NOTE:

•

When the power inverter switch is pressed, there will
be a delay of approximately one second before the
power inverter status indicator turns on. The status
indicator of the AC power inverter indicates whether
the inverter is producing AC power.

•

Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter
will shut down if the power rating is exceeded.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:

•

Do not use a three-prong adapter.

•

Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.

•

Do not touch with wet hands.

•

Close the lid when not in use.

•

If this outlet is mishandled it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
