Use and Care Manual
Interference with Electronic Equipment
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as
they would with household AC power. Below is information
concerning two possible exceptions.
Buzzing sound in audio systems and radios
Some low quality stereo systems and AM-FM radios have
inadequate internal power supply ltering and “buzz” slightly
when powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is
an audio product with a higher quality lter.
Television interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV
signals. However, with weak TV signals interference may be
visible in the form of lines scrolling across the screen. The
following should minimize or eliminate the problem:
• Increase the distance between the inverter and the TV,
antenna and cables.
• Adjust the orientation of the inverter, television, antenna
and cables.
• Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna
and use shielded antenna cable where possible.

Inverter Operating Instructions
WARNING: RISK OF UNSAFE
OPERATION
When using tools or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Improper operation,
maintenance or modication of equipment could result
in serious injury and property damage. We strongly
recommend that this product NOT be modied and/
or used for any application other than for which it was
designed. Read and understand all warnings and
operating instructions before using any equipment.
1. Plug the inverter into your vehicle’s accessory
socket.
2. Plug an AC-powered device into the three-prong
AC receptacle and turn it on. Make sure that the
power rating of the device is less than the “peak
power” of the inverter.
CAUTION:
VEHICLE BATTERY
DISCHARGE
Some vehicles’ DC accessory socket remain powered
even when the ignition switch or engine is turned off. To
avoid discharging the vehicle’s battery, always remove
the inverter from the DC accessory socket when not in
use.
3. Plug a USB-powered device into the USB port.
The USB port can be used separately and
simultaneously while AC loads are connected
and running via the AC receptacle.
Troubleshooting
This section will help you identify the source of most
problems that can occur with the inverter. If you have a
problem with the inverter, please review this
section before contacting your dealer.
Possible cause
Remedy
1) An overload/over-
temperature shutdown has
occurred.
Use an AC-powered device
that has a power
rating of less than the rated
“peak power”. Allow the
inverter to cool down, or
try to reduce the ambient
temperature and try again.
Do not cover the inverter’s
ventilation openings.
2) High starting surge
has caused an overload
shutdown.
Use an AC-powered device
that has a surge power
rating less than the surge
power rating of the inverter.
3) Vehicle’s ignition switch
is turned off thus the DC
accessory socket is also off.
Turn the vehicle’s ignition
switch to ON. Consult
your vehicle’s manual for
instructions.
4) Poor contact with the DC
accessory socket.
Adjust the inverter’s DC
plug to ensure a snug t. If
needed, clean the DC
accessory socket.
5) Vehicle battery is
discharged.
Recharge the vehicle
battery.
6) Vehicle fuse blown due
to heavy load on the
accessory socket.
Replace the blown fuse.
Consult your vehicle’s
manual for fuse location,
fuse type, and instructions.
PROBLEM: USB-powered device does not operate.
Possible cause Remedy
USB connector is not
inserted properly into the
USB port.
Ensure that the USB
cable’s connectors are
properly tted into the USB
ports of either device.
