OPERATION
7.Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the shortest practical length of 18 AWG wire. Selection of the grounding point will depend on where you are using the inverter. The ground wire may be connected to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat or to the earth* if you are operating the inverter in a remote location. Before connecting to the ground, make certain that the inverter is turned off.
Operating the inverter without properly grounding it may result in electric shock.
* This ground can’t be the same ground as the AC ground.
8.Confirm that the equipment or appliance to be operated is turned off. Plug the equipment or appliance into one of the AC receptacles on the front panel of the inverter.
9.Turn the inverter to the ON (I) position. Turn on the equipment or appliance.
10.Plug the USB powered device into the inverter’s USB power port.
OPERATION
Note:
•The audible alarm may make a momentary “chirp” when the inverter is turned OFF (O). The same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being connected to or disconnected from the 12 volt power source.
•The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being operated will decrease the power being delivered to the load. 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 damage the inverter, the power source, or may generate excessive heat.
