Operating AC Appliances

Although Jazz PP 300 C can supply momentary surge power greater than 300 watts, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the Jazz PP 300 C and trigger the inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit. See “Troubleshooting Reference” on page 36 for the reset procedure.

Trouble Appliances

Some appliances may be damaged if they are connected to the Jazz PP 300 C. See “Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances” on page vii.

Operating Several Appliances at Once

You can run several AC appliances if the total of all the appliances’ rating (in watts) do not exceed 300 watts. You can run appliances using an AC power bar or DC splitter.

Run time, however, will decrease accordingly with the number of appliances being operated and the AC power being consumed.

Operating an AC Appliance

Before operating your AC appliance, ensure that the battery of the Jazz PP 300 C is fully charged. See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 13 for details.

To operate an AC appliance:

1.Open the protective covering on the right side of the Jazz PP 300 C. Turn the AC Outlet On/Off switch to the On position.

The switch illuminates to indicate AC power is available at the AC Outlet.

2.Plug the AC appliance into the AC Outlet and turn the appliance on. Jazz PP 300 C will operate most devices rated up to 300 watts.

3.Recharge the Jazz PP 300 C as soon as possible after each use.
