OPERATION
The 12 volt supply must provide between 10 volts to 14.5 volts DC. Do not
connect the inverter's AC output to another AC power source; damage will result,
voiding the inverter's warranty.
1. Make sure the inverter is not plugged in the vehicle DC socket prior to
starting the engine.
2. Check the wattage requirements of your mobile devices. Total wattage can
not exceed 120 watts.
3. Start your vehicle engine.
4. Insert the DC plug into the vehicle's DC accessory socket (cigarette ligther
socket).
5. Connect AC plug or USB connector to the inverter.
6. Turn on the power switch on.
7. Turn on your mobile device.
8. The green LED will light up to confirm that AC output is present.
9. After use, turn off the inverter and disconnect the plug from the
accessory socket.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the inverter does not appear to be functioning, check the following possible
causes:
• DC receptacle has no power: Check fuse in lighter socket circuit and replace
any blown fuse with same type and rating.
• Battery voltage is too low: Start the engine or recharge the battery.
• Inverter suddenly stops working: Check the charge on the battery and make
sure the devices connected to the inverter do not exceed the 120 W rating.
• Thermal overload: Under heavy loads, for extended periods of time, the
inverter will shut down to prevent damage from excess heat. Reduce the load
and allow the inverter to cool before restarting the inverter.
