This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore,
we do not recommend you use it to power the following devices:
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line filter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high intensity lamps (with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Doing so may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.
3. FASTENING THE INVERTER TO A FLAT SURFACE
For convenience, your inverter can be fastened to a flat surface,
horizontally or vertically. The area where the inverter is to
be fastened must be dry, well ventilated and away from any
combustible material or fumes.
1. Turn off and disconnect the inverter.
2. Place the back of the inverter with the mounting bracket
against a secure and flat surface.
3. Attach the inverter to the flat surface, using corrosion-resistant
screws.
4. CONNECTING INVERTER CABLES
The inverter and power source must be in the OFF mode.
Make sure you connect your inverter to a 12V
power supply only.
Connecting inverter cable to a vehicle (100 watts maximum)
1. Remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet.
2. Push the 12V power plug firmly into the outlet.
Failure to make the correct connections will result in
blown fuses and permanent damage to the inverter.
