Troubleshooting

Problem 1| 110 Volt AC product will not operate & no Inverter lights are on| Possible Cause| Suggested Remedy
---|---|---|---
Poor contact between cigarette lighter plug & vehicle cigarette lighter socket/ 12 Volt source| Press plug firmly into socket. Clean plug or socket if necessary
Lighter socket/12 Volt output may require vehicle ignition to be switched “On”| Turn key to “Accessory” position
Vehicle’s 12 Volt cigarette lighter fuse is blown| The load wattage must less than the vehicle’s cigarette lighter wattage. Check vehicle fuses and replace new one
Problem 2| Low Inverter output| Possible Cause| Suggested Remedy
Battery voltage is too low| Recharge battery
Problem 3| Vehicle’s battery does not last long/drains fast| Possible Cause| Suggested Remedy
AC product power consumption is higher than rated| Use a large battery to make up for increased power requirement
Battery is old or defective| Replace battery
Battery is not being properly charged while engine is running| Have vehicle electrical system checked by a qualified technician

READ ALL WARNINGS AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS PRODUCT!
WARNING: RISK OF SHOCK, FIRE, AND EXPLOSION.
The inverter produces the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household outlets. It is suggested that you treat it as a normal AC outlet.

• DO NOT insert foreign objects into the AC outlet, the USB port, or the ventilation hole.
• 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.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the engine or batteries.
• Make sure the inverter wiring is of proper size and rating and in good condition.
  Operating the inverter with damaged wiring may void warranty.

CAUTION: PERSONAL SAFETY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Keep away from children, this is not a toy.

• DO NOT attempt to fix the unit by disassembling or modification. You can cause self-injury and disassemble and modifying the unit will void your warranty.
• Disconnect DC power source from the inverter, before attempting to service, clean, or operate on any circuits connected to the inverter. Simply turning OFF the switch of the inverter will not disconnect the power, thereby causing electric shock.
• Never connect the inverter to any power distribution systems or branch circuits.
• DO NOT make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas designated as ignition protected. This unit is NOT approved for ignition-protected areas.
• Connect the unit to a power source with a normal output of 12v DC ONLY. 6V battery voltages are too low and 24V battery voltages are too high, which will damage the unit.
• DO NOT use the inverter in temperatures above -10°C/14°F~40°C /104°F
• DO NOT expose this product to water, rain, snow, condensation, or spray.
• DO NOT connect the unit to live AC power circuits or there will be damage to the inverter.
• DO NOT connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor connected to the ground to the unit.
• DO NOT use the inverter with medical devices since it is not approved for medical applications.
• DO NOT permanently install the unit in the engine compartment. Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the inverter.
• DO NOT use the inverter beyond its rated wattage capacity. Add the total watts of all connected appliances and be sure the total is less than the inverter’s capacity.

This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
NOTE:
If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the inverter, contact the Ampeak: [email protected] to determine the rechargeable appliances’ compatibility with the inverter.
