Tips with using the Tesla UMC J1772 Adapter
- Attach Tesla-J1772 adapter to the J1772 plug before inserting it into the Model S charge port.
- Make sure the charge port is flashing green before walking away.
- Do not detach just the J1772 plug from the adapter while plugged in. Be sure to remove the entire assembly (adapter + J1772 plug) when unplugging.
- Be sure to unlock the charge port from the center touchscreen display before pulling out the charge plug.
