Your power supply’s features include:

Built-In Cigarette Lighter Socket — lets you
quickly connect a cigarette-lighter plug to the
power supply.

Over Temperature Protection Circuit — auto-
matically shuts off AC power to the power supply
if it overheats.

Current Overload Fuse Protection — the built-
in fuse automatically detects an output overload
and shuts off standard 120/240V AC current input
power to the power supply.

Lighted Power Switch — makes it easy to see if
the power supply is on.

Universal AC Input Voltage — lets you use
standard 120V or European 220/240V AC power
to power the power supply.

Output Short Circuit Protection — the power
supply automatically shuts off output power if the
output is shorted, then restores output power
when the short circuit is removed.
