General Operational Safety Warnings:
- DANGER: Do not operate the Charging Dock with a damaged output cable, connector, or Charging Dock housing. Visually inspect the output cable, connector, and Charging Dock housing for damage before each use. If you detect any damage, stop using the Charging Dock and contact Customer Support.
- WARNING: Always position the Charging Dock output cable so that it will not be driven over, stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise damaged or stressed during use. To prevent personal injury and damage to the Charging Dock, output cable, and connector, always stow the output cable after use.
- WARNING: STRANGULATION HAZARD: Small children could become entangled in the output cable and be strangled. Keep small children away from the Charging Dock, and always stow the output cable after use.
- WARNING: The Charging Dock is intended for use by licensed drivers only. Children should not be allowed to play near the Charging Dock. Do not allow children to play near the Charging Dock. Close supervision of children is necessary when the Charging Dock is used near children.
- WARNING: Use the Charging Dock only to supply power to electric vehicles equipped with a compatible vehicle receptacle. If you do not know whether a vehicle is equipped with a compatible vehicle receptacle, check the owner's manual.
High Voltage Warning:
- DANGER: High voltage is present in your electric meter housing and power distribution service panel. Contact with high voltage can cause death or serious personal injury.
- WARNING: It is recommended that your Charging Dock be installed by a licensed electrician. To avoid serious injury or death, installation must be in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and must comply with the provisions of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all local codes.
