• After charging the battery, disconnect the adapter from the accessory socket first,
then from the charging jack.
• Replace the dust cover on the charging jack.
DC TO AC POWER INVERTER
The Power Dome’s inverter can operate most AC appliances or a combination of appliances
up to 200 watts. Operating time is dependant on the AC load (watts) and the charge
and condition of Power Dome’s internal battery. Reduced AC loads and a full charge on
the battery will result in longer operating time. Be sure to turn off or disconnect any AC
appliance not in use. There is a user replaceable 25 amp automotive type fuse below the
inverter ON/OFF switch. This fuse protects the inverter from an unlikely excessive input
current. Ordinary overloads will cause the inverter to automatically shut down. Reduce the
load and restart the inverter.
USING THE POWER INVERTER
CAUTION: Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These
devices are likely to operate properly with this inverter. Rechargeable devices that have built-
in chargers, on the other hand, may not be compatible with this type of inverter (see device
owner’s manual).
Some motorized devices may operate at excessively elevated temperature when used
with this inverter. During first use with this inverter, check for excessive motor temperature.
Abnormally elevated temperature of the device is an indication that they should not be
used with this inverter.
1. Open the AC outlet dust cover.
2. Connect the AC appliance or appliances to either AC outlet.
3. Turn on the inverter by switching the Inverter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON “|”
position.
4. If the Inverter Power Indicator LED light is green, the inverter is operating.
5. Turn on one AC appliance and observe the Power Indicator.
• If the LED remains green, then turn on the second appliance.
• If the Power Indicator remains green, then both
appliances are operating properly.
• If the Power indicator LED is not lit, then reduce the AC load. If the
inverter is still not operating, refer to the troubleshooting table at the
end of this User’s Manual.
6. After use, remove the appliances from the plugs.
7. Replace the Inverter dust covers and switch the Inverter Power Switch to the OFF
“O” position.
8. Recharge the Power Dome as soon as convenient.
DC POWER PORT
The DC Power Port (accessory socket) is located to the left of the Air Compressor Hose
Compartment. The port can power a DC load up to 11 Amps. Overloading the port results
in “tripping” and self-resetting circuit breaker. Removing the overload automatically restores
power to the DC power port.
1. Uncover the dust cover from the Power Port.
2. Turn the DC/USB Power Switch (next to the DC power port) to the ON “|” position.
Maker sure the LED next to the switch is lit.
3. Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into the Power Port.
4. Operate the appliance as usual.
5. After use, disconnect the accessory plug from the Power Port
and store the accessory.
6. Replace the Power Port’s dust cover and switch the DC/USB Power Switch to the
OFF “O” position.
7. Recharge the Power Dome as soon as convenient.
USB POWER PORT
1. Uncover the dust cover from the Power Port.
2. Turn the DC/USB Power Switch (next to the DC power port) to the ON “|” position.
Maker sure the LED next to the switch is lit.
3. Insert the USB plug into the Power Port.
4. Operate the appliance as usual.
5. After use, disconnect the USB plug.
6. Replace the Power Port’s dust cover and switch the DC/USB Power Switch to the
OFF “O” position.
7. Recharge the Power Dome as soon as convenient.
AM/FM RADIO
The Radio can receive frequencies in the standard AM and FM broadcast bands (AM
520–1710 kHz, FM 88–108 MHz). An extendable rod antenna provides adequate signal
to receive all local radio stations. When not in use, the antenna should be stored in the
retracted position. This will prevent damage to the antenna while Power Dome is being
moved. All Radio controls are conveniently located in one area.
NOTE: All AM band radios are subject to receiving noise interference from electronic
devices, static lightning strikes and some motorized equipment. If you are operating the
Power Dome inverter and noise is being received on the AM band, either turn OFF the
inverter or change the radio to receive the FM band.
