5.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Connect the inverter (see “CONNECTING INVERTER CABLES” section).
2.Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
3.Plug the device into the inverter AC outlet.
4.Switch the inverter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5.Turn the device on.
6.To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and overloading the inverter. The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverter’s Continuous Operation wattage rate.
If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
NOTE: You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without significantly decreasing the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
Using the USB Port
The USB port provides 5V DC.
1.Plug the device into the USB port.
2.Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter on. (The internal speaker will make a brief “beep”. This is normal.)
3.Turn the USB device on.
4.Reverse these steps when finished using the USB port.
Using the inverter to operate a TV or audio device:
The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite this, some interference may occur with your television picture, especially with weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception.
1.Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 120V AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shielded and of good quality.
