1. Make sure environment is cool and dry.
2. Plug the unit into the vehicle’s 12V Power outlet.
3. fully push and rotate the plug slightly to ensure good and firm connection.
4. Green Status LeD light (#4, fig 2.1) will switch oN, indicating normal operation of
inverter and USB Charging Port.
5. Plug in the AC appliance.
6. Devices with USB charging can be charged using high power USB Charging Port -
USB 3.0, Type A: 5V, 2.1A.
The vehicle’s 12V Power outlet must provide between 10.8 and 15.4 VDC. To obtain a
rough estimate of the current (in Amperes) drawn from the battery, divide the power
consumption of the load (in Watts AC) by 10.
example: lf a load is rated at 80 watts AC, the current drawn from 12V battery will be
80W divided by 10 = 8 Amperes.
Testing is the only definitive way to determine whether a specific load can be started
and how long it can run. The unit will shut down if it is overloaded.

CAUTIONS!
1. Check the maximum supply current of your vehicle’s 12V Power outlet by referring
to your vehicle’s owner manual.
2. The unit must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of
12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery, and will sustain permanent
damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
3. do not use with Positive Ground electrical systems. (The majority of modern auto-
mobiles, rVs, and trucks are Negative Ground).
