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 may hear a “buzzing” sound being emitted from inexpensive sound
systems when operated with the converter. This is due to ineffective lters in the
sound system’s power supply. Unfortunately, this problem can only be resolved by
purchasing a sound system with a higher quality power supply or higher quality lter.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE CONVERTER
IMPORTANT: Make sure you connect your converter to a 12V power supply only.
1. Remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet.
2. Push the 12 volt power plug rmly into the outlet.
ATTENTION: Failure to make the correct connections will result in blown fuses and
permanent damage to the converter.
3. The LED indicator light should glow GREEN, verifying the converter is
receiving power.
NOTE: You may hear a “buzzing” sound being emitted from the cooling fan.
4. Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
5. Plug the device into the converter’s AC outlet or USB port.
6. Turn the device on.
7. To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time to avoid a
power surge and overloading the converter. The surge load of each device should not
exceed the converter’s Continuous Operation wattage rate.
5. POWER SOURCE
Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge will provide an ample power
supply to the converter for approximately 3 hours when the engine is off. The actual
length of time the converter will function depends on the age and condition of the battery
and the power demand being placed by the device being operated with the converter.
If you decide to use the converter while the engine is off, we recommend you turn OFF
the device plugged into the converter and disconnect the converter’s plug from the 12 volt
accessory outlet before starting the engine. To maintain battery power, start the engine
every 2 to 3 hours and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
Although it is not necessary to disconnect the converter when turning over the engine, it
may briey cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. While the converter draws
very low amperage when not in use, it should be unplugged, to avoid battery drain.
