CAUTION:

DO NOT connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor connected to ground.

DO NOT expose the RPPD100D to air temperatures in excess of 104°F. DO NOT use the RPPD100D on the following items:

1.Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors and nightlights that can be plugged directly into an AC outlet to recharge.

2.Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These chargers will have a “Warning Label” indicating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

RPPD100D Waveform Output:

The output waveform of your RPPD100D is referred to as “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” Some very sensitive electronic equipment and some medical equipment (listed below) may not operate satisfactorily on “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the pure sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads (including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers and motors).

The problems described above, do not occur with most battery-operated equipment. The vast majority of these items use a separate charger or transformer that plugs into the AC outlet and produces a low voltage output. If the label on your adapter states that it produces a low voltage (AC or DC) output (30 volts or less) then the RPPD100D will operate the item safely. Some of the following items may not operate properly on a “square wave” inverter. If you have any questions, contact the device’s manufacturer.

Laser printers, photocopiers, magneto-optical hard drives.

Certain laptop computers.

Some battery chargers for cordless tools and razors.

Digital clocks with radios.

INSTALLATION:

Insert plug into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or accessory power port.

NOTE: Make sure the cigarette lighter, or power port socket is clean and provides a tight fit for the plug. For safety, unplug the RPPD100D when not in use.
