Operating instructions
Power source requirements
The power source must provide 12 Vdc and must be able to
supply the necessary current to operate the load.
Warning! The power converter must be connected only to
batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 Volts. The
appliance will not operate from a 6 Volt battery and will
sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 Volt battery.
Connection to a power source.
The power converter comes equipped with a 12 Vdc
accessory plug (4) for connection to a dc power source.
Connecting to a power source using the 12 Vdc
accessory plug (fig. A - C)
The tip of the plug is positive (+) and the side contact is
negative (-).
Unfold the 12 Vdc accessory plug (4) from the body of
the stick to one of the 5 preset positions.
Connect the power converter to the power source by
inserting the 12 Vdc accessory plug (4) firmly into the
accessory outlet of a vehicle or other dc power source.
The green LED (3) will light when a good connection is
made.
Lift the USB cover (2) to allow access to one or both of
the USB ports (1).
Plug the USB connector from the equipment you wish to
operate into the USB port (1) and run the appliance as
normal.
Note: Some data cables provided by your mobile phone
manufacturer do not support charging from a standard USB
outlet. Check with your mobile phone manufacturer for a
suitable charging cable.
Note: You can operate two USB devices simultaneously.
Warning! Do not use with positive ground electrical
systems, (i.e older vehicles).
Warning! A reverse polarity connection will result in a blown
fuse and may cause permanent damage to the power
converter.
The power converter may be used whether or not the
vehicles engine is running. However, the power converter
may not operate while the engine is starting because the
battery voltage can drop substantially during cranking.
Warning! Loose connectors may cause overheated wires
and melted insulation. Check to make sure you have not
reversed the polarity. Damage due to reversed polarity is not
covered by our guarantee.
Protective features of the power converter
Your appliance monitors the following potentially hazardous
conditions:
Low voltage protection. This condition is not harmful
to the appliance but could damage the power source.
The appliance will automatically shut down when the
input voltage drops to 10.5 +/- 0.5 Vdc. The charger will
automatically reset when the voltage improves to
11.5 V.
Short circuit protection. A reverse polarity or short
circuit condition may cause external or internal fuses to
open and may cause irreversible damage to the
appliance. Take extra care to insure a correct polarity
connection.
Overload protection. The power inverter will
automatically shut down when the continuous load
exceeds the rated wattage. When the overload is
removed, reset the appliance by removing the 12 Vdc
accessory plug and re-insert the 12 vdc accessory plug.
Hints for optimum use
For best results, the appliance should be placed on a flat
and/or solid surface. The appliance should only be used in
locations that meet the following criteria:
DRY - Do not allow water or other liquids to come into
contact with the appliance.
COOL - The surrounding air temperature should be
between 4°C and 40°C (39°F and 105°F). Ideally
between 15°C and 25°C (60°F and 80°F). Keep the
appliance away from direct sunlight, when possible.
WELL VENTILATED - Keep the area surrounding the
appliance clear to ensure free air circulation.
Do not place items on or over the appliance during
operation. The appliance will shut down if the internal
temperature gets too hot.
SAFE - Do not use the appliance near flammable
materials or in any locations that may accumulate
flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical
appliance that can briefly spark when electrical
connections are made or broken.
Troubleshooting
If the green LED indicator (3) is not lit:
Check that all the dc connections are connected
correctly.
Check the tightness of the dc connections.
Note: Make sure that your accessory outlet is live. You may
need to turn the ignition key to the accessory position.
If the red LED indicator (3) is lit, one of the following
conditions has occurred:
Low voltage protection.
