wire for longer lengths. The steps outlined for making the connection and the related safety precautions remain unchanged.
7.Turn the inverter rocker switch to the ON (I) position. The LED Indicator Light should glow GREEN confirming that there is power running to the inverter.
8.Turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position. (The GREEN LED Power Indicator light may “blink” briefly and/or the internal audible alarm may make a momentary “chirp”. This is normal).
9.Confirm that the equipment or appliance to be operated is turned off. Plug the equipment or appliance into one of the AC receptacles on the front panel of the the inverter.
10.Turn the inverter to the ON (I) position. Turn on the equipment or appliance.
11.Plug the USB powered device into the inverter’s USB power port.
Note:
•As indicated in Step 7 above, the audible alarm may make a momentary “chirp” when the inverter is turned OFF (O). The same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being connected to or disconnected from the 12 volt power source.
OPERATION
•The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being operated will decrease the power being delievered to the load. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long.
•Check frequently to ensure that the input and output connections are secure. Loose connections may damage the inverter or the power source or may generate excessive heat.
Important Information on Battery Chargers
Using your inverter with battery chargers for power tools, flashlights, video cameras and laptop computers may cause damage to the inverter or the charging unit. Check with the appliance manufacturer for compatibility with modified sine wave inverters if you’re unsure.
Although we advise against it, if you attempt to use a charging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit for approximately 10 minutes. If the charging unit becomes unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
Don’t Blow A Fuse.
This inverter is equipped with an internal spade type fuse(s). With reasonable care, it should not be necessary to replace the fuse(s) in your inverter.
Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the appliance or equipment being operated. If the fuse(s)
