Thank you for purchasing the XPower Mobile Plug 75 inverter. The Mobile Plug converts 12
volt DC battery power from your vehicle into standard 120 VAC household electricity,
allowing you to power most notebook computers, your cell phone charger, camcorder,
personal notebook and other household products drawing 60 watts or less of continuous AC
power.

WARNING! Shock hazard
The Mobile Power Inverter generates the same AC
power as a normal household wall outlet.
•
Do not open (no user-serviceable parts inside)
•
Do not insert foreign objects into the outlet
•
Do not expose to water, rain, or snow
•
Do not connect to power utility AC distribution wiring.
•
Failure to follow the above may result in personal injury or damage to the inverter.
WARNING! Heated surface
The inverter housing may become uncomfortably
warm, reaching 65°C (150°F) under extended high power operation. During operation, keep
the inverter from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.

equipment:
• Small battery-operated products such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable
shavers, and nightlights that are plugged into an AC receptacle to recharge
• Certain battery chargers for battery packs used with power tools
Operation
1.
Plug the inverter into your vehicle’s lighter socket. If the socket is too large, adjust the negative
connectors using the slide control to ensure a snug fit. The (green) LED will light up.
2.
Plug an AC product into the three-prong AC receptacle and turn it on. Ensure your product draws
60 watts or less of continuous AC power. To avoid discharging the battery, always remove the
inverter from the lighter socket when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Problem: AC product does not operate; green LED is not illuminated
Problem: Buzzing sound in audio systems
Inexpensive stereo systems have an inadequate internal power supply filtering which causes a
buzzing sound. A system with a high quality filter is the only solution.
Certified to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 107
Conforms to UL Std. UL-458
Probable cause
Suggested remedy
AC product connected is rated at more than
60 watts; overload shutdown occurs
Use product with a power rating of less
than 60 watts
High starting surge has caused overload
shutdown even though AC product
connected is rated at less than 60 watts
Product exceeds inverter’s surge
capability. Use a product with starting
surge power of less than 150 watts.
Lighter socket or 12 volt outlet may require
ignition to be switched on
Turn ignition key to accessory position
Poor contact with lighter socket or 12 volt
outlet
Press inverter firmly into the lighter
socket. Make sure socket is clean.
Battery is discharged
Recharge battery
Fuse blown by heavy load
Replace the 8 A/250 V slow blow fuse
by unscrewing the fitting in the positive
connector.
