4. Connecting and operating the inverter
When connecting the unit, please be sure to follow the guideline,
cautions and warnings mentioned in this manual. The inverter should be
connected to your vehicle’s 12 V battery or power outlet socket. No devices
should be plugged into the inverter until the inverter is properly connected and
the inverter’s power indicator is active.
Please follow the following to connect your inverter:
1) Plug the inverter directly into a 12 Volt Cigarette or Power Outlet
Socket.
2) Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and
switch them on, one at a time.
3) If the Wattage draw of your devices exceeds the inverter’s capacity,
the unit will shut down and the indicator light will flash.
4) When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the DC cable clips
from the battery to prevent unintended battery discharge.
Caution
As the battery is being used, its voltage begins to fall. When the inverter
senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to the range of
9.7V~10.3VDC, the unit will automatically shut down and the red LED
indicator will light, indicating a fault. This protects the battery from being
over-discharged. Turn off any devices that the inverter powers. When input
voltage rose to 11.7V~12.3V, the inverter restores normal.
Caution!
Most vehicle batteries are designed to provide short period of very high
current for starting the engine. They are not designed for a constant “deep
