FAQ
Q: The unit has started but the appliance keeps switching off.
A:
Some inductive motors may require 2-6 start-up attempts. If an appliance you have attached to the inverter only runs
for a moment when the power is supplied, switch the power inverter on and off quickly and repeatedly.
Q: Humming in music systems.
A:
The loudspeakers of cheaper stereo systems may hum as they cannot filter the modified sine waves that the power
inverter generates.
Q: Malfunctions when operating a TV.
A:
The power inverter is operating but there may be visible interference, especially if the TV signal is weak. Try one of
the following actions:
•
Position the power inverter as far away as possible from the unit, the aerial and aerial cable.
•
Use good quality aerial cables.
