Reason

Solution

Inverter is too hot (thermal shut down mode) Allow inverter to cool

Check for adequate ventilation.
Reduce the load on the inverter to rated

continuous power output

Unit may be defective

See warranty and call customer service

PROBLEM: TV interference

Reason

Solution

Electrical interference from the inverter

Add a ferrite data line filter on to the TV

power cord

PROBLEM: Low battery alarm on all the time

Reason

Solution

Input voltage below 10.5 volts

Keep input voltage above 10.5 volts to

maintain regulation

Poor or weak battery condition

Recharge or replace battery

Inadequate power being delivered to the

inverter or excessive voltage drop

Use lower gauge wire
Keep wire length as short as possible

PROBLEM: TV does not work

Reason

Solution

TV does not turn on

Contact TV manufacture to see if the TV is

compatible with a modified sine wave
