Operating DC Appliances
Low-Battery Alarm
While in use, when the battery reaches 11 Vdc, the
Low-Battery Alarm will sound and display an error code
indicating that battery is low and the unit is about to be
shutdown to prevent battery damage.
When the battery reaches 10.5 Vdc, the unit will
automatically disconnect power to the DC socket.
If the alarm sounds, disconnect any loads that may be in use
and recharge the unit as soon as possible.
Overload Protection
The internal thermal protector will trip if the 12 Vdc
appliance draws more than 12 A (or has a short-circuit
defect).
If this occurs, unplug the 12 Vdc appliance. The internal
thermal protector automatically resets after a few seconds.
