CAUTION

f Loose connectors may cause overheated wires

and melted insulation.

f Check to make sure you have not reversed the

polarity. Damage due to reversed polarity is not

covered by our warranty.

Connection to load

The Power Inverter is equipped with dual standard three-

prong type outlets. Plug the cord from the equipment you

wish to operate into the AC receptacle(s). Make sure the

combined load requirement of your equipment does not

exceed maximum continuous power.

The Power Inverter is engineered to be connected directly

to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the

manner described above. Do not connect the Power

Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not

connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which

the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to

the NEGATIVE of the DC (battery) source.

Warning! Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.

Rated versus actual current draw of equipment

Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and

audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power

consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power

consumption of the item to be operated is below 400W.

If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply

multiply by the AC volts (B2C: 220V AC / B3: 120V AC) to

determine the wattage.

Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run;

however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as

electric stoves and heaters), which require far more

wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads

(such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate

than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.

For safety reasons, the unit will simply shut down if it is

overloaded. To restart the unit, simply unplug all devices

plugged into the unit; disconnect the unit from any 12V DC

power source; then reconnect the unit BEFORE plugging

the appliance back in.

Operation of the AC Outlets

1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12V DC power

source as described in this Instruction manual. If using

the 12V DC vehicle accessory adapter, rotate the

vehicle accessory plug slightly to make sure there is

good contact. Make sure there is adequate space for

proper ventilation of the inverter.

2. Press the power pushbutton to turn the unit ON.

3. The green power LED Indicator will light, indicating a

proper connection. If either the yellow input fault LED

Indicator or red output fault LED Indicator lights,

indicating a fault condition exists, refer to the

"Troubleshooting" section of this Instruction Manual.

4. If the Inverter does not work, make sure the ignition/

accessory switch is actually powering the accessory

outlet. Some vehicles require the ignition switch to be

turned on.

5. Plug the (B2C: 220V AC / B3: 120V AC) appliance into

one of the inverter's three-prong AC outlet and operate

normally.

Note: The Inverter will not operate appliances

and equipment that generate heat, such as hair

dryers, electric blankets, microwave ovens and

toasters. Remember to disconnect the inverter from

any power source when not in use.

Operation of the USB Charging port

1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12V DC power

source as described in this Instruction manual. If

using the 12V DC vehicle accessory adapter, rotate

the vehicle accessory plug slightly to make sure there

is good contact. Make sure there is adequate space

for proper ventilation of the inverter.

2. Press the power pushbutton to turn the unit ON.

3. The green power LED Indicator will light, indicating

a proper connection. If either the yellow input fault

LED Indicator or red output fault LED Indicator lights,

indicating a fault condition exists, refer to the

"Troubleshooting" section of this Instruction

manual.

4. If the Inverter does not work, make sure the ignition/

accessory switch is actually powering the accessory

outlet. Some vehicles require the ignition switch to be

turned on.

5. Plug the USB-powered device into the inverter's USB

charging port and operate normally.

Note: Some mobile phones are provided with a data

cable rather than a charging cable. This may result in your

mobile phone not charging via the USB. Please check with

the mobile phone manufacturer.

Note: This unit's USB charging port does not support data

communication. It only provides 5V/500mA DC power to an

external USB-powered device. Remember to disconnect

the inverter from any power source when not in use.
