When a charged battery pack is installed, this power source
converts DC electricity to 120V AC household power and/or
USB-A (5/9/12V, up to 3A) or USB-C (5/9/12/20V, up to 2A)
charging power, allowing the user to charge and power a variety

LED will light up green when ready to use.
Plug devices you want to power or charge into the power
source’s USB ports and/or 120 volt receptacle.
If the power button LED blinks red, the power source may
be overloaded. Disconnect your device, make sure your
battery pack is sufficiently charged to power your device,
then press the button to reset the power source. Reconnect
your device and try again. If the fault condition immediately
reoccurs, the item being powered exceeds the capacity of
