continuous power rating.
Display shows
.
Converter
is too hot.
Cycle the converter power OFF
and ON. If problem persists, use a
larger converter or a smaller device.
Remove the defective device.
Recharge/replace battery.
12 volt battery is low. Recharge/
replace battery. The converter will
automatically shut off after battery
voltage reaches 10.5-volts.
If in a vehicle, repair/replace the
alternator or charging system. Use
a properly sized and rated 12 volt
battery. If the input voltage returns
to 15 volts or less, the converter
will automatically restart.
Cycle the converter power OFF
and ON. If problem persists, use a
larger converter or a smaller device.
Increase the ventilation to the
converter. Move the converter to
a cooler area. Reduce the power
