5.2Powering a 12V DC Device:
The Instant Power™ is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or camping trips. Estimated usage time is listed in the chart below.
Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the 12V DC accessory outlet.
1.Ensure the battery clips are securely clipped on the storage holders.
2.Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the right side of the Instant Power™.
3.Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on (if required).
4.If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal circuit breaker of the Instant Power™ will trip and disconnect the power to the device. Disconnect the 12V DC device. The breaker will automatically reset after an overload occurs.
The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the 12V DC device.
