11. I turned off the power switches on my Patriot Power
Generator, but the unit's fan is still on. Should I be
worried?
• You do not need to worry. The fan for your Patriot Power Generator
is designed to cool the internal components, even if the unit is
powered off. Especially, if you are charging your unit, you can
expect the fan to run frequently, even with the main switch off.
12. The Patriot Power Generator emits a burning odor
while operating.
• The Patriot Power Generator should not have any odor while
functioning or being stored. Dust, dirt, or debris should not be
allowed to enter the Patriot Power Generator, but if it does, it may
emit a very light odor similar to a clothes dryer when the generator
is powered on. Use electronics-safe compressed canned air to
clear the vents of your unit (only while the unit is turned off). If you
notice a strong, smoky, or persistent odor, stop use immediately.
Do not attempt to remove anything from the interior of the Patriot
Power Generator. Do not use the Patriot Power Generator again, and
contact customer service for repair or replacement (see Contact
Information on page 2).
13. The Patriot Power Generator will not run my
microwave after I used it to watch TV.
• The Patriot Power Generator has a battery capacity of 768 watt-
hours. After a device has used 500 watt-hours of the battery,
another device will only have 268 watt-hours, not 768. Remember
to calculate the power consumption of the devices you use and
ration the time you plan to use your unit accordingly. The LCD
display will help you with these calculations because it shows the
wattage used by any appliance plugged in.
• To ensure you are able to enjoy Patriot Power Generator’s full
battery charge the next time you use it, charge it fully and turn the
power off after use.
• To extend the battery life, connect the Patriot Power Generator to
solar panels during use.
14. The AC 120V outlet turns off when I use two electronic
devices at the same time.
• The Patriot Power Generator has a number of safety features built
in to prevent injury to you or damage the unit. One of these safety
