NOTE:
When the charge connector is connected to the charge port, READY is disabled.
- To prevent electric shock or fire arising from electric leakage, use a waterproof plug with grounding connected to the ground fault interrupter.
- Never connect to outlets other than rated voltage outlet.
- For charging, never use a generator or any other power source other than specified.
NOTE:
Charging may not be performed correctly or a malfunction may occur.
