WARNING
• Do not block or cover any louvered vents. Place the
inverter on a flat surface with good ventilation
between 0-35 oC and ideally 15-25 oC.
• Do not place the inverter on or near a heating
vent or any piece of heat generating equipment.
Keep inverter away from direct sunlight.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to come into
contact with the inverter.
WARNING
Any electric appliance with the power consumption beyond 150W is not allowed.
This inverter is not recommended for use with inductive loads, such as fluorescent lamps or pumps and most heat generation equipment such as hair dryers, coffee makers, irons, heaters and toasters. Permanent damage to the unit and excessive overheating may result.

Trouble Shooting
Problem: Lack of Power Output
Possible causes and suggestions:
• Inverter not adequately warmed up
Reconnect the cables and make sure the plugs are secure
• Automotive system requires ignition to be “ON” position
Turn the ignition to “accessory” position
• Battery voltage is below 10 volts
Recharge or replace the battery
• Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to maximum 100 watts
• Inverter in thermal shut down condition
Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation around the
unit.
Problem: Low Output Voltage
Possible cause and suggestions:
• Using an average - reading voltmeter
Use true RMS reading meter
• Inverter is overloaded
Reduce the load to a maximum 100 watts to maintain regulation
• Input voltage below 10 volts
Keep input voltage above 10 volts to maintain regulation

Trouble Shooting
Problem: No Power Output, indicator not ON
Possible causes and suggestions:
• The Car’s battery is low (<11.5Vdc) or defective
Start the engine to recharge or replace the car’s battery if needed. Disconnect the input cable before starting the car’s engine to minimize power surge. If such a case occurs, reconnect the cable to resume normal operation.
• Connection cable is not secured
Reconnect the cables and make sure all plugs are secured.
• Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to continuous 150 watts or below and use equipment with starting surge power within inverter capability.
• Inverter in thermal shut down condition
Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation around the unit.
• Inverter Fuse blown
Unplug the power cable and replace the fuse following fuse replacement instruction.
• Automotive Fuse for Cigarette Lighter Blown
Check and replace the fuse for your car's cigarette lighter following the instructions in your car's service manual.
Problem: Low Output Voltage
Possible cause and suggestions:
• Inverter is overloaded
Reduce load to continuous 150 watts or below to maintain regulation.
• Input voltage below 11.5Vdc
Keep input voltage above 12Vdc to maintain regulation.
Replace the car’s battery if needed.
Safety Precautions
• This device outputs 240 Volts of electricity just as a wall socket does. Exercise extreme care that nothing comes in contact with the AC connector.
• Do not use in the presence of water or moisture.
