How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly power‑cycle during an update unless instructed by Hager support.

Steps to try:

  • Wait and observe: If the error appeared during an update, allow at least 10–15 minutes for the process to complete before intervening.
  • Power-cycle once: Turn OFF the charger’s breaker for 2 minutes, then ON. See if the charger boots normally.
  • Use recovery procedure: Follow Hager’s documented recovery method (e.g. via USB, SD card, or special app mode) to reinstall firmware, if available to installers.
  • Contact Hager support: If you cannot recover the firmware, contact Hager or a certified technician. The main control board may need to be re‑flashed with service tools or replaced.
