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.
Some Powerful Advice.
Your Whistler inverter will work best when placed on a reasonably
flat surface. The floor or wall of your vehicle are good locations.
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
may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However,
here are some suggestions that may improve the reception.
1. First, make certain that the television antenna produces
a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e.,
at home plugged into a standard 110 AC wall outlet).
Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded
and of good quality.
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.
5. Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power
cord. More than one filter may be required. These filters
are available at most electronic supply stores including
Radio Shack. (Radio Shack Part Number is 273-105).
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
