Introduction
WARNING Power inverters contain components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the inverter in areas or compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations that require
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install inverter in
Caution: Rechargeable Appliances
Certain chargers for small nickel cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the Cobra® 2500W inverter. Two (2) particular types of equipment are prone to this problem:

Introduction
Cobra® 2500W Output Waveform
Some very sensitive electronic equipment may not operate satisfactory on “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” The output waveform is referred to as “square wave” or “modified sine wave.” It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar
to the 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).
Plug In Directly
Dangerous Voltages
1.Small
2.Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools. These chargers have a WARNING label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
This problem does not occur with the vast majority of battery operated equipment. Most use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into the AC receptacle and produces a low voltage output. If the label on the AC adapter or charger states that it produces a low voltage AC or DC output (less than 30 volts), the inverter will have no problem powering the adapter safely.
