Unfortunately, this problem can only be
resolved by purchasing a sound system
with a higher quality power supply or
higher quality filter.
USING THE USB PORT(S)
The USB port provides up to 2A at 5V DC.
Model PC-1000 includes one port.
Model PC-1500 includes two ports.

10. POWER SOURCE

Your average automobile battery at full
charge will provide an ample power supply
to the converter when the engine is on.
Keep the car running at all times when
using the converter. The actual length of
time the converter will function depends on
the age and condition of the battery and the
power demand being placed by the device
being operated with the converter.
When possible, recharge your batteries
when they are not more than 50%
discharged. This gives the batteries a
much longer life cycle than recharging
when they are more deeply discharged.

11. LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION

The Green LED lights automatically when
then converter is plugged into a 12 volt
DC power source and is turned on. The
Red LED lights, the alarm sounds and
the converter automatically turns itself off
under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the
vehicle's battery drops to approximately
10.5 volts, the low voltage alarm will
sound. When the voltage goes down
below 10 VDC, the converter shuts off.
Recharge or replace the battery.
2. When the power input from the
vehicle's battery exceeds 16 volts, high
voltage overload protection occurs.

12. IF THE CONVERTER'S FUSE BLOWS

Your power converter is fitted with fuses,
which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A
blown fuse is usually caused by reverse

13. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

13.1 Before each use, ensure that all of the
converter's components are in place and
in good working condition.
13.2 After use and before performing
maintenance, unplug and disconnect
the converter.
13.3 Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe external
surfaces of the converter's case.
1. Plug the device into the USB port.
2. Turn the USB device on.
3. Reverse these steps when finished
using the USB port.
WARNING: The converter draws power,
even when the switch is OFF. To avoid
battery drain, disconnect the converter
when not in use.
The power converter has a battery low
voltage shutdown at 10V±0.5V DC. With
moderate to heavy loads, this will protect
against over-discharging the battery. If the
converter is running only light loads it is
advisable to recharge before the converter
low voltage shutdown point is reached.
IMPORTANT: The converter draws low
amperage from the battery with the main
ON/OFF switch turned on and no load
connected. To prevent battery discharge,
turn the converter off when you are not
using it.
3. The continuous load demand from the
equipment or device being operated
exceeds the continuous load rating of
the converter. Use a higher capacity
converter or lower rated device.
4. The thermal resistor exceeds
80° C (176° F.) Allow the converter to
cool. Do not block the cooling slots or
air flow over and through the converter.
Reduce the load on the converter to
the continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs,
switch the converter's ON/OFF switch to the
OFF (O) position. Check the source of the
problem and correct. Switch the converter's
ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position.
polarity or a short circuit within the device
or equipment being operated.
If a fuse does blow, take the converter to
a qualified technician for repair.
13.4 Servicing does not require opening the
unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts. All servicing should be performed
by qualified service personnel.
13.5 Store inside, in a cool, dry place, out of
the reach of children.
13.6 Recycle or properly dispose of internal
electrical components.
