1. Once the vehicle accessory adapter is properly connected to a 12 Volt DC power source the bi color LED indicator lights GREEN when the inverter is connected to DC power and the unit power is ON If the bi color LED indicator lights RED refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 12 of this manual ALWAYS TURN THE INVERTER ON BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE DEVICE The standard North American 110 120 volt AC and USB outlets allow the user to operate multiple devices simultaneously Simply plug the equipment into the unit Note Ensure wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged into the power inverter does not exceed 120 watts continuous Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment Most electrical tools appliances electronic devices and audio visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts Be sure the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 120 watts If the power consumption is rated in amps AC simply multiply by the AC volts 110 120 to determine the power Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run however it will not operate larger resistive loads such as electric stoves and heaters which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver Inductive loads such as TVs and stereos require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating For safety reasons the inverter will simply shut down if it is o2. contact The LED will light GREEN indicating a proper connection If the inverter does not work make sure the ignition accessory switch is actually powering the accessory outlet Some vehicles require the ignition switch to be turned on Plug the USB powered device into the inverter s USB Power Port and operate normally nu N O Notes This inverter s USB Power Port does not support data communication It only provides 5 volts 500mA DC power to an external USB powered device The USB power output is not controlled by the ON OFF Power The USB power is always on when the Power Cord is connected to a 12 Volt DC power source Remember to disconnect the Power Cord from any power source when the unit is not in use Protective Features The inverter monitors the following conditions e Low Battery Voltage This condition is harmful to the inverter and could damage the power source so the inverter will automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10 5 Volts DC Input Voltage Too High The inverter will automatically shut down when DC input voltage exceeds 15 Volts as this can harm the unit Thermal Shutdown Protection The inverter will auto matically shut down when the unit becomes overheated Overload Short Circuit Protection The inverter will auto matically shut down if a short circuit occurs AC Ground Leakage The inverter will automatically shut down when leakage current exceed
