IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:

•This equipment employs components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. DO NOT install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials.

•Use this unit in properly ventilated areas ONLY. Do not block ventilation slots.

•DO NOT use the inverter near flammable materials or in locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases.

•Do not open — there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

•Do not insert foreign objects into the outlets.

•Do not expose the unit to flammables, water, rain or snow.

•This inverter has not been tested for use with medical devices.

CAUTIONS

•ALWAYS turn OFF the inverter by disconnecting it from the DC accessory outlet when not in use.

•NEVER IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER.

•DO NOT expose to extreme heat or flames.

•DO NOT replace the 12 Volt DC Adapter fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.

•Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that the unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.

•Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or defective parts immediately.

EXTENSION CORD SAFETY

1.To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting from the 120 Volt AC Charger.

2.Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty.

When choosing an extension cord to use with this unit, make sure it is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

3.Do not attempt to charge the unit if the 120 Volt AC Charger plug is damaged — return the unit to manufacturer for repair.

THIS UNIT IS NOT A TOY AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

WEATHER RADIO SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This product should not be the only source of information for all-hazard, watches and warnings. If severe weather is imminent; do not wait to receive the weather alert warning, take precautionary measures to protect yourself.

WARNING: The Weather Radio in this unit is designed to receive NOAA weather and other emergency alerts as listed on page 10 of this manual and communicate these alerts to you. You may not receive or clearly hear these alerts under any of, but not limited to, the following circumstances:

•Improper setup (Unit not in Alert Mode, or turned on); make sure that the unit is turned on and the Alert LED indicator is lit, (see page 9 for Weather Radio instruction).

•Volume is too low; adjust the volume to an audible level using the Volume Control Knob.

•Loss of AC power and/or the internal batteries are dead. Recharge the unit using the DC charging method on page 6 or using the AC charging method on page 6 following return of AC power. Be sure to occasionally place the unit back on charge to maximize your runtime in the event of AC power failure.

•Lost or poor reception which can be attributed to any of the following:

a)Improper antenna setup. To ensure you get the best available reception extend the built-in antenna and adjust its direction to provide maximum reception.

b)Improper tuner setup. To ensure you are always tuned in to receive the NOAA alerts check the National Weather Service website @ http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrbro.htm for the signal frequency in your area. If you are on the correct frequency and fail to get a signal, check that you have power and/or try placing the radio close to a window.
