Using The Converter; Important - Battery Extender BE01255 Manual Del Usuario

4. DO NOT allow the unit to come into
contact with rain or moisture.
5. DO NOT operate the unit if you, the
unit, the device being operated or
any other surfaces that may come in
contact with any power source are
wet. Water and many other liquids can
conduct electricity, which may lead to
serious injury or death.
6. Do not place the unit on or near
heating vents, radiators or other
sources of heat.
7. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
The ideal air temperature for operation
is between 50° and 80° F.
8. Do not use the converter near an open
engine compartment where fumes may
accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacle in
any way.

USING THE CONVERTER

It is important to know the continuous
wattage of the device you plan to use with
the converter. The unit must be used with
devices drawing 200 watts or less. If the
wattage is not marked on the device, use
only devices that draw less than 1.7 amps
of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric
motors require additional power to start
(commonly known as the "starting or peak
power"). The unit can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however even devices
rated less than the maximum 200
watts can exceed the converter's surge
capability and cause an automatic
overload shutdown.
Do not use the converter with a product
that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause
damage to the converter and the product.
Make sure the device you are using
is compatible with a modified sine wave
converter.
CAUTION: Always run a test to establish
whether the converter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the
converter is designed to automatically shut
down. This safety feature prevents damaging
the converter while testing devices and
equipment with the 200-watt range.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the
power converter to operate any
type of battery charger, monitor the
temperature of the battery charger for
about 10 minutes. If the battery charger
becomes abnormally warm, disconnect
it from the converter immediately.
You can use an extension cord from
the converter to the device without
significantly decreasing the power being
generated by the converter. For best
operating results, the extension cord
should be 16 AWG (1.31 mm
and no longer than 50 feet.
IMPORTANT: This converter uses a
modified sine waveform, which is not quite
the same as power company electricity.
For the following devices, we strongly
recommend that you use caution and
check the device's manual to make sure it
is compatible with modified sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line filter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Fluorescent and high-intensity lamps
(with a ballast)
8. Transformerless battery chargers
Using the converter with any of these
devices may cause the device to run
warmer or overheat.
POWERING A 110V AC DEVICE
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely
on the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the AC
power outlet on the front panel of the unit.
3. Make sure the 110V AC device to be
operated is turned OFF.
4. Plug the 110V AC device into the
AC power outlet and press the
Converter button.
5. Turn the device on.
6. Charge the unit as soon as possible
after each use.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your converter may
result in damage and personal injury. The
converter output is 110V AC and can shock
or electrocute the same as any ordinary
household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is
200 watts. Do not use the converter with a
product that draws more than 200 watts,
as this may cause damage to the converter
and the product.
