inverter. Operate inverter
without load for a few
minutes. Reconnect load.
Tighten all DC connections.
Recharge battery. Remove
load from inverter while
recharging battery.
appliance is drawing too
much voltage and will not
work with this inverter.
Make the load not purely
inductive (i.e., operate an
incandescent lamp at the
same time as power tool).
Keep inverter and antenna
distant from each other.
Use shielded antenna.
Connect antenna to
amplifier.
