pro1200to3000w.qxp 4/30/2010 8:55 AM OPERATION • Check frequently to ensure that the input and output connections are secure. Loose connections may damage the inverter, the power source, or may generate excessive heat. To generate the maximum output, the Pro-3000W watt model (for example) should be connected to a power supply which has the capacity to produce up to 300 amps. - Page 11 pro1200to3000w.qxp 4/30/2010 8:55 AM OPERATION 2. Change the relative positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power cord. 3.
