3. Save your purchase receipt to use as proof-of-purchase. This is required if the
inverter/charger should need warranty service.
4. Save the original shipping carton and packing materials. If the inverter/

carton. This is also a good way to protect the inverter/charger if it ever needs
to be moved.
