15. OPERATING THE CHARGER

USING THE CHARGER
WITHOUT THE INTERNET
The charger itself is a stand-alone device
and will function as a battery charger/
maintainer without an internet connection.
However, without a Cloud connection, the
App will not reflect the charging progress.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the vehicle with
the charger connected to the AC outlet,
or it may damage the charger and your
vehicle.
WARNING: This charger is equipped with
an auto-start feature. Current is supplied
to the battery clamps before a battery is
connected, and the clamps will spark if
touched together.
NOTE: This charger is also a maintainer,
and can be left on the battery of vehicles
that are being stored.
