5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the inverter (see “CONNECTING INVERTER
CABLES” section).
2. Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
3. Plug the device into the inverter AC outlet.
4. Switch the inverter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Turn the device on.
6. To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device
at a time to avoid a power surge and overloading the inverter.
The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverter’s
Continuous Operation wattage rate.
If you are using the power inverter to operate a
battery charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for
about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally
warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
NOTE: You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the
device without signicantly decreasing the power being generated
by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord
should be no longer than 50 feet.
Using the USB Port
The USB port provides 5V DC.
1. Plug the device into the USB port.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter on. (The
internal speaker will make a brief “beep”. This is normal.)
3. Turn the USB device on.
4. Reverse these steps when nished using the USB port.
Using the inverter to operate a TV or audio device:
The inverter is shielded and ltered to minimize signal
interference. Despite this, some interference may occur with your
television picture, especially with weak signals. Below are some
suggestions to try and improve reception.
1. Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal
under normal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a
standard 120V AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna
cable is adequately shielded and of good quality.
