FEATURES

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before operating the inverter, make sure the location meets the following conditions.

Condition	Instruction
Dry	DO NOT drop or pour any liquid on the inverter.
Cool	Keep the inverter from direct sunlight. Maintain the ambient air temperature between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
Safe	DO NOT operate in the same compartment as stored flammable liquids and gasoline.
Clean	DO NOT operate the inverter in an area that is prone to dirt, dust or debris.
Ventilated	Leave at least 2" (5cm) clearance around the inverter for air flow. Make sure the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
Close to Battery	DO NOT use an excessively longer DC cable, as it increases wire resistance and reduces input power.
Protected from battery gases	DO NOT operate where it will be exposed to battery gases. Prolonged exposure can damage the inverter.

WARNING

The equipment or appliance's switch should be in the "OFF" position prior to plugging into the AC receptacle of the inverter.
Before connecting, make sure the cables will be connected correctly. If the poles of the battery are reversely connected, it will damage the inverter and the warranty does not cover this damage.
DO NOT perform the cable connection if the environment has any flammable fumes.
Always ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection. If not, explosion or fire may occur.
Always make sure the connection is tight. Loose connections may cause excessive voltage drop, thereby leading to overheating and melting of cable insulation.

USING THE INVERTER WITH BATTERY CABLES

Make sure the power switch on the inverter is OFF.
Connect the red positive ( +) end of the battery clip to the red positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Connect the red positive(+) end of the ring terminal to the red positive(+) terminal of the inverter.
Connect the black negative (-) end of the ring terminal to the black negative(-) terminal of the inverter.
Connect the black negative (-) end of the battery clip to the black negative(-) terminal of the battery.
Turn on the power switch of the inverter and plug in your appliance and switch them on one at a time with the bigger load first.
When disconnecting the inverter from the battery, make sure the inverter is turned OFF.

CAUTION! AVOID OVER-DISCHARGING THE BATTERY
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too low. Remember to recharge attached battery immediately after use. As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall. When the inverter senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to the range of 10.7-11.3V DC, the audible alarm sounds. If the audible alarm is ignored, the inverter will automatically shut down when the voltage drops to the range of 10.2-10.BV DC, preventing the battery from being over-discharged. Most vehicle batteries are not designed for constant "deep discharge" . Constantly operating the inverter 1tom a vehicle battery until the low voltage shutdown will reduce the life of the battery. If you are operating electrical products for long periods of time, consider connecting the inverter to a separate, deep discharge battery.

CAUTION: Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found in the vehicle operator's manual.
Formulas

Volt (V) X Amp (A) = Watt (W)
Watt (W) / Volt (V) = Amp (A)
Example: 300W / 12V = 25A

USING THE INVERTER WITH PERMANENT BATTERY CONNECTIONS
The inverter may optionally be permanently wired to a 12 volt DC power source, such as one or more vehicle batteries or deep cycle marine batteries. Using more than one battery will not increase the AC watts available, because it is limited to the rated watts of the inverter, but additional batteries will allow more operating time between charges. CAUTION: The DC power source must be a well-regulated DC power supply as typically found in vehicle and deep-cycle marine batteries. Permanent installation should be performed by a qualified electrical installer. Violation of these instructions may result in unsafe operation and/or equipment failure. Damage to the inverter as a result of improper installation voids the warranty.
PARALLEL AND SERIES BATTERY CONFIGURATION

BATTERY OPERATING TIME

Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the particular AC load. With a typical vehicle battery load, an operating time of 1 hour or more can be expected. When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too low. The inverter can operate while the engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the inverter's low voltage shutdown feature. Since the power inverter draws less than 0.65A with it turned on and no AC product connected, it has minimal impact on battery operating times.

Approximate Operating Times for AC Power Load and Battery Capacity

Note: Ah (Amp-hours) is the electrical energy a battery can deliver. A small car's battery is typically about 45 amp-hours. Larger autos will usually have batteries with higher amp-hours.

Interference with Electronic Equipment
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with household AC power. Below is information concerning two possible exceptions:

Buzzing in Audio Systems and Radios
Some stereo systems and AM-FM radios have inadequate internal power supply filtering and "buzz" slightly when powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio product with a higher quality filter.
Television Interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals. However, when weak, TV signals interference may be visible in the form of lines scrolling across the screen. The following should minimize or eliminate the problem:
Increase the distance between the inverter and the TV antenna and cables.
- Adjust the orientation of the inverter, television, antenna and cables.
- Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use shielded antenna cable where possible.
