Battery Clip Adapter Cord – Up to 400 Watts Output

1.  Connect just the red spade terminal of the supplied DC Battery Clip Adapter 

Cord to the red stud terminal (+) on the rear of the inverter. 

2.  Connect the two battery clips to the battery. 

Be sure to connect the clips to the correct polarity battery terminals. Reverse 

polarity connection will blow the fuse in the inverter and can permanently 

damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will void the 

warranty.

3.  Connect the Negative black (−) spade connector to the stud connector 

on the rear of the inverter. There may be a momentary spark and the low 

voltage buzzer may briefly sound.

4.  Plug the AC appliance cord into the inverter’s AC receptacle, and/or your 

USB appliance into the USB Power Port.

5.  Place the ON/OFF power switch in the ON position. The green LED should 

turn on, indicating the inverter is powered and operating normally.

6.  While the Inverter is not in use, place the inverter’s ON/OFF Power Switch to 

the OFF position.

Operating Issues: Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.

Although all inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some 

interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak 

signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception.

•  Make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal 

operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 110/120V AC 

wall outlet). Also ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded and of 

good quality.

•  Sometimes vehicle alternators produce some electrical noise. There are filters 

available to mount on the alternator to reduce noise.

•  Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power 

cord.

•  Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt 

power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television 
set.
