Some Powerful Advice.
When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that
neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe
operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear
of the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear shift.
To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note
the following important safety precautions:
• MOISTURE. Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it
to moisture. Do not operate the inverter if you, the
inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces
that may come in contact with any power sources are
wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct
electricity which may lead to serious injury or death.
• HEAT. For peak efficiency, the ambient air
temperature should be between 50° and 80° F. Avoid
placing the inverter on or near heating vents,
radiators or other sources of heat. Do not place the
inverter in direct sunlight.
• VENTILATION. In order to disperse the heat generated
while the inverter is in operation, keep it well ventilated.
While in use, maintain several inches of clearance around
the top and sides of the inverter.
• FUMES & GASES. Avoid using the inverter near
flammable materials. Do not place the inverter in
areas such as battery compartments, where fumes or
gases may accumulate.
2. Change the relative positions of the inverter, antenna
cables and television power cord.
3. Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables
from the 12 volt power source by running an extension
cord from the inverter to the television set.
4. Coil the television power cord and the input cables running
from the 12 volt power source to the inverter.
Note:
Inexpensive sound systems may emit a "buzzing" sound
when operated with the inverter. This is due to inadequate
filters in the sound system. There is no solution to his
problem short of purchasing a sound system with a higher
quality power supply.
For You Microwave Chefs.
The power rating commonly associated with microwave ovens
is the "cooking power" which is the power being "delivered"
to the item being microwaved. The actual operating power
requirement rating is higher than the cooking power rating
and typically is referenced on the back of the microwave. If
the operating power requirement does not appear on the
back of the microwave, check the owner’s manual or contact
the manufacturer.
