Mobile Power Inverter,
Model 161350 (120 V) or Model 162890 (220 V).
This handy device converts 12 V power into 120 or 220 V AC with up to
150 Watts of continuous power (maximum 175 Watts) to start up, operate
and charge portable electronics and light-duty, non-vital devices, tools
and appliances. A single receptacle and USB port can help supply power
for notebook computers, digital cameras and music players, mobile phones
and more, and built-in surge protection routes unsafe voltage to an internal
25 A fuse to guard against vehicle power fluctuations.
safety Precautions
The Mobile Power Inverter generates the same AC power as a normal
household wall outlet. Failure to follow the precautions below may result
in personal injury or damage to the inverter.
• Do not open the device (there are 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.
WARNING:
The inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm,
reaching as high as 65˚C (150˚F) under extended high-power operation
at high ambient (car interior) temperatures. During operation, keep the
inverter away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.
WARNING:
As a driver,
never
handle the device while your vehicle is in
motion, as your focus on the inverter creates a driving hazard!
CAUTION:
For proper battery installation and operation, refer to the
source battery (auto or stand-alone) manufacturer’s safety instructions.
The ungrounded design means this inverter has a floating neutral.
• Do not plug in any device that has a neutral conductor bonded to an
external ground.
• Do not operate in ambient temperatures above 40˚C (104˚F).
• The inverter output is non-sinusoidal. Do not use it with the following
items without first consulting the manual for the device in question.
– Small battery-operated products (rechargeable flashlights, some
rechargeable shavers, nightlights recharging in an AC receptacle).
– Certain battery chargers for battery packs used with power tools.
