Operating Tips
The inverter should only be operated in locations that are:
DRY — Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter.
COOL — Surrounding air temperature should ideally be 10-20°C (50-68°F). Keep the inverter away from
direct sunlight, when possible.
WELL-VENTILATED — Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation around
the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation. The unit will shut down if the
internal temperature gets too hot. The inverter will auto-reset after it cools down.
SAFE — Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate
flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical appliance that can briefly spark when electrical
connections are made or broken.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Storage
1. Ideal storage temperature range is 0-40°C (32-104°F).
2. Store and use the inverter in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation for all-around air circulation.
3. Avoid locations that are exposed to heating units, radiators, direct sunlight, or excessive humidity or
dampness.
Fuse Replacement (12 Volt DC Accessory Plug)
If the inverter is overloaded, and the Power/Fault LED is not lit, the internal 10 amp fuse may be blown.
1. Unscrew the flange of the 12 Volt DC Accessory Plug tip (counterclockwise).
2. Remove the end contact, flange and fuse.
3. Inspect the fuse to see if it is good or blown.
4. Replace with a new 10 amp fuse, if needed.
5. Carefully reassemble the fuse, end contact and flange. Do not overtighten the flange (clockwise).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Audio/Visual Problems
Problem: Buzzing Sound In Audio Systems
Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes make a buzzing sound when operated from the
inverter, because the power supply in the electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave
produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound system that has a higher
quality power supply.
Problem: Television Interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some instances, some
interference may still be visible, especially when the TV signal is weak. Try the following to improve the picture:
1. Move the inverter as far away as possible from the TV set, the antenna, and the antenna cables. Use a
short AC extension cord, if necessary.
2. Adjust the orientation of the antenna cables, and the TV power cord to minimize interference.
3. Make sure that the antenna feeding the TV provides an adequate (snow-free) signal and that high
quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
Power/Fault LED Indicator Lights Red
When the Power/Fault LED Indicator turns from blue (indicating the unit is powered) to red, a fault condition is
present and the unit will automatically shut down. See the Protective Features Section of this Instruction
Manual and Common Power Output Problems in the following section.
