Power strips, adapters, extension cords, surge protectors or similar devices must not be used together with the charging cable since this may involve a risk of fire, electric shocks, etc.
Do not use an external timer or adapter between the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) and the charging cable.
Important
Never detach the charging cable from the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) while charging is in progress – the 120/240 V outlet could be damaged in such circumstances.
