WARNING
Keep children away from the XPower inverter. The
inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC
power as a normal househ ol d wall outlet . Treat the
outlet with respect!

WARNING
The XPower inverter housing may become
uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under
extended high power operation. During operation,
keep it away from materials that may be affected by
high temperatures.
WARNING
Do not use the XPower inverter in the presence of
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do
not use the XPower inverter in an enclosure
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.
These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent
explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by
sparks from electrical connections.

XPower_pocket_inv_FM.book Page 5 Tuesday, May 22, 2007 9:00 AM
WARNING: Shock hazard
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of
the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter .

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries
can be damaged if connected to the XPower inverter.
Do not use the inverter with the following
appliances:
• Small battery-operated appliances like
rechargeable flashlights, som e rechargeable
shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Battery chargers used in hand power tools.
These chargers display a warning label stating
that dangerous voltages are present at the

The XPower inverter’s AC output waveform, called
“modified sine wave,” is designed to function
similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.

UTION: Reverse polarity damage
When plugging in the DC cable, ensure that the plug
aligns with the DC cable port. Failure to do so will
result in reverse polarity and a blown fuse.
