sides of the Solar e Power Case. Ambient temperatures above 25 °C will reduce the Inverter's
ability to cool effectively, thus affecting operating times.
This Inverter produces Modified Sine Wave (MSW) AC. The waveform differences can be seen
below. Both waveforms have the same electrical energy, however some average reading AC
voltmeters can not properly read MSW. Readings on a non-TRUE RMS meter will display up to
30 volts lower voltage than sine wave AC.

CauTion—modiFied Sine wave:
•
Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These devices
are likely to operate properly with this Inverter. Rechargeable devices that have built-
in chargers (see device owner's manual) may not operate properly with this type of
Inverter.
•
Some motorized devices may operate at excessively elevated temperature when used
with this Inverter. During first use with this Inverter, check for excessive motor tempera-
ture. Abnormally elevated temperature of the motor is an indication that they should not
be used with this Inverter.
•
Do not use the following with modified sine wave inverters:
•
Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors and night lights that
can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
•
Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected
chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present
at the battery terminals.
To use the AC Power Inverter:
1. Connect the AC appliance or appliances to either Universal AC Outlet.
2. Turn the Power Inverter ON by positioning the switch to the "|" ON position.
3. When the Inverter Power Indicator LED is green, the Inverter is operating.
4. Check the battery voltage level with the push-button on the Back Panel
5. Turn on one AC appliance and observe the Power Indicator and FAULT LEDs.
•
If the LED remains green, proceed to turn on the second appliance.
•
If the Power Indicator LED continues to remain green, then both appliances are
operating properly.
