   can be used while AC output cannot, this is normal.

6. The power displayed is only approximate. The actual power is related to the characteristics, efficiency, power and other factors of the electrical device.

7. When the AC is running with no load, a basic power value will be shown on the display panel due to the inverter itself using power at standby, this is normal.

Warning:

1. Before using the AC output, you must confirm that the AC output voltage and frequency of this ITECHSOO is matched with that of the electric device you are
   wanting to use.

2. The power of AC electric devices you use must be less than the allowable maximum power (SOOW) of the ITECHSOO. Some devices can be rated at a lower wattage but on startup can consume up to 10 times that. Such as water pumps, compressors, fridges, drills, drop saws and A/C units to mention a few. For example a device rated at 250w can on startup consume 1200w for just a fraction of a second. In this case the ITECHSOO will go into overload protection.

3. When the AC port is not in use, turn it off to conserve power.
