OWNER’S MANUAL Power Inverter PI-100SL Converts DC Battery Power to AC Household Power Includes 12 Volt Accessory Plug with Airplane Adaptor CAUTION: Read all Safety Rules and Operating Instructions, and follow them with each use of this product. Schumacher Electric Corporation Mount Prospect, IL 60056 U.S.A.
IMPORTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before using your PI-100SL, read and understand this Owner’s Manual. • Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly dis- perse heat generated while it is in use. Make sure there are several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter.

BEfORE USING PI-100SL POWER INVERTER It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PI-100SL must be used with devices drawing 100 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiply- ing the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V).

If the LED indicator glows RED, read Troubleshooting. 4. Make sure that the device to be operated is turned OFF. Plug the device into the PI-100SL AC outlet or USB outlet and turn the device on. NOTE: A ‘’buzzing’’ sound emitted from inexpensive sound systems is the result of ineffective filters in the sound system.
12V accessory outlet. To maintain battery power, run the engine every 2 to hours for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery. While the PI-100SL draws very low amperage when not in use, it should be unplugged to avoid battery drain.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: RED LED is on. Reason/Solution 1. Too much power draw. Unplug and reinsert PI-100SL. Use a smaller device or use a larger inverter. 2. Inverter is too hot. Increase ventilation to inverter. Move inverter to a cooler area.
