Appliance Cautions

WARNINGS: INVERTER OUTPUT

This is a heavy-duty device that produces voltages similar to commercial AC power.

•Danger of shock or electrocution - treat inverter output the same as commercial AC power.

•Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical device that can briefly spark when electrical connections are made or broken.

•Do not allow water or other liquids to contact the inverter.

•Do not use appliances with damaged or wet cords.

CAUTIONS: INVERTER OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

•Surrounding air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C – ideally between 15°C and 25°C (60 - 80°F).

•Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight if at all possible.

•Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation. The unit will shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot. Restart the inverter after it cools.

•This Energizer® inverter will only operate from a 12V power source. Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source.

•Do not reverse DC input polarity – this will void the warranty.

•Do NOT plug in battery chargers for cordless power tools if the charger carries a warning that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

•Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries can be damaged if powered by this inverter. Two types of appliances are susceptible to damage: Small, battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, cordless razors and toothbrushes that plug directly into an AC receptacle.

•Do NOT use this inverter with the above two types of equipment.

•The majority of portable appliances do not have this problem. Most portable appliances use separate transformers or chargers that plug into AC receptacles to supply a low-voltage DC or AC output to the
