Quick Start Guide

100W Auto/Air® Mobile Power Inverter

Trouble Shooting

Problem: No Power Output, indicator not ON

Possible causes and suggestions:

• The Car’s battery is low (<11.5Vdc) or defective

Start the engine to recharge or replace the car’s battery if needed. Disconnect the input cable before starting the car’s engine to minimize power surge. If such a case occurs, reconnect the cable to resume normal operation.

• Connection cable is not secured

Reconnect the cables and make sure all plugs are secured.

• Equipment being operated draws too much power

Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below and use equipment with starting surge power within inverter capability.

• Inverter in thermal shut down condition

Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation around the unit.

• Inverter Fuse blown

Unplug the power cable and replace the fuse following fuse replacement instruction.

• Automotive Fuse for Cigarette Lighter Blown

Check and replace the fuse for your car's cigarette lighter following the instructions in your car's service manual.
