3. BEFORE USING YOUR CONVERTER
• Automotive batteries are recommended for only a short period of time of an
hour or less.
• Do not use the converter with a product that draws a higher wattage than
the converter can provide, as this may cause damage to the converter and
product.
• 6•
When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device goes
through 2 stages:
1. Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the
“starting” or “peak” load).
2. Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as
the “continuous load”).
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped
or printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user’s manual.
Otherwise, contact the manufacturer to nd out whether the device you want
to use is compatible with a modied sine wave.
To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x wattage.
In general, the startup load of the device or power tool determines whether your
converter has the capability to power it.
Always run a test to establish whether the converter will operate a particular
piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the converter is
designed to automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging the converter while testing devices and
equipment within the wattage range of the converter.
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.

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.

6. HOW POWER CONVERTERS WORK
There are two stages involved in converting 12 volt DC (battery) power into
120V AC (household voltage):
STAGE 1: The power converter uses a DC to DC transformer to increase the
12-volt DC input voltage from the power source to 145 volt DC.
STAGE 2: The converter then converts the 145 volt DC into 120 volts AC
(household voltage) using advanced MOSFET transistors in a full bridge
conguration. A “modied sine wave” waveform is generated by this
conversion.
7. LED INDICATOR AND SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The LED glows GREEN automatically when plugged into a 12 volt DC
source and will not glow under the following conditions:
1. When the power input from the vehicle’s battery drops to approximately 10 volts,
low battery shutdown occurs and the converter shuts off. Recharge or replace
the battery.
2. When the power input from the vehicle’s battery exceeds 15 volts, high voltage
protection occurs. Reduce the voltage range to between 12 volts and 14 volts.
3. The continuous load demand from the equipment or device being
operated exceeds the continuous load rating of the converter. Use a
higher capacity converter or lower rated device.
4. The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F). Allow the converter
to cool. Do not block the cooling slots or air ow over and through the
converter. Reduce the load on the converter to the continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs, remove the 12 volt plug from the
accessory outlet. Check the source of the problem and correct. Reinsert the
12 volt plug into the accessory outlet.
• 10 •
8. IF THE CONVERTER’S FUSE BLOWS
Your power converter is tted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse
polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow:
1. Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.
2. Find the source of the problem and repair it.
3. Install a new 15 amp fuse. The fuse can be found on the end of the plug
on the converter.
4. Do not overtighten the fuse cap; nger-tight is sufcient.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a fuse higher than 15 amp, as this may damage
the converter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using
the converter again.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REASON/SOLUTION
LEDs do not light, or
converter does not
function.
Poor contact at terminals.
Blown fuse.
Converter has shut down.
