Using The Inverter To Operate A Tv Or Audio Appliance - Schumacher Electric PI-750 Owner's Manual

generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the
extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
The LED Indicator briefly flashing when you first turn the
inverter oN, is a sign if that there is a short circuit within
the power supply. Turn the inverter oFF. Turn the inverter
oN again. If this does not remedy the problem try using a
different 12-volt power source.

Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Appliance

The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal
interference. Despite this, some interference may occur
with your television picture, especially with weak signals.
Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception.
Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal
under normal operating conditions (i.e., at home plugged
into a standard 110 AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the
antenna cable is adequately shielded and of good quality.
Try altering the positions of the inverter, antenna cables,
and television power cord. Add an extension cord from
the inverter to the TV so as to isolate its power cord and
antenna cables from the 12-volt power source. Try coil-
ing the television power cord and the input cables running
from the 12-volt power source to the inverter. Affix one or
several "Ferrite Data line Filters" to the television power
cord. Ferrite Data line Filters can be purchased at most
electronic supply stores including Radio Shack - Part
Number 273-105. Try grounding the inverter with an 18
AWG (minimum) wire, using as short a length as possible.
