CAUTION: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS

PRODUCT. FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO

CONNECTED EQUIPMENT OR YOUR VEHICLE WHICH IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY.

WARNING TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: Handling the cord of this product or the cord of devices
used with this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Please wash hands after handling the cord.

CAUTION: ELECTRICALLY OPERATED PRODUCT
Not recommended for use by children. As with all elec trical products, precauti ons should be observed

during handling and use to prevent electrical shock.
CAUTION: Surface of inverter may be hot during normal operation. Use caution when handling. Do

not set the inverter on or near objects that may be affected by elevated heat levels. Do not block any
of the vents on the outside of the inverter enclosure.

All inver ters generate a c ertain level of “electrical noise” wh ile operating. S ometimes this c an be heard
while listening to radio programs. If you experience this, try moving the inverter further from your

vehicle’s radio

This PowerLine
120 Volt, 60 Hz AC power. This unit will deliver 75 Watts of continuous AC power and up to 100 Watts

of peak AC power. Peak power loads occur when rst starting some AC products and typically last

shorter than on e second. The inve rter will automatically shut down if the ma ximum continuous or peak
wattage ratings are exceeded.

Do not attempt to use this inverter for any product, or combination of products, that is rated at more
than 75 watts continuous use. Peak power loads will vary depending upon the type of AC product
and are not typically shown on the rating label. However, peak loads can sometimes be as much as 5
times the rated continuous load. The wattage rating for your AC product should be shown on a rating
label or in the instruction manual for the product.

This inverter may be operated with the vehicle running or turned off. It is equipped with a special

circuit that shuts the inverter off when the vehicle’s battery voltage gets low. However, operating the

inverter with the vehicle turned off will drain the battery and could prevent the vehicle from starting.
Insert the power outlet plug of the inverter into a standard 12 Volt DC power outlet socket or power

accessory socket.
When the inverter turns on, the green light will illuminate to indicate that the inver ter is working

properly.
Plug your AC product into the inverter and operate as normal.

NORMAL OPERATION - The green light will illuminate.
OUTPUT OVERLOAD - The green light will turn off indicating that the output wattage of the inverter

has been exceeded. The 120 Volt AC socket will turn off and the AC product will no longer function.
To correct this, disconnect the AC product that is causing the overload, then remove the inver ter from
the power outlet socket and reinsert it.

LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE - The green ligh t will turn off ind icating that t he battery vol tage in the vehic le
is too low to continue operation of the inverter. The 120 Volt AC socket will turn off and the AC product

will no longer function. This feature is intended to prevent the vehicle’s battery from discharging so

far that it will no longer start the vehicle. However, all vehicles are different and some may not start if
the battery is drained too low. If the green light turns off and the inverter stops functioning because of

low battery voltage, the vehicle should be started immediately to re-charge the vehicle’s battery. To

restar t the inverter, remove it from the power outlet socket and then reinsert it.

USING THE INVERTER

OPERATING CONDITIONS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE - In rare instances a fault in the vehicle’s electrical system may cause the

batter y voltage to be too high. In this case, the inverter will automatically shut down but the green
light will continue to illuminate. If this occurs, you should have your vehicles battery voltage checked.

NOTES ON VEHICLE POWER SYSTEMS

Most vehicles’ internal DC power systems are designed to deliver up to 180 watts (12 volts at 15 amps)

of power through the power outlet socket although some vehicles may have lower ratings. Please

check the vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the maximum power available for your vehicle. These
sockets are typically protected by a 15 amp fuse which prevents damage to the vehicle’s wiring if the

socket is overloaded. In so me cases, atta ching an AC product whic h draws as much as 100 wat ts from
the inverter, could cause the fuse in the vehicle to “blow”. It may be possible to install a higher value

fuse in the vehicle to allow operation of products with higher peak load requirements (never exceed
100 watts peak). Please consult the vehicle’s operating manual or the vehicle’s manufacturer before

changing the rating of any fuse. Remember to reinstall the original fuse when not using the inverter to

avoid inadvertently exceeding the normal current rating for the vehicle’s DC power system.

IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHALL ORIGINAL POWER, INC. ASSUME ANY

LIABILITY RESULTING FROM MODIFICATIONS MADE TO YOUR VEHICLE’S INTERNAL

POWER SYSTEM, FUSES, OR FUSE BLOCK.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the inverter stops functioning, the replaceable fuse may be blown. To check or replace fuse,
disconnect any device that may be plugged into the 120 VAC outlet. Remove the inverter from the
power outlet socket. Unscrew the tip of the power outlet plug to gain access to the fuse. If the fuse is
blown, replace only with a 15 amp 3AG style fuse available at most hardware and automotive stores.
After replacing the fuse, do not attempt to power the same 120 VAC device that was being powered
before the fuse blew.
