OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed your inverter’s
maximum continuous power.
Operation of the 120 Volt AC Outlets
This unit features two 115 volt AC GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protected outlets, that function in the same
way as GFCI outlets you would typically use in your home. GFCI outlets are intended to protect equipment by
interrupting the circuit if current leakage exceeds 5 mA of current within 25 milliseconds.
1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12 volt DC power source as described in this Instruction Manual. Make
sure there is adequate space for proper ventilation of the inverter.
2. Press the Power Pushbutton to turn the unit ON.
3. The Power Inverters Display will will light green, indicating a proper connection. If the Power/Fault LED
Indicator lights red, indicating a fault condition exists, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this Instruction
Manual.
4. Plug the (110/120 volt AC) appliance into one of the Inverter’s three-prong AC outlets and operate normally.
Note:
The Inverter will not operate appliances and equipment that generate heat, such as hair dryers, electric blankets,
microwave ovens and toasters.
Remember to disconnect the inverter from any power source when not in use.
Operation of the USB Charging Port
1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12 volt DC power source as described in this Instruction Manual. Make
sure there is adequate space for proper ventilation of the inverter.
2. Press the Power Pushbutton to turn the unit ON.
3. The display will light up , indicating a proper connection. If the display, displays a fault code, indicating a fault
condition exists, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this Instruction Manual.
4. Plug the USB-powered device into the inverter’s USB Charging Port and operate normally.
Note:
This unit’s USB Charging Port does not support data communication. It only provides 2.1 Amps 5Volts DC power to an
external USB-powered device.
Remember to disconnect the inverter from any power source when not in use.
Notes on Using the Remote Control (sold separately)
The manufacturer offers (as a separate item) a Remote Control specifically designed for this line of inverters. The
inverter On/Off Switch must be in the off position when connecting the Remote Control to the unit, or the Remote
Control will not operate. Once the unit has been turned on using the Remote Control, inverter operation will continue
to be controlled through the Remote Control. Turn the inverter off before disconnecting the Remote Control. For more
information about attaching and using the Remote Control, please refer to the Remote Control Instruction Manual.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Common Audio/Visual Problems
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
“Buzzing” sound in
audio systems
Inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” may emit a buzzing sound from their
speakers when operated from your inverter. This occurs because the power supply in
the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the
inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a higher quality sound system.
