Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
If use is continued without inspection, fire or electric shock may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●The charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) etc. have not been damaged

could cause a fire or electrical shock when charging, which could lead to
death or serious injury.
■ When not using the char ging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle. Dust could accumulate on
the plug or in the electrical receptacle, possibly causing overheating which
could lead to a fire.
