OPERATION
Note:
•It is normal for the PP150AC and PP350AC audible alarm to make a momentary "chirp" when you plug the adapter into the cigarette lighter socket or when you turn on the appliance or equipment. However, if the alarm sounds for an extended period, turn the appliance or equipment off immediately. This alarm indicates that the input from the battery has dropped below 10.5 volts. Do not attempt to operate the inverter until the battery has been recharged.
(For further information on this audible alarm feature, see "Automatic Shut Down Safety Features.")
•The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being operated will not significantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long.
•Check frequently to ensure that the input and output connections are secure. Loose connections may cause damage to the inverter or battery or may generate excessive heat.
OPERATION
Important Information on Battery Chargers
Using your inverter to recharge units designed to charge such portable equipment as power tools, flashlights, video cameras and laptop computers may cause damage to the inverter or the charging unit.
Although we advise against it, if you attempt to recharge a charging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit for approximately 10 minutes. If the charging unit becomes unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
Don’t Blow A Fuse.
The WHISTLER 150 is equipped with a 20 amp spade type fuse; the WHISTLER 350 with a 35 amp, spade type fuse. With reasonable care, it should not be necessary to replace the fuse in your inverter.
Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the appliance or equipment being operated. If the fuse does blow, turn off and disconnect the appliance or equipment from the inverter immediately, repair the related problem and replace the fuse in accordance with the following instructions: The fuse compartment is easily accessed at the back of the unit underneath the "lift up" cover.
