The green LED will light when the battery has reached full charge. This 5.
could take up to 72 hours due to the age and condition of the battery.
The charger will automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the
battery at full charge without damaging it.
Charge the Portable Power as soon as possible after use.6.
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using the male-
to-male charger cable (p/n 38-99-001564 – not included). Insert one end
of the accessory cable into the 12V DC power outlet and the other end
into the vehicle’s accessory outlet (lighter socket). Completely disconnect
the charger cable when the vehicle’s engine is not running. NOTE: The
Charging (red) LED and the green LED do not operate during this method
of charging.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS4.
Using The Inverter4.1
It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan
to use with the inverter. The Portable Power must be used with devices
drawing 400 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an
estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the
AC voltage (120V).
Devices like TVs, fans or electronic motors require additional power to
start (commonly known as the “starting or peak power”). The Portable
Power can supply a momentary surge in wattage; however, even devices
rated less than the maximum 400 watts can exceed the inverter’s surge
capability and cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Make sure the device you are using is compatible with the modied sine
wave inverter.
NOTE: In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to auto-
matically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter
while testing devices and equipment with the 400-watt limit.
Powering a 120V AC Device
To operate a 120V AC device:
Plug the 120V AC device into the AC power outlet, and push the inverter
switch to ON. NOTE: The CHARGING (red) LED also functions as the
INVERTER ON light. When you push the inverter switch to the ON posi-
tion, the CHARGING (red) LED will light.
Turn on the 120V AC device (if required).
If a device will not operate properly when rst connected to the inverter,
push the inverter rocker switch ON, OFF, and ON again in quick succes-
sion. If this procedure is not successful, it is likely that the Portable Power
does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question.
Charge the Portable Power as soon as possible after each use.
