2.Make sure the Instant Power™ is not close to any potential source of flammable fumes or clothing.

3.Keep the Instant Power™ dry.

4.DO NOT allow the Instant Power™ to come into contact with rain or moisture.

5.DO NOT operate the Instant Power™ if you, the Instant Power™, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact with any power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death.

6.Do not place the Instant Power™ on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat.

7.Do not place the Instant Power™ in direct sunlight. The ideal air temperature for operation is between 50° and 80°F.

8.Do not use the inverter near an open engine compartment where fumes may accumulate.

9.Do not modify the AC receptacles in any way.

10.10Using the Inverter

It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The Instant Power™ must be used with devices drawing 200 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, use only devices that draw less than 1.7 Amps of AC current.

Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting or peak power”). The Instant Power™ can supply a momentary surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than the maximum 200 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.

Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the inverter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the product.

Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.

Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or device.

In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment with the 200-watt range.

If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverter’s Continuous Operation wattage rate.

If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.

You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without significantly decreasing the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be 16 AWG (1.31 mm2) or larger and no longer than 50 feet.

This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore, we do not recommend you use it to power the following devices:

1.Switch Mode Power Supplies

2.Linear Power Supplies

3.Class 2 Transformers

4.Line Filter Capacitors

5.Shaded Pole Motors

6.Fan Motors

7.Microwave Ovens

8.Fluorescent and High Intensity Lamps (with a ballast)

9.Transformerless Battery Chargers

Doing so may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.
