oPeration
1. Plug the Mobile Inverter
Power into your vehicle’s
cigarette lighter socket. If
the socket’s too big, adjust
the negative connectors
using the slide control to
ensure a snug fit. The
green LED will light.
2. Plug an AC device into the
AC receptacle and turn it on. Be sure the item draws no more than 150 W
of continuous AC power. To avoid discharging the vehicle battery,
always remove the inverter from the lighter socket when not in use.

Operating tips
(If the connected AC item doesn’t work and/or the inverter’s power LED doesn’t light)
:
Likely Cause
Suggested Solution
AC item rated above 150 W, causing overload shutdown
Replace AC item with one using less power
Excessive startup surge causes overload shutdown
Replace AC item with one that has less
than a 350 W startup surge
Lighter socket or 12 V outlet may require ignition be turned on Turn the ignition key to Accessory position
Poor contact with the lighter socket or 12 V outlet
Press inverter firmly into the socket/outlet
Vehicle battery is discharged
Recharge the battery
NOTE: If you experience a buzzing sound in an audio component/system connected to the inverter, it could
be because inexpensive stereo systems have an inadequate internal power supply. The only solution is to
upgrade to a higher-quality system.
