Having difficulty getting the car to charge using the Occasional UseCable?
Here are a few helpful hints:
•
 
Connecting the 120V cable to an outlet that is protected by a GFCI (Ground FaultCircuit Interrupter) will likely result in charging faults displayed on the front panel of the Occasional Use Cable. The 120V cable is equipped with a GFCI. Having twoGFCIs on the same circuit causes a line imbalance that may be interpreted as a faultby the cable. Try plugging the 120V cable into another outlet without a GFCI toverify proper charging.GFCI outlet with test buttons Typical 120V outlet – non GFCINote: Multiple outlets may be wired to a single GFCI. If charging problemspersist, verify that the outlet does not have a GFCI wired in-line at anotherlocation or at the Breaker box.
