vehicle battery and a 200-watt load, an operating time of 2 or 3 hours or more
can be expected.
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommended to
start the vehicle every one hour or two to recharge the battery before its
capacity drops too low. The inverter can operate while the engine is running,
but the normal voltage drop that occurs during starting of the engine may trigger
the inverter’s low voltage shutdown feature.
Because the power inverter draws less than 0.35A with its turning on and with
no AC product connected, it has minimal impact on battery operating times.
Interference with Electronic Equipment
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with
household AC power. Below is the information concerning two possible
exceptions.
Buzzing and in audio systems and radios
Some stereo systems and AM-FM radios have inadequate internal power
supply filtering and “buzz” slightly when powered by the inverter. Generally, the
only solution is an audio product with a higher quality filter.
Television interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals. However,
with weak TV signals interference may be visible in the form of lines scrolling
across the screen. The following should minimize or eliminate the problem:
Increase the distance between the inverter and the TV, antenna and cables.
Adjust the orientation of the inverter television, antenna and cables.
Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use shielded
antenna cable where possible.
