Overview
- AC socket
- USB port
- Power switch
- 12V plug
Installation
- Ensure the inverter power switch is in the OFF position.
- Plug the inverter into the vehicle’s 12V socket.
- Place the inverter in the cup holder of the car.
- Check the electrical requirements of the devices by examining the compliance plate or sticker. If unsure, contact the manufacturer for guidance. It’s important to note that the inverter must be able to produce the required amount of continuous power. For example, if the appliance needs 650 watts, a 1000W inverter would be necessary.
- Turn on the vehicle, the inverter, and the connected devices.
- Disconnect the devices and the inverter when they are no longer in use.
Note: If the self-protection system is activated, disconnect the inverter from the vehicle. Wait approximately 30 seconds before reconnecting it.
