NOTE: • To stop charging mid-charge, remove the charge connector. Charging automatically stops. HOW TO TRICKLE CHARGE (IF SO EQUIPPED) WARNING • If you use any medical electric devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardiovascular defibrillator, check with the electric medical device manufacturer concerning the effects that charging may have on implanted devices before starting the charge operation. Charging may affect the operation. • If you have an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardiovascular defibrillator, while the Li-ion battery is charging: - Do not stay inside the vehicle. - Do not go inside the vehicle, for example to remove or place an item in the passenger compartment. - Do not open the rear hatch, for example to remove or place an item in the cargo area. Charging may affect the operation of electric medical device and result in serious personal injury or death. • In order to avoid an electric shock or fire due to a short circuit, connect to GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker and use a waterproof electrical ground socket. • The NISSAN Genuine EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging device provided with your vehicle draws 12amps continuously while charging the Li-ion battery. Do not plug in to any electrical circuit unless it is inspected by a licensed electrician to confirm that the electrical circuit can accept a 12 amp draw. Any electrical circuit has a much higher likelihood of being compromised in the following conditions listed below. - Improper use of the charger may result in a fire and serious injury or death. - Do not use this charger in structures more than 40 years old. - Do not use this charger in structures using fuse-based circuit protection. Use only with electrical circuits protected by circuit breakers. - Do not use this charger on electrical circuits with two-prong outlets. - Do not use charger if outlet appears damaged or will not hold plug firmly. - Discontinue charger use immediately if plug or outlet becomes hot to the touch or if you notice any unusual odors. - Do not use charger if other devices are plugged into the same circuit. - Never use extension cords or plug adapters with charger. - Do not operate with a damaged cord. - Always unplug the charger when not in use. - When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord. - The device has parts that may spark inside. Do not use it where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored. Charging CH-11
