Getting started

Your first charge

1. Park within reach of the cable. The Type 2 plug is on a 5 m tethered cable.
2. Wake the charger by waving a hand near it (it has a presence sensor) — the LCD will light up.
3. Tap one of the two RFID cards that came in the box on the reader on the front. You'll hear a short beep.
4. Plug the Type 2 connector into your car. The car takes over from there.
5. The green LED ring will fill outwards as you charge.

You don't need the Z-BOX app on day one — RFID + plug-in is enough. The app unlocks scheduled charging and history when you're ready.

What the LED ring means

The ring around the bottom of the charger shows what's happening at a glance.

Lights off

No power. Check the breaker at your fuseboard.

All green LEDs ON, brightness fading top → bottom

Charger powered up, waiting for you to plug in or tap an RFID card.

Green LEDs running up and down

Plugged in — the charger is waiting for you to authenticate (RFID card or app).

Green LED in the middle

Authenticated — waiting for the car to start drawing current.

Green LEDs expanding from the middle outward

Charging is underway.

All green LEDs solid ON

Charge complete. Safe to unplug.

Green LED slow breathing

Standby — nothing plugged in.

Green LEDs slow blinking

Wi-Fi setup mode (only after you start it from the app).

Yellow LEDs flashing

Charger needs configuration in the app — open the Z-BOX app to finish setup.

For red, yellow-flashing or other unusual states, see the troubleshooting guide.

Cable care

• Don't drive over the cable.
• Hang the connector on the holster when not in use — keep it off the ground.
• Don't use cleaning solvents — wipe the cable and unit with a clean, dry cloth.
• Don't use an extension lead.
