CAUTION!
• Do not connect live AC power to the power inverter’s AC outlets. The power inverter
will be damaged even if it is switched off.
• Avoid placing the power inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources
of heat. Do not place the power inverter in direct sunlight (e.g. on the vehicle's
dashboard) in order to prevent an overheat shutdown caused by high temperatures. Do not
use the power inverter in temperatures over 40°C (104°F).
CAUTION!
• DO NOT USE
the power inverter with the following equipment:
Small battery-operated devices such as rechargeable flashlights,
some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge. The device can be
damaged if connected to the power inverter. Always
recharge batteries using a separate battery charger.
Battery chargers used in power tools. These chargers display a
WARNING LABEL stating that there are dangerous voltages at the
charger’s battery terminals.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the power inverters or ventilation openings.
• The power inverter must only be connected to a battery that has a nominal output of
12 V. It will not operate if connected to a 6 V battery and may be damaged if connected to a
battery with 16 V or more.
• REVERSE POLARITY. Power connections from a 12 V battery to the power inverter
must be positive to positive and negative to negative. A reverse polarity connection (positive
to negative) will blow a fuse in the power inverter and might permanently damage the
unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
• Disconnect the power cable whenever the engine is switched off for extended periods of
time. In some vehicles, the power does not turn off after the engine has been switched off.
If the plug is left connected, the vehicle battery might become discharged or damaged.
• Using the device for extended periods of time can completely discharge the vehicle battery.
• When using a power inverter continuously inside a vehicle that is not running, the
engine should be started at least once an hour for 10–15 minutes to keep the battery
from discharging. Do not start a vehicle in a closed garage, as the carbon monoxide in the
exhaust is fatal.
• Power inverters work best with a battery that is in good condition and fully charged.
A weak battery will be drained easily if demands are too high. This could leave you
stranded so be sure to check the battery’s condition before using a power inverter in
a stationary vehicle.
