INSTRUCTIONS:
American-made appliances
will not work in most parts of
the world without a Voltage
Converter. U.S. appliances
are designed to operate on
U.S. voltage (110/120 volts),
while most foreign voltage is
220/240 volts.
Your Watson Voltage
Converter reduces foreign
electricity to 110/120 volts,
enabling you to use your low
wattage portable appliances
almost anywhere in the world.
Plug the Voltage Converter
into the 220/240 volt wall
outlet, plug your 110/120
volt appliance into the
4 | Instructions
Voltage Converter, and turn on
your appliance.
All appliances have a wattage
rating marked on them. Check
that the appliance does not
exceed 50 watts. Please note
that some U.S. appliances
may operate a little slowly
when used in foreign countries
operating on 50 cycles (U.S.
appliances are designed to
operate on 60 cycles).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not leave Voltage Converter in the
wall outlet when not in use.
At times there may be a low humming
sound in the voltage converter, the
appliance, or both. This is normal.
Due to unstable voltage in many foreign
countries, if your appliance has a builtin thermostat, it may shut off your
appliance prematurely. This does not
mean that your appliance or Voltage
Converter is not working properly.
Do not use the Voltage Converter or an
adapter plug if it is not working properly;
has been dropped in water; or if it has
been damaged in any way.
DO NOT USE THIS VOLTAGE CONVERTER
CONTINUOUSLY WITH APPLIANCES
EXCEEDING 25 WATTS.
Use Watson's 85W, 300W, or 500W
Voltage Converters for appliances
requiring more than 50 watts of power.
