3.Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and that you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the television.
4.Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
5.Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible and twist them together with about 2 to 3 twists per foot. This minimizes radiated interference from the cables.
MAINTENANCE
HINTS
Adding Extension Cord
If you need extension cord, we recommend the use of an extension cord between the AC output of inverter and AC appliances. You may use up to 100 ft. of high quality extension cord. A long cord will result in reduced output power.
Buzz in audio system
Some stereo systems and “boom boxes” will emit a buzzing noise from their loudspeakers when operated from the power inverter because the power supply in the device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the power inverter. The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply.
Operating a TV
Picture tubes have a degaussing coil that uses a high initial surge of power to light up the screen from a “cold start”. If the TV does not start up on the first try, switch ON the TV every 2 - 3 seconds until the screen comes on. Sometimes, it may take
Television interference
Operating of the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some channels. If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the problem.
1.Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back of the power inverter is solidly connected to the ground system of your vehicles.
2.Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching television.
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly.
DESCRIPTION
