Inverter by Wagan Tech

.
With normal care and proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service. It
is important to read, understand, and comply with these instructions before using
this inverter. Keep this User’s Manual for future reference.
This inverter is powered from a 12 volt DC source and provides 120 volts AC 60
Hz through two North American standard outlets to AC appliances up to 120
watts. The AC waveform is a modified sine wave (MSW), which approximates
the sine wave of household electrical service. An attached DC power cord
connects to a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket for easy operation.
WARNINGS
Most vehicle cigarette lighter sockets are fused at 10A or 15A. When using a
vehicle cigarette lighter socket, do not exceed 120W or 180W respectively.
Doing so will blow the vehicle cigarette socket fuse.
• Keep the inverter away from children.
• Electrical shock hazard: Don’t operate the inverter with wet hands!
• This device produces a voltage similar to wall outlets at home and should be
treated with the same caution.
• If you use a battery charger to recharge your battery, be sure to disconnect
the inverter first. Failure to disconnect the inverter prior to connecting a
charger may result in an input voltage spike that can damage the inverter.
• Powering this inverter with voltage greater than 15V DC can damage the
inverter and void the warranty.
• Do not use an extension cord between the DC power source and the DC
input of the inverter. An extension cord on the DC input can create a voltage
drop that can reduce efficiency and output.
• Do not open the casing of the inverter. There are no serviceable parts inside.
• Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance cord get wet. Don’t
operate this inverter in or around water. Water can damage the inverter.
Water damage is not covered under warranty.
