IMPORTANT:
This inverter uses a modified
sine waveform, which is not quite the same
as power company electricity. For the
following devices, we strongly recommend
that you use caution and check the device’s
manual to make sure it is compatible with
modified sine waveform.
1.
Switch mode power supplies
2.
Linear power supplies
3.
Class 2 transformers
4.
Line filter capacitors
5.
Shaded pole motors
6.
Fan motors
7.
Microwave ovens
8.
Fluorescent and high-intensity lamps
(with a ballast)
9.
Transformerless battery chargers
Using the inverter with any of these
devices may cause the device to run
warmer or overheat.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your inverter may
result in damage and personal injury. The
inverter output is 110V AC and can shock
or electrocute the same as any ordinary
household AC wall outlet.
NOTE:
The maximum continuous load is
400 watts. Do not use the inverter with a
product that draws more than 400 watts, as
this may cause damage to the inverter and
the product.
