POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE6.
The Portable Power 950 is a power source for all 12 volt DC accessories
that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. The DC accessory outlet
has a 15-amp automatic overload protection circuit breaker. The breaker
will automatically reset after an overload occurs.

Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front panel of the •
Portable Power 950.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC •
device “ON” (if required).
If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A, the internal circuit breaker of •
the Portable Power 950 will momentarily disconnect power to the device.
If this occurs, unplug the device and the circuit breaker will automatically
reset after several seconds.
The DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the internal battery. •
Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery
drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the device.
