Important Safety Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – this manual contains safety and operating instructions for the inverter. Misusing or incorrectly connecting the inverter may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and Warning statements in the guide.Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.Cautions identify conditions or practices that may damage the unit or other equipment.
WARNINGThis guide contains important safety and operating instructions in how to use the inverter to power loads using the AC outlet and USB port. Read this guide fully for safe operation of this inverter.
1. Do not expose the inverter to moisture, rain, or snow.2. Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement.3. Do not disassemble the inverter. Incorrect reassembly may result inshock or fire hazard.4. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the inverter from the DC accessory outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: BURN, FIRE HAZARDThe inverter housing may become warm and may reach temperatures approaching or beyond 140 °F (60 °C) under extended high power operation. During operation, keep it away from materials that may be affected by these temperatures. Do not use the inverter in ambient temperatures over 104 °F (40 °C). Allow for proper ventilationand do not cover the ventilation openings with anything that may overheat the inverter during operation.
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause personal injury and/or damage to the inverter. II may also void your product warranty.
WARNING: MEDICAL EQUIPMENTThis product is NOT tested, designed nor intended to be used with life support systems or any other medical devices.
WARNING: PROPER APPLICATIONDo not use the appliance for any application except that for which ii is intended.
Operating Instructions
WARNING: RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATIONWhen using tools or equipment. basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury. Improper operation, maintenance or modification of equipment could result in serious injury and property damage. We strongly recommend that this product NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which ii was designed. Read and understand all warnings and operating instructions before using any equipment.
- Plug the inverter into your vehicle’s accessory
- Plug an AC-powered device into the three-prong AC receptacle and turn it Make sure that the power rating of the device is less than the “peak power”of the inverter.
CAUTION: VEHICLE BATTERY DISCHARGESome vehicles’ DC accessory socket remain powered even when the ignition switchor engine is turned off. To avoid discharging the vehicle’s battery, always remove the inverter from the DC accessory socket when not in use.
3. Plug a USS-powered device into the USB port. The USB port can be used separately and simultaneously while AC loads are connected and running via the AC receptacle.
TroubleshootingThis section will help you identify the source of most problems that can occur with the inverter. If you have a problem with the inverter,please review this section before contacting your dealer.
PROBLEM: Inverter does not operate.
| Posslble cause | Remedy |
| 1)An overload/over temperature shutdown has occurred. | Use an AC-powered device that has a power rating of less than the rated “peak power”. Allow the inverter to cool down, or try to reduce the ambient temperature and try again. Do not cover the
inverter’s ventilation openings. |
| 2) High starting surge has caused an overload shutdown. | Use an AC-powered device that has a surge power rating less than the surge power rating of the inverter. |
| 3) Vehicle’s ignition switch is turned off thus the DC
accessory socket is also off. |
Tum the vehicle’s ignition switch to ON. Consult your vehicle’s manual for instructions. |
| 4) Poor contact with the DC accessory socket. | Adjust the inverter’s DC plug to ensure a snug fit. If needed, cleanthe DC accessory socket. |
| 5) Vehicle battery is discharge.d | Recharge the vehicle battery. |
| 6) Vehicle fuse blown due to heavy load on the accessory socket. | Replace the blown fuse. Consult your vehicle’s manual for fuse location, fuse type, and instructions. |
PROBLEM: USB-powered device does not operate.
| Possible cause | Remedy |
| USB connector is not inserted properly into the USB port. | Ensure that the USB cable’s connectors are properly filled into the USB ports of either device. |

General Warnings and Cautions
Interference with Electronic EquipmentGenerally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with household AC powe.r Below is information concerning two possible exceptions.
Buzzing sound In audio systems and radiosSome low quality stereo systems and AM-FM radios have inadequate internal power supply filtering and “buzz’ slightly when powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio product with a higher quality filter.
Television InterferenceThe inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals. However, with weak TV signals interference may be visible in the form of lines scrolling across the screen. The following should minimize or eliminate the problem:• Increase the distance between the inverter and the TV, antenna and cables.• Adjust the orientation of the inverter, television, antenna and cables.• Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use shielded antenna cable where possible.
RecyclingBattery-Biz is committed to environmental responsibility and recommends that electronic devices be disposed of properly. Please contact your local city offices for information on recycling and disposal programs for e-waste.
