• This product generates the same potentially lethal AC power as
a normal household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respect
that you would any AC outlet.
• Do not insert any objects into its AC outlet, DC Power Socket,
the Jumper Cable Port, or the ventilation holes. Do not expose
this product to water.
• Do not, under any circumstances, connect Portable Power 250’s
AC receptacle to utility power AC distribution wiring.
• Failure to follow the above safety instructions may result in
personal injury and/or damage to the product.
WARNING! Explosion hazard.
• Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or
gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near
propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure
containing automotive-type lead acid batteries. These
batteries, unlike the sealed battery in Portable Power 250, vent
explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from
electrical connections.

is nearby to help you in an emergency.
WARNING! Heated surface.
