IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
• Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before working on the
appliance. Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers only
interrupt power to the “hot” receptacle terminals. The “neutral” terminals remain
powered with respect to the “ground” terminals.
• NOT approved for ignition protected areas. Do not make any electrical connections
or disconnections in areas designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This includes DC
cigarette lighter type plug connection or airplane adapter.
• Do not operate the
VEC415
near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
• Provide adequate ventilation and refrain from placing items on or around the
inverter during operation.
• Proper cooling is essential when operating the inverter. Do not place the unit near
the vehicle’s heat vent or in direct sunlight.
• NEVER immerse the unit in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.
• DO NOT insert foreign objects into the AC outlet or the USB charging port.
• DO NOT attempt to connect or set up the unit or its components while operating your
vehicle. Inattention to the road may result in a serious accident.
• This is not a toy — keep away from children.
• INSTALL AND OPERATE UNIT ONLY AS DESCRIBED IN THIS USER’S MANUAL.
CAUTIONS
1. Always use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not block ventilation slots.
2. DO NOT use the inverter near flammable materials or in locations that may accumulate flammable
fumes or gases.
3. ALWAYS turn the inverter OFF by disconnecting it from the DC accessory outlet when not in use.
4. DO NOT expose to extreme heat or flames.
5. Make sure the nominal powering voltage is 12 volts DC, center connection positive (+).
6. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems*. Reverse polarity connection will result in a
blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
*The majority of modern automobiles, RVs, trucks and boats are negative ground.
7. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that produce heat, such as hair
dryers, microwave ovens and toasters.
8. This inverter is not tested for use with medical device.
9. Do not open the Inverter — there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
