When using the vehicle’s 12 volt accessory port, this converter is designed to supply
60 to 70 watts when the vehicle is not running. With the vehicle’s engine running, it can
supply up to 100 watts. To use the full output, you must connect the converter directly
to your battery.
NOTE: The 100 watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles. Some
vehicles may allow the full output. If the fuse blows when you switch on the device
you are trying to use, you have to either use a smaller device or you must connect the
converter directly to the battery.
IMPORTANT: This converter uses a modied sine waveform (diagram A) which
is not quite the same as power company electricity (diagram B). For the following
devices, we strongly recommend that you use caution and check the device’s
manual to make sure it is compatible with modied sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line lter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high intensity lamps (with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Using the converter with any of these devices may cause the device to run warmer
or overheat.

IMPORTANT: If you are using the power converter to operate a battery charger,
monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery
charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the converter immediately.
NOTE: You can use an extension cord from the converter to the device without
signicantly decreasing the power being generated by the converter. For best
operating results, the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
