Lighted ON/OFF Switch: move to ON ("I") position to power connected equipment; switch will
illuminate. Move to OFF ("O") position to stop powering connected equipment.
2
AC Outlet: accepts 230V AC equipment you would normally plug into a wall outlet.
3
DC Fuse(s) (externally mounted): protect vehicle battery from damaging overload. If fuse
blows, replace with standard automotive fuse of equal amperage. CAUTION: installing non-
rated fuses could cause equipment damage and void your warranty.
4
Vehicle Lighter/Accessory Plug: connects to a standard 12V DC vehicle lighter/accessory
outlet.
5 Cooling Fan: maintains internal cooling.
6 Ultra-Compact, Lightweight Metal Case
Low Battery Alarm (internal, not shown): detects low voltage and shuts down Inverter to preserve
vehicle battery. If alarm sounds, turn Inverter OFF and run engine to recharge battery.
Overload Alarm (internal, not shown): detects wattage overload on Inverter outlets and shuts
down Inverter as a protective measure. If alarm sounds, turn Inverter OFF and reduce wattage load
(by unplugging high-wattage devices).
