Thank you for purchasing the Slim Line 700 Watt USB Inverter. With minimal
care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Please read
and understand all operating instructions carefully before use.
Your 700 Watt USB Power Inverter converts 12V DC battery power to 115V
AC household electrical power. You use the inverter in your vehicle to operate
many types of appliances that use AC or USB power, such as TVs, VCRs,
portable computers, power tools and lights for emergency or camping use.
The inverter works with your vehicle’s engine turned on or off (accessory mode).
It provides a continuous output of up to 700 Watts.
