Important:

BEFORE USING YOUR SMART AC POWER INVERTER READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS OWNER'S

GUIDE. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-THIS OWNER'S GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING! Shock hazard

The Smart AC Power Inverter generates the same AC power as a normal

household wall outlet.

Do not open (no user-servicable parts inside).

Do not insert foreign objects into the outlet.

Do not expose to water, rain, or snow.

Do not connect to power utility AC distribution wiring.

Failure to follow the above may result in personal injury or damage to the inverter.

CAUTION

REFER TO THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER BATTERY

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION.
NEUTRAL FLOATING

-do not connect to the inverter any AC products whose neutral conductor is

connected to the ground.

Do not expose to temperatures over 40°C (104°F).

Your Smart AC Power Inverter converts 12 V DC battery power to 110 V AC
household electrical power so you can operate products from your car, truck,
boat, SUV or RV.

WARNING! Heated surface

The inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 65°C

(150°F) under extended high power operation. During operation, keep the inverter from materials that may
be affected by high temperatures.

Operation

Plug the inverter into your vehicle's lighter socket. If the socket is too large, adjust the negative
connectors using the slide control to ensure a snug fit. The (green) LED will light up.

Plug an AC product into the three prong AC receptacle and turn it on. Ensure your product draws 75
watts or less of continuous AC power. To avoid discharging the battery, always remove the inverter
from the lighter socket when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Problem: AC product does not operate; green light is not illuminated

AC product connected is rated at more
than 75 watts; overload shutdown occurs.

High starting surge has caused overload
shutdown even though AC product
connected is rated at less than 200 watts.

Lighter socket or 12 volt outlet may require
ignition to be switched on.

Poor contact with lighter socket or 12 volt
outlet.

Battery is discharged.

Fuse blown by heavy load.

Use product with a power rating of less
than 75 watts.

Product exceeds inverter's surge capability.
Use a product with starting surge power of
less than 200 watts.

Turn ignition key to accessory position.

Press inverter firmly into the lighter socket.
Make sure the socket is clean.

Recharge battery.

Replace the 10 A slow blow fuse by
unscrewing the fitting in the positive
connector.

Problem: Buzzing sound in audio systems

Inexpensive stereo systems have an inadequate internal power supply filtering which causes a
buzzing sound. A system with a high quality filter is the only solution. A noise filter can also
be purchased at a local electronics store.
