Warning! Drawing too much current or reversing the leads of the MFJ-1116 will damage

your radio accessories.

Thank you for purchasing the MFJ-1116 Deluxe Multiple DC Power Outlets. The MFJ-1116 is

very versatile in allowing you to channel DC power to as many as eight (8) different ham radio

accessories at the same time. The MFJ-1116 alleviates the problems of multiple connections to the

same DC power supply terminals. The main power switch turns the outlets ON and OFF. A 15

amp fuse is used to protect your equipment from excessive power surges. The meter monitors the

DC voltage from your power supply.

The MFJ-1116 is not a power supply. The output voltage and current of the MFJ-1116 depend on

the output voltage and current of the main DC power supply that the MFJ-1116 is connected to.

Caution: Do not connect your HF radio to the MFJ-1116. Your radio must always be

connected directly to your main DC power supply.

carry a maximum of 5 amps at 12 VDC. Do NOT connect your HF radio to the MFJ-1116. It was

designed to supply DC power to your station accessories only.
