3.Try coiling the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12-volt power source to the inverter.

4.Affix one or several “Ferrite Data Line Filters” to the television power cord.

Ferrite Data Line Filters can be purchased at most electronic supply stores.

NOTE: You may hear a “buzzing” sound being emitted from inexpensive sound systems when operated with the inverter. This is due to ineffective filters in the sound system’s power supply. Unfortunately, this problem can only be resolved by purchasing a sound system with a higher quality power supply or higher quality filter.

6.POWER SOURCE

Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for approximately 3 hours when the engine is off. The actual length of time the inverter will function depends on the age and condition of the battery and the power demand being placed by the device being operated with the inverter.

If you decide to use the inverter while the engine is off, we recommend you turn OFF the device plugged into the inverter before starting the engine. To maintain battery power, start the engine every 2 to 3 hours and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.

Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turning over the engine, it may briefly cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. While the inverter draws very low amperage when not in use, it should be unplugged to avoid battery drain.

7.LED DISPLAY

The LED display identifies the current status of the inverter.

VOLTS DC: The voltage of the vehicle’s battery, Portable Power jump starter or DC power source.

VOLTS AC: The voltage supplied to the device through the AC receptacle.

WATTS: The power or wattage supplied to the device plugged into the inverter.

An audio alarm will sound when any of the following codes display. To stop the alarm, press the ON/OFF switch:

• – The inverter is not functional. See warranty and call Customer Service 1-800-621-5485 (Hours: 7:00 am to 5:00 pm CST).

• – The vehicle’s battery voltage is more than 15.5-volts. The inverter will automatically restart after the voltage drops below 15.0-volts.

PID-410 specifications

The Schumacher PID-410 is a versatile and powerful battery charger and maintainer designed to meet the needs of various consumers, from automotive enthusiasts to casual users. This model stands out in the market for its advanced features and user-friendly design.

One of the main features of the PID-410 is its microprocessor-controlled system, which ensures precise charging and prevents overcharging, thereby prolonging battery life. This intelligent control technology continuously monitors the battery's status and adjusts the charging process accordingly, ensuring optimal performance. The unit is suitable for a wide range of battery types, including standard lead-acid, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), and gel batteries.

The PID-410 has a multi-stage charging process, which includes bulk, absorption, and float phases. This allows for rapid initial charging while gradually transitioning to a maintenance mode that keeps the battery topped off without causing damage. The ability to recover deeply discharged batteries also sets the PID-410 apart from many conventional chargers, making it an ideal choice for users with older or neglected batteries.

Safety is a paramount concern with the Schumacher PID-410, and it includes several built-in safety features. Reverse polarity protection ensures the charger does not work if the clamps are connected incorrectly, preventing shorts and potential hazards. Additionally, the unit is equipped with short circuit protection and over-temperature protection, making it a reliable option for both novice and experienced users.

Portability is another significant advantage of the PID-410. Its compact design and lightweight construction make it easy to transport and store, allowing users to take it wherever needed. The easy-to-read LED indicators simplify monitoring the charging status, while its built-in handle enhances convenience.

The Schumacher PID-410 is not just a charger; it also serves as a battery maintainer. This feature means that you can connect it to your battery for extended periods without fear of overcharging. It is perfect for seasonal vehicles, like motorcycles, RVs, or classic cars, ensuring that they remain in good condition during off-seasons.

In conclusion, the Schumacher PID-410 embodies innovative technology, safety features, and user-centric design. Whether you are looking to charge a battery quickly or maintain its health over time, the PID-410 proves to be a reliable choice for all your battery maintenance needs.
