a.
With the device or appliance switched
off, plug it into the Power Outlet or
the USB Outlet on the Inverter.
b.
Turn on the device and/or appliance.
Note:
The total wattage of all items plugged
into the Inverter must not use more than
120 watts during continuous operation,
otherwise the Inverter may overload.
Note:
This unit has an automatic shut off
feature if output is over 126 watts or if input
voltage is under 9.9 VDC or over 15.5 VDC.

NOTICE:
Some rechargeable appliances
may damage the Inverter or the appliance.
When first using a rechargeable device,
check the Inverter’s temperature for the first
10 minutes. If it becomes abnormally hot,
do not use this device with the Inverter.
Note:
Connect the Inverter while the vehicle’s
engine is running. Thereafter the engine
can be on or off. If running the Inverter
with the engine off, run the engine every
hour for at least 10 minutes to recharge the
