Conforms to UL Std. 458，
WARNING:
This Unit employs Components that tend to produce arcs or sparks – To
prevent fire or explosion, do not install in compartments containing
batteries or flammable materials- SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION:
Provided with integral protection against overloads. To Prevent fire, do
not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do not mount in Zero-Clearance
compartment. Overheating may result. For continued protection against risk
of fire, replace only with the same type and fuse rating: 10A

The output of this device is not sinusoidal. It has a total harmonic distortion
of 30% percent and maximum single harmonic of 8 percent
1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing thePowerBright®DX100.
Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, the
DX100 efficiently and reliably powers a widevariety
of loads through both the AC outlet and USB port.
Read this guide before connecting or using the DX100
and save it for future reference.
2 Important Safety Information
Misusing or incorrectly connecting the DX100
may damage the equipment or create hazardous
conditions for users. Read the following safety
instructions and pay special attention to all Caution
and Warning statements in the guide.
Warnings identify conditions that may result in
personal injury or loss of life.
Cautions identify conditions or practices that may
damage the unit or other equipment.
1
WARNING
Keep children away from the DX100. The
inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC
power as a normal household wall outlet.
2
The DX100 housing may become
uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under
extended high power operation. During operation,
keep it away from materials that may be affected by
high temperatures.
Do not use the DX100 in the presence of
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, ornear propane tanks. Do
not use the DX100 in an enclosure
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.
These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent
explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by
sparks from electrical connections.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Shock hazard
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of
the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter.
2
CAUTION: Risk of Fire.
Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating
higher than recommended by the Vehicle
Manufacturer. The cigarette lighter connector
is rated to draw up to 10 amperes from a 12V
vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical
system in your vehicle can supply this product
without causing the vehicle fusing to open.
This can be determined by making sure the
fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is
rated higher than 10 amperes. Information on
the vehicle fuse rating is typically found in the
vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse
opens repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it.
The cause of the overload must be found. On
no account should fuses be patched up with
tin foil or wire as this may cause serious
damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or
cause re

CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal
Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries
can be damaged if connectedto the DX100.
Do not use the inverter with the following
appliances:
• Small battery-operated appliances like
rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable
shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Battery chargers used in hand power tools.
These chargers display a warning label stating
that dangerous voltages are present at the
charger battery terminals.
CAUTION
Do not connect live AC power to the DX100's
AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,
and the damage is not covered by warranty.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral
conductor connected to ground to the DX100

Additional Safety Guidelines
• Do not insert foreign objects in the DX100
outlets or other openings.
• Never connect the inverter to power utility AC
distribution wiring.
• Do not use the DX100 in temperatures
over 100° F (40° C).
• Do not expose the DX100 to water, rain,
snow, or spray.
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the DX100 .
It may also void your product warranty.
3 Safety Features
These advanced safety features are built into the DX100
• Overload protection with automatic shutdown
• Low battery voltage shutdown
• High-input voltage protection with automatic
shutdown
• Overheat protection with automatic shutdown
• Output short circuit protection.

5 Using the Inverter
Through its AC outlet, theDX100 is capable
of powering most 120V AC products that use 100 W
or less. The DX100 can also power or charge
most consumer electronics that have USB power
ports.
The DX100’s AC output waveform, called
“modified sine wave” is designed to function
similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.
Most devices are not affected by a "modified sine
wave", you may need to consult with the manufacture
of the device you wish to run prior to connection
with inverter.
Using the DC Cable with Cigarette
Lighter Plug
Due to the limitations of 12V outlets in vehicles or
boats, the DX100 should only be used to
supply AC power to products that require 100W
(about 0.8A) or less.

2. Insert the cigarette lighter plug into the 12V
outlet.
1. Plug the DC cable into the DC cable port on the
DX100. Observe correct polarity.
3. Plug the device you want to operate into the
DX100 .
4. When the inverter is not in use, unplug it from the
12V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the
battery.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity damage
When plugging in the DC cable, ensure that the plug
aligns with the DC cable port. Failure to do so will
result in reverse polarity and a blown fuse.

6 Inverter Operation
1. When properly connected to a 12V outlet, and
when theON/OFF switch is in the ON position, the
light will glow BLUE, indicating the inverter is
ready.
2. Plug the product(s) you want to operate into the
AC outlet or USB port and switch them on (if
necessary).
Operating Guidelines
• As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall.
When theDX100 senses that the voltage
at its DC input has dropped to 10.5V, the inverter
automatically shuts down and the light glows RED,
indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from
being damaged. Turn off any devices that the
DX100 is powering.
