Vector Pocket Generator VEC018-AC - Manual (Page 6)

110-volt AC Operation
CAUTION:
Rechargeable Devices
Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them
directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter unit of the
Pocket Generator™. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature
for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If
excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be
used with this unit. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated
equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is
plugged into an AC receptacle. The Pocket Generator™ is capable of running
most chargers and transformers.
1. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the inverter is in the OFF position.
2. Insert the 110-volt AC plug on the device to be operated into the AC outlet on
the power inverter.
3. Turn the power inverter’s ON/OFF switch to ON.
4. Switch on the device, and operate as usual. Run-time depends upon the amperage
draw of the device (see charts).
5. Green power/ON light next to switch will be lit.
12-volt DC Operation
WARNINGS
• When using the Pocket Generator™ Rechargeable Power Supply to run
12-volt devices, always check the polarity of the device to verify that it is negative
ground. The Pocket Generator’s™ DC receptacle has an output limit of
10 amps; do not use it to power devices that require more than 10 amps.
Note: The unit has an in-line 10-amp fuse that is designed to fail in the event the
unit is used with any device requiring more than 10 amps.
• Always turn the power inverter switch to OFF position while running any 12-volt
device, boosting vehicle battery system, using as Memory Saver, or recharging
the Pocket Generator™ from either 110-volt AC or 12-volt DC power source.
Failure to do so will void manufacturer’s warranty.
1. Simply insert the device’s 12-volt plug into the DC receptacle on the side of the
Pocket Generator™.
2. Switch on the device, and operate as usual. Run-time depends upon the
amperage draw of the device.
3. When necessary, recharge the Pocket Generator™, as directed in this manual.
