Regulatory

The 

$XWR3RZHU

Inverter/Charger is certified to appropriate US 

and Canadian standards. For more information see “Regulatory 
Approvals” on the Specifications section in the Owner’s Guide.

The Inverter/Charger is intended to be used for mobile or commercial 
applications. This inverter/charger is designed for marine applications only 
when additional drip protection is installed in certain orientations. 

It is not intended for other applications as it may not comply with the 
additional safety code requirements needed for those other applications. 
See “Limitations On Use” below.

FCC Information to the User

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate 
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to 
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the 
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 
which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

LIMITATIONS ON USE

Do not use in connection with life support systems or other medical 
equipment or devices.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious 
injury.

Unauthorized changes or modifications to the equipment could void the 
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
