Place the inverter on a flat surface with adequate ventilation and away from direct sunlight.
Connect battery clamp cable lugs to the red and black terminal screws on the back of the inverter.
Connect battery cable clamps to the negative (black) and positive (red) terminals of the battery.
Plug 115 VAC devices into the 3-prong AC receptacles, not exceeding 700 total watts.
Flip the power switch to ON. Wait for the green power LED indicator before using the appliance.
Turn on the appliance. If an alarm sounds, turn off the appliance immediately.
Device has no user-replaceable parts. Service should only be done by a qualified technician.
Keep the unit clean and dry. Unplug before cleaning with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water or harsh cleaners.
Low battery alarm indicates voltage below 10.5V. Recharge battery; inverter shuts off around 8V.
Estimate required amps by dividing device watts by 12V input voltage.
Some appliances, like TVs, need 2-6x wattage to start. This inverter may not support them.
Buzzing may occur with modified sine wave. Use sound systems with better power supplies.
Minimize interference by placing inverter away from TV antenna and cables; adjust orientation.
Check battery condition and lighter cable plug/socket. Clean the socket if necessary.
Reduce load to minimize watts (e.g., to 140W) and keep input voltage above 10.5V.
Toggle switch, check ignition position, ensure devices do not draw too much power, and allow cooling.
