has been disconnected from all devices
and charging sources for a few hours.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
1. Make sure to turn off the 120V AC
output before charging.

accomplished by plugging in a solar panel
with a charge controller into the 12V
accessory port.
NOTE: A charge controller must be used
to keep from overcharging the battery.
CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL
BATTERY
To extend operating time, you may connect
to an additional external battery (55Ah
deep-cycle battery with threaded posts). Use
accessory cable 94500800 (not included).
See instructions included with the cable.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE
NOTE: Do not power a 12V device while
charging the internal battery.

is OFF before inserting the 12V DC
accessory plug into the 12V DC
accessory port.
2. Open the protective cover of the DC
accessory port on the unit.
3. Plug the 12V DC device into the DC
accessory port and turn on the 12V DC
device (if required).

USB ports on the front panel.
2. Press the USB port ON/OFF button.
The green USB LED conrms that the

button, to turn off.
5. Charge the unit as soon as possible
after using the USB port.
USING THE CONVERTER
It is important to know the continuous
wattage of the device you plan to use with
the converter. The unit must be used with
devices drawing 700 watts or less. If the
wattage is not marked on the device, use
only devices with total AC current of less
than 5.75A.
Devices such as TVs, fans or electric motors
require additional power to start (commonly
known as the “starting” or “peak” power).
The Backup Power can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however even devices
rated less than the maximum 700 watts can
exceed the converter’s surge capability and
cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the converter with a product
that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause
erratic operation.
CAUTION: Always run a test to establish
whether the converter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload (noted
with RED Error LED, an audible alarm and
a scrolling display message), the converter
is designed to automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging
the converter while testing devices and
equipment within the 700-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start
one device at a time to avoid a power
surge and/or converter overload. The
surge load of each device should not
exceed the converter’s Continuous
Operation wattage rate.
You can use an extension cord from
the converter to the device without
signicantly decreasing the power being
generated by the converter. For best
operating results, the extension cord
should be 16 AWG (1.31 mm2) or larger
and no longer than 50 feet.
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your converter may
result in damage and personal injury.
The converter output is 120V AC and can
shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load
is 700 watts. Do not use the converter
with a product that draws more than
700 watts, as this may cause erratic
operation.
