notes:
Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged into the inverter does not exceed 500 watts continuous.
This inverter’s USB socket does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-
powered device.
5. To turn the inverter off, switch off the on/off button and disconnect it from the 12 volt DC power source.
iMPORtAnt:
Remember to disconnect the inverter from any power source when it is not in use.
connection to load
The power inverter is equipped with a standard mains socket. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate
into the mains socket. Make sure that the load requirement of your equipment does not exceed 100 or 500 watts
(depending on the type of dc connection).
The appliance is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner
described above. Do not connect the inverter to household ac wiring. Do not connect the inverter to any ac load circuit
in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the dc (battery) source.
WARning:
Do not connect to ac wiring.
HInts for oPtIMuM use
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat and/or solid surface. The inverter should only be used
in locations that meet the following criteria:
DRY –
Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter.
cOOl –
The surrounding air temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C. Keep the inverter away from direct
sunlight, when possible.
WEll VEntilAtED –
Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation. Do not place items
on or over the inverter during operation. The inverter will shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot. Refer to the
Protective features section of this instruction manual for more information.
sAFE –
Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any location that may accumulate flammable fumes or
gases. This is an electrical appliance that can briefly spark when electrical connections are made or broken.

common audio/visual Problems
Buzzing sound in Audio systems
Some inexpensive stereo systems make a buzzing sound when operated from an inverter because the power supply in
the electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound
system that has a higher quality power supply.
television interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with television signals. However, in some instances, interference may
still occur, particularly where television signals are weak. Try the following corrective measures:
•
Place the inverter as far as possible from the television, the aerial or cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.
•
Readjust the orientation of the inverter, the aerial or cables and the television power cord to minimize interference.
•
Make sure the aerial or cable feeding the television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and that high quality,
shielded aerial or cable is used.
•
Do not use the inverter to operate high-power appliances or tools at the same time you are using it to operate the television.
common Power output Problems
If the inverter on/off switch has been pressed to turn the unit on, but there is no ac or USB power output and the power/
fault LED is not lit:
•
Press the on/off switch to turn the unit off.
•
Check the dc connections. Tighten if necessary.
•
Check the fuse in the dc vehicle power cord plug. Change if necessary.
•
Press the on/off switch again to turn the unit back on.
If the inverter on/off switch has been pressed to turn the unit on, but there is no ac or USB power output and the power/
fault LED flashes, then one of the following conditions has occurred:
•
Low battery voltage.
•
Over voltage.
•
Short circuit.
•
Overload.
•
Over temperature.
Press the on/off switch to turn the inverter off, correct the fault and then press the on/off switch again to turn the
inverter back on.
