BEFORE USING YOUR POWER INVERTER3.
NOTE: This inverter is designed to be used with a single battery, up to group 31 type
(130 Ah or smaller in size).
NOTE: Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the inverter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and product.
When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device basically goes through two stages:
Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the 1. “starting or peak load”).
Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as 2. the “continuous load”).
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user’s manual. Otherwise, contact
the manufacturer to nd out whether the device you want to use is compatible with a modied sine wave.
To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x WATTS. In general, the start up load of the device or power tool determines whether your inverter has the capability to power it.

To calculate the continuous load: Continuous Load = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
particular piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment within the wattage range of the inverter.
If a device does not operate properly when rst connected to the inverter, turn the
inverter ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succession. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question.
used with the vehicle 12 volt accessory port. To use the full output you must use the battery clips adapter and connect the inverter directly to the battery.
NOTE: The 100 watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles. Some vehicles may allow the full output. If the fuse blows when you switch on the device you are trying to use, you have to either use a smaller device or you must purchase the 12 volt accessory outlet to battery clips adapter (Schumacher Model SAC-103) and connect the inverter directly to the battery.

Turn the device on. The display will now show the total wattage used by the 5. device. To change the digital display, press the ON/OFF switch.
To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.6.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and overloading the inverter. The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverters Continuous Operation wattage rate.
and the alarm will sound. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the alarm. If the  displays after several attempts, there is a short circuit or the device requires more “starting” or “peak” load than the inverter is capable of providing.
monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
NOTE: You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without
signicantly decreasing the power being generated by the inverter. For best
operating results, the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
Using the USB Port
The USB port provides up to 500mA at 5V DC.
Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device:
The inverter is shielded and ltered to minimize signal interference. Despite this,
some interference may occur with your television picture, especially with weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception.
If there is a short circuit or power surge in the device,  will display
If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger,
Plug the device into the USB port.1. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn the inverter on. (The internal 2.
speaker will make a brief “beep”. This is normal.). Turn the USB device on.3.
Reverse these steps when nished using the USB port.4.
Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal 1. operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shielded and of good quality.
Try altering the position of the inverter, antenna cables, and television 2. power cord. Add an extension cord from the inverter to the TV so as to isolate its power cord and antenna cables from the 12-volt power source.
• 11 •
Try coiling the television power cord and the input cables running from the 3. 12-volt power source to the inverter.
Afx one or several “Ferrite Data Line Filters” to the television power cord. 4.
Ferrite Data Line Filters can be purchased at most electronic supply stores.
NOTE: You may hear a “buzzing” sound being emitted from inexpensive sound
systems when operated with the inverter. This is due to ineffective lters in the
sound system’s power supply. Unfortunately, this problem can only be resolved by
purchasing a sound system with a higher quality power supply or higher quality lter.
POWER SOURCE6.
Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for approximately 3 hours when the engine is off. The actual length of time the inverter will function depends on the age and condition of the battery and the power demand being placed by the device being operated with the inverter.
If you decide to use the inverter while the engine is off, we recommend you turn OFF the device plugged into the inverter before starting the engine. To maintain battery power, start the engine every 2 to 3 hours and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turning over the engine,
it may briey cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. While the inverter
draws very low amperage when not in use, it should be unplugged to avoid battery drain.
LED DISPLAY7.
The LED display identies the current status of the inverter.
VOLTS DC: The voltage of the vehicle’s battery, Portable Power jump starter or DC power source.
VOLTS AC: The voltage supplied to the device through the AC receptacle.
WATTS: The power or wattage supplied to the device plugged into the inverter.
An audio alarm will sound when any of the following codes display. To stop the alarm, press the ON/OFF switch:
• – The inverter is not functional. See warranty and call Customer Service 1-800-621-5485 (Hours: 7:00 am to 5:00 pm CST).
• – The vehicle’s battery voltage is more than 15.5-volts. The inverter will automatically restart after the voltage drops below 15.0-volts.
• 12 •
• – The continuous load demand from the device exceeds the inverter’s wattage output.
• – The inverter is overheated and automatically turns off for a period of 1 to 3 minutes to cool. Make sure the inverter is well ventilated. It will automatically restart after it cools.
• – The vehicle’s battery voltage is less than 10.5-volts. • – Short circuit, power surge or overload in the device.
IF THE INVERTER FUSE BLOWS8.
Your power inverter is tted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced under
normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow, take the inverter to a qualied technician for repair.
