Important Information on Battery Chargers

Using your inverter to re c h a rge units designed to charge such
p o rtable equipment as power tools, flashlights, video cameras
and laptop computers may cause damage to the inverter
or the charging unit.

Although  we advise  against it,  if  you attempt  to re c h a rge  a
c h a rging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit
for approximately 10 minutes.  If the charging unit becomes
unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.

Don’t Blow A Fuse.

The  WHISTLER 150  is  equipped  with a 20  amp  spade  type
fuse; the WHISTLER 350 with a 35 amp, spade type fuse.  Wi t h
reasonable  care,  it  should  not  be  necessary  to  replace  the
fuse in your invert e r.

Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short
c i rcuit within the appliance or equipment being operated.  If
the fuse does blow, turn off and disconnect the appliance
or  equipment  from  the  inverter  immediately,  repair  the
related  problem  and  replace  the  fuse  in  accordance  with
the  following  instructions:  The  fuse  compartment  is  easily
accessed  at  the  back  of  the  unit  underneath  the  "lift  up"
c o v e r.

OPERATION

Note:

It is normal for the PP150AC and PP350AC audible
alarm to make a momentary "chirp" when you plug
the adapter into the cigarette lighter socket or when
you turn on the appliance or equipment.  However, if
the alarm sounds for an extended period, turn the
appliance or equipment off immediately.  This alarm
indicates that the input from the battery has dropped
below 10.5 volts.  Do not attempt to operate the
inverter until the battery has been recharged.

(For further information on this audible alarm feature,
see "Automatic Shut Down Safety Features.")

The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the
appliance  or  equipment    being  operated  will  not
s i gnificantly decrease the power being generated by
the inverter.  For best operating results, the extension
cord should be no more than 50 feet long.

Check frequently to ensure that the input and output
connections are secure.  Loose connections may cause
damage to the inverter or battery or may generate
excessive heat.
