# Can I use my EV charger as a simple plug-and-charge device?

Some EV drivers prefer a simple charging experience without apps, Wi-Fi connections, charging schedules, or smart charging controls.

In plug-and-play mode, your EV charger works like a traditional appliance – simply plug in your vehicle and charging will begin, with your car managing the charging process. Here's how to switch your charger into plug-and-play mode.

**Step-by-Step Instructions:**

1. **Switch Your Phone to Airplane Mode**

Ensure your phone is in airplane mode to prevent interruptions.

1. **Enable Wi-Fi on Your Phone**

Open your phone’s settings and turn on Wi-Fi.

1. **Connect to the Charger’s Network**

- - Look for the charger’s serial number in the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

- - If the serial number doesn’t appear:

- - Reset the breaker for the charger and turn it back on.

- - Wait a few minutes for the charger to restart and try again.

- - Use the password **admin123** to connect to the network.

4\. **Access the Charger Interface**

- - Open your internet browser (Safari, Google Chrome, etc.).

- - Enter **192.168.4.1** in the address bar and navigate to the page.

5\. **Enter the PIN Code**

- - If prompted, enter the 4-digit PIN code for your charger.

- - Your PIN code – this will have been in the box on a sticker when the charger was installed (also found on the side of your DuraCharger).

6\. **Adjust the Settings**

- - On the interface, look for an option in blue labelled **Charger Setup** and select it.

- - Choose **Plug-and-Charge Mode** and confirm the setting.

7\. **Confirm Plug-and-Play Mode**

- - Finalise your settings by selecting **Plug-and-Play Mode** and confirming.

 

**NOTE:** This will leave the charger open for **anyone** to use the charger without consent
