The sonnenProtect 1300 is an emergency power unit designed to supplement the
sonnenBatterie eco 8.2 or eco 9.43. The sonnenProtect provides power to the con-
nected consumer even if a grid outage occurs. It can only be operated together with
the right storage system from sonnen GmbH. Any other use is considered improper
use.
Improper use poses a risk of death or injury to the user or third parties as well as
damage to the product and other items of value. The following points must therefore
be observed in order to comply with the intended use of the product:
• Only operate the sonnenProtect together with the right storage system.
