an over-current protection.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, con-
nect to a socket that has a Residual Current Circuit-Breaker (RCCB)
installed.
 Remote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to be interrupted by operating a
switch, thus allowing safe removal and insertion of the plug on rainy
days.
