WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Never immerse the converter in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the converter' s outlets.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:
• Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
• Do not expose to extreme heat or flames.
• If the vehicle accessory outlet fuse opens (blows) when plugging in this converter, do not use this converter with
this vehicle accessory outlet:
Do not repeatedly replace the fuse.
Do not replace the vehicle accessory outlet fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.
Never attempt to patch the fuse with tin foil or wire.
Any of these actions may cause serious electrical damage and/or a fire.
This converter is rated to draw 8 amperes from a 13.8V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the engine system in your
vehicle can supply sufficient energy to the converter without causing the vehicle accessory outlet fuse to open.
The fuse must be rated higher than 10 amps. Information on the vehicle accessory fuse ratings are typically found
in the vehicle operator' s manual.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Disconnect appliance plug from converter outlet before working on the appliance.
• Do not attempt to connect or set up the converter or its components while operating your vehicle. Not paying
attention to the road may result in a serious accident.
• Always use the converter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not block ventilation slots.
• Always turn the converter off by disconnecting it from the power source when not in use.
• Make sure the nominal powering voltage is 12 volts DC.
• Keep in mind that this converter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that produce heat, such
as hair dryers, microwave ovens and toasters.
• DO NOT OPEN THE CONVERTER — there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the converter will void
manufacturer' s warranty.
• Do not use this converter with medical devices. It is not tested for medical applications.
• Install and operate converter only as described in this Instruction Manual.
• Check converter periodically for wear and tear. Return to manufacturer for replacement of worn or defective parts
immediately.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Follow these instructions and those
published by the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use with this converter. Review cautionary
markings on these products.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new converter. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the
instructions carefully before using your new converter.
This power converter is configured to supply continuous power in the form of a 120 volt AC outlet and a 5 volt USB
charging port to run most household or electronic appliances.
HOW THIS CONVERTER WORKS
This converter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to 120
volts AC (alternating current) household power. It converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC
conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the converter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is a
MOSFET bridge stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC.
Power Converter Output Waveform
The AC output waveform of this converter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has
characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads,
including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE DEVICES
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These
devices may damage the converter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it
produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this converter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate
charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The converter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES
The converter monitors the following conditions:
Input Voltage Too Low: This condition is not harmful to the converter, but could damage the power source, so
the converter will automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10.5 ± 0.3 volts DC.
Input Voltage Too High: The converter will automatically shut down when DC input voltage exceeds 16.2 ± 0.3
volts, as this can harm the unit.
Thermal Shutdown Protection: The converter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes
overheated.
Overload/Short Circuit Protection: The converter will automatically shut down when an overload or short
circuit occurs.
Note:
The Power/Fault LED Indicator will light red to indicate a input voltage too low or input voltage too high fault condition
OR flash red and blue to indicate a thermal, overload or short circuit fault condition before automatic shutdown occurs.
