not use more than 80 watts during continuous operation, otherwise the Inverter may overload.
Note: This unit has an automatic shut off feature if output is over 125 watts or if input is under 10.5VDC.
Caution: Some rechargeable appliances may damage the Power Inverter or the appliance. When first using a rechargeable device, check the inverter’s temperature for the first 10 minutes. If it becomes abnormally hot, do not use this device with the Inverter.
Caution: It is recommended that the ve- hicle be running when you first con- nect the Power Inverter. Thereafter the engine can be on or off. If you run the Power Inverter with the engine off it is recommended that you start and run the engine every hour for at least 10 minutes to recharge the bat- tery. Doing this will help prevent any unexpected shutdown of the equip- ment. This will also help ensure that there will be enough battery power to start the vehicle. Due to the risk of carbon monoxide inhalation, do not run the vehicle’s engine within an enclosed area.
You should not use your car battery to power the Inverter for extended pe- riods of time with appliances requir- ing high continuous load levels. The battery may become drained to the point that it will not be able to start your car.
Note: Deep cycle (marine and RV) bat- teries can be charged more times than a car battery, and are a better choice for repeated use of the Power Inverter.
Do not discharge your car battery more than 10% of its total capacity, and deep cycle batteries more than a 50% discharged state.
