Your 1250 Watt Power Inverter converts 12-volt vehicle 
battery power into 115 volts of AC power. You can use 
the inverter in your vehicle to operate many types of 
appliances that use AC power such as TVs, VCRs, 
portable computers, power tools, and lights for 
emergency or camping use. 
 
The inverter works with your vehicle’s engine turned on 
or off (accessory mode). It provides a continuous output 
of up to 1250 watts. 
 

 

BASIC OPERATION 

 

  Use the right operating voltage for both input and 

output of the inverter. 

  Powering devices by connecting 

 

from inverter to 

 

of battery terminal and connect 

 

from inverter to 

 

of battery terminal. 

 

 

  Turn ON the power switch that is located at the front 

of the inverter, and the green LED light will light as 
indicator that the unit at work.

GROUNDED VEHICLE. 

 
 

 
RECOMMENDATION 

 

  If the power inverter makes a beeping sound, turn 

OFF the power inverter and disconnect all 
appliances from inverter and disconnect the inverter 
from power supply.  The beeping sound is simply the 
low battery warning, which indicates that the voltage 
of the battery power supply is getting low.  Please 
restart the vehicle engine before operating the 
power inverter. 

  When you are not using the inverter, turn the power
