2. Low Battery Voltage Alarm/Shutdown Protection
a) When the input voltage from the 12 volt power source
drops below 10.5 volts, an audible tone will be heard.
This is the low battery voltage alarm.
b) The inverter will automatically shut down when the
input voltage drops below 10 volts. This protects the
battery from completely draining.
In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible
alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position
until the source of the related problem has been identified
and resolved.
Some Powerful Advice.
When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that
neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe
operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear of
the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear
shift.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note
the following important safety precautions:
• MOISTURE. Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it
to moisture. Do not operate the inverter if you, the
inverter, the device being operated or any other
surfaces that may come in contact with any power
sources are wet. Water and many other liquids can
conduct electricity which may lead to serious injury or
death.
• HEAT. For peak efficiency, the ambient air
temperature should be between 50° and 80° F. Avoid
placing the inverter on or near heating vents,
radiators or other sources of heat. Do not place the
inverter in direct sunlight.
• VENTILATION. In order to disperse the heat
generated while the inverter is in operation, keep it
well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches
of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter.
• FUMES & GASES. Avoid using the inverter near
flammable materials. Do not place the inverter in
areas such as battery compartments. Where fumes or
gases may accumulate.
In Review.
• Never attempt to operate your WHISTLER inverter
from any power source other than a 12 volt battery or
group of batteries that total 12 volts.
