the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for inverter
This product’s AC receptacle has a non-sinusoidal out-
put and is not recommended for use with certain types
of sensitive electronics. Please refer to your product's
This product is for indoor use only.
Do not expose inverter to rain or snow, or use when wet.
Do not disassemble the inverter.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is neces-
sary when an appliance is used near children.
Store inverters indoors and away from children.
As with all electrical devices, use caution when plug-
ging and unplugging this unit into an outlet or plugging/
unplugging other devices into this unit. Do not force this
unit into an outlet. Do not force plugs into this unit.
To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting inverter.
If this unit is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by this equipment
Do not overload the tool. It must be used for powering
devices less than the product rating.
Operate this product using only the AC power type listed
in the product specifications.
Two- or three-prong plugs may be used with this product.
Do not force a polarized plug (one prong larger than the other)
into this product. Flip plug over and retry.
Never block air vents. Blocked vents may cause overheat-
ing. Inverter will automatically shut off when overheated.
Keep inverter cool. Do not place near vehicle heat vents
Use only with power cord provided.
Disconnect inverter from power supply when not in use.
Do not use the inverter around flammable fumes and
gasses, such as in the bilge of a boat or near propane
Do not use in an enclosed area with automotive lead
Do not put foreign objects into the inverter.
Refer to the operator’s manual for the vehicle or con-
tact the vehicle manufacturer for the proper 12V power
receptacle. This product is not suitable for being powered
through the cigarette lighter receptacle.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not connect to an AC load
center (circuit breaker panel) having multiwire branch

Do not power life support devices or other necessary
medical equipment with this tool.
This unit should never be hard wired into a circuit.
This unit should never be wired into a AC distribution
Do not attempt to set up, make adjustments or power
devices while operating a vehicle.

them to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan
someone this product, loan them these instructions also.
Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating
higher than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
This product is rated to draw 12 amperes from 13.8V
vehicle outlets. Ensure that the electrical system in your
vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle
fusing to open. This can be determined by making sure the
fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher
than 12 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings
are typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a
vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. The
cause of the overload must be found. Fuses should not be
patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious
damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause fire.

With power inverter turned off, insert connector cord plug
into receptacle in rear of inverter.
Plug the 12V DC plug into the 12V DC receptacle.
NOTE: Some vehicles may stop power to the accessory
outlet when the vehicle’s engine starter is engaged. Any
items connected to the power inverter may momentarily be
Press LED power button/overload indicator to turn inverter
ON. LED will light up green.
NOTE: If the LED does not come on, turn on vehicle ignition.
Plug devices you want to power or charge into the inverter’s
USB ports and/or 120 Volt receptacle.
