Safety Warnings and Precautions

Unpacking

Operation

Inverter Placement and Ventilation

Place the inverter on a flat surface with adequate ventilation and away from direct sunlight.

Connecting Battery Cables

Connect battery clamp cable lugs to the red and black terminal screws on the back of the inverter.

Connecting to Battery Terminals

Connect battery cable clamps to the negative (black) and positive (red) terminals of the battery.

Connecting AC Devices

Plug 115 VAC devices into the 3-prong AC receptacles, not exceeding 700 total watts.

Turning the Inverter On

Flip the power switch to ON. Wait for the green power LED indicator before using the appliance.

Turning on Connected Appliance

Turn on the appliance. If an alarm sounds, turn off the appliance immediately.

Maintenance

Service and Repair

Device has no user-replaceable parts. Service should only be done by a qualified technician.

Cleaning the Inverter

Keep the unit clean and dry. Unplug before cleaning with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water or harsh cleaners.

Troubleshooting Tips

Low Battery Alarm

Low battery alarm indicates voltage below 10.5V. Recharge battery; inverter shuts off around 8V.

Determining Current Requirements

Estimate required amps by dividing device watts by 12V input voltage.

Appliance Startup Wattage

Some appliances, like TVs, need 2-6x wattage to start. This inverter may not support them.

Audio System Buzzing

Buzzing may occur with modified sine wave. Use sound systems with better power supplies.

TV Signal Interference

Minimize interference by placing inverter away from TV antenna and cables; adjust orientation.

Persistent Low Battery Alarm

Check battery condition and lighter cable plug/socket. Clean the socket if necessary.

Low Output Voltage

Reduce load to minimize watts (e.g., to 140W) and keep input voltage above 10.5V.

No Power Output

Toggle switch, check ignition position, ensure devices do not draw too much power, and allow cooling.
