Usage Features:
-
Charging the GTX280:
- PD100W Max Speed Charging: Connect the inverter to the GTX280 host with a 100W PD charging cable. A 100W wall charger (purchased separately) can also be used.
- Wall Charger (Not included): Around 2.8 hours.
- Type-C Charger: Around 2.8 hours.
- Solar Panels (60W/80W/100W Max, Not included): Charging time depends on solar light intensity.
- It is recommended to recharge the unit if the LCD display shows capacity less than 5% or every 3 months if not in use for a long time.
-
Charging Other Devices:
- USB Output: Connect a standard USB cable to the 5V/2.4A USB output port.
- Quick Charge 3.0 USB Output: Supports 5V to 12V output up to 18W.
- Type-C Output: Supports 5V to 20V output up to 100W.
- 15V/10A DC Output: Plug the DC head into the 15V 10A output port and press the switch button.
- 110V/60Hz AC Output: Connect devices with power consumption less than 150W to the AC outlet on the inverter.
- Low Current Mode: For devices needing light charging current (e.g., headphones, smartwatches), press the POWER and BOOST buttons simultaneously for 2-3 seconds to activate this mode. This prevents the unit from automatically shutting off in 30 seconds due to minimum load current limitation (200mA).
-
Jump Starting a Vehicle:
- Ensure battery power is >20%.
- Insert the jumper cable into the unit.
- Connect the clamps to the car battery: Red to positive (+), Black to negative (-).
- When the screen shows "READY" (Solid), start the vehicle engine.
- If the car battery is too low to detect or totally dead, press the BOOST button.
- Do not start the vehicle continuously more than 4 times within 10 minutes. If the engine fails to start within 3 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 30 seconds before trying again.
- If "READY" (Solid) appears, clamps are connected correctly. If "X" appears, clamps are reversed.
- If the unit can't start a vehicle, fully recharge it, press "BOOST" after connecting correctly, and start within 30 seconds.
-
Using the Inverter:
- Insert the inverter's cigarette lighter plug into the automobile cigarette lighter socket or the GTX280's 15V/10A cigarette lighter output socket. Ensure a tight connection; if loose, open the shrapnel on both sides of the insert head before inserting.
- Confirm the inverter's power indicator is on and the electrical appliance's power is below 150W.
- Insert the power plug of the appliance into the inverter's socket.
- Remove the inverter from the cigarette lighter socket when not in use to avoid draining battery power.
-
LED Flashlight:
- Power on the unit, then press the power button for 1-2 seconds to turn on the LED light.
- Press lightly to cycle through Normal, SOS, Strobe, and Off modes.
Maintenance Features:
- Recharging Frequency: Recharge every 3 months to prevent power shortage if not in use for a long time.
- Storage Temperature: Store at ambient temperature of -20~60°C / -4~140°F. Avoid direct sunlight or hot temperatures (>60°C/140°F) to prevent battery damage, swelling, and safety risks. Do not leave in a parked car under direct sunlight for long periods.
