Unplug the Inverter from the cigarette 

5. 

lighter outlet. 

Note:

 The total wattage of all items 

plugged into the Power Inverter must 

not exceed 80 watts during continu-

ous operation, otherwise the Inverter 

may overload and shut off.

Note:

 This unit has an automatic shut off 

feature if output is over 100 watts or if 

input is under 10.5VDC.

caution:

 Some rechargeable appliances 

may damage the Power Inverter 

or the appliance.  When first using 

a rechargeable device, check the 

inverter’s temperature for the first 10 

minutes.  If it becomes abnormally 

hot, do not use this device with the 

Inverter.

caution:

  It is recommended that the ve-

hicle be running when you first con-

nect the Power Inverter. Thereafter 

the engine can be on or off. If you run 

the Power Inverter with the engine 

off it is recommended that you start 

and run the engine every hour for at 

least 10 minutes to recharge the bat-

tery.  Doing this will help prevent any 

unexpected shutdown of the equip-

ment.  This will also help ensure that 

there will be enough battery power 

to start the vehicle.

  due to the risk 

of carbon monoxide inhalation, do 

not run the vehicle’s engine within 

an enclosed area.

You should not use your car battery 

to power the Inverter for extended pe-

riods of time with appliances requir-

ing high continuous load levels. The 

battery may become drained to the 

point that it will not be able to start 

your vehicle.

Note:

 Deep cycle (marine and RV) bat-

teries  can be charged more times 

than a car battery, and are a better 

choice for repeated use of the Power 

Inverter.  

 

Do not discharge your car battery 

more than 10% of its total capacity, 

and deep cycle batteries more than a 

50% discharged state.
