CAUTION: Equipment Damage

This equipment produces a modified sine wave output. Equipment damage may occur if the rechargeable appliance is not designed to use modified sine wave output. If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the modified sine wave, contact the equipment manufacturer.

When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for

10 minutes to ensure it does not become abnormally hot. Excessive heat will indicate that it is incompatible with the inverter.

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the PowerHub. Do not use the following with the PowerHub:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
