c. Represents talks time available from 10 recharge cycles.

To operate 12 V DC appliance:

1. Open the protective cover on he left side of the XPower Powerpack.

2. Plug the 12 V DC appliance into the DC power socket on the left side of the unit, and turn the 12 V DC appliance on (if requ red).

If the 12 V DC appliance dr ws more than 12 A (or has a short-circuit defect), the internal circuit breaker of the XPower Powerpack shuts off the power to the 12 V DC appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12 V DC appliance, and the internal circuit breaker automatically resets after a few seconds.

3. Fully recharge the XPower Powerpack as soon as possible after each use.

As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the internal battery, extended operation of a 12 V DC appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See Caution for “Equipment damage” on page 3–8.
