5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the inverter (see Connecting Inverter Cables section).
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter on. (The internal
speaker will make a brief "beep". This is normal.)
3. The digital display turns on.
4. Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
5. Plug the device into the inverter AC outlet.
6. Turn the inverter on. The Watts LED will glow and the digital display will show O.
7. Turn the device on. The display will now show the total wattage used by the
device. To change the digital display, press the ON/OFF switch.
8. To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
9. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter off.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time to avoid a
power surge and overloading the inverter. The surge load of each device should not
exceed the inverter's Continuous Operation wattage rate.
CAUTION: If there is a short circuit or power surge in the device, will display and
the alarm will sound. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the alarm. If the displays
after several attempts, there is a short circuit or the device requires more "starting" or
"peak" load than the inverter is capable of providing.
USING THE USB PORT
The USB port provides up to 2.0A at 5V DC.
1. Plug the device into the USB port.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter on. (The internal
speaker will make a brief "beep". This is normal.)
3. Turn the USB device on.
4. Reverse these steps when finished using the USB port.
USING THE INVERTER TO OPERATE A TV OR AUDIO DEVICE:
The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite this, some
interference may occur with your television picture, especially with weak signals. Below
are some suggestions to try and improve reception.
1. Try altering the position of the inverter, antenna cables, and television power
cord. Add an extension cord from the inverter to the TV, to isolate its power
cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt power source.
2. Try coiling the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12
volt power source to the inverter.
