COMMON PROBLEMS
POWER TOOLS AND MICROWAVE OVENS WON’T START
Read the information panel on each power tool carefully to accurately determine the tool’s input
wattage. Please remember that the power needed to start the power tool may be as much as 2 to
6 times its continuous wattage requirements.
“BUZZING” SOUND IN AUDIO SYSTEMS
Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” emit a buzzing sound from their speakers
when operated from the power inverter. This occurs because the power supply in the electronic
device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the inverter. The only
solution to this problem is to use a higher quality sound system that incorporates a higher quality
power amplified supply.
TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. The problem may not be with
the inverter. However, in some instances, some interference may still be visible, particularly with
weak TV signals. Try the following corrective measures:
- Position the inverter as far as possible from the television, the antenna and the antenna
cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.
- Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables and the TV power cord to minimize
interference.
- Make sure that the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate (“snow free”)
signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
- Do not operate high-power appliances or tools when you are watching TV.
By the advanced technology of SAMLEX, L.I.T greatly reduces the possibility of
interference with TV signals and audios.
