• Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply.
• Allow the charger to cool down in a well-ventilated area.
• Leave the charger disconnected for at least 15–30 minutes before reconnecting it.

If the ER8 error persists after the charger has cooled down, inspect the installation environment for inadequate ventilation, excessive ambient temperatures, or blocked cooling vents.
