To start the INVT XG30KTR inverter:

1. Disconnect the DC and AC side circuit breakers before wiring.
2. Wait at least 5 minutes after disconnecting before performing any wiring or checks.
3. Ensure the inverter is reliably grounded.
4. Power on the inverter using DC input.
5. On first startup or after restoring factory settings, select the country on the LCD screen.

You do not need a USB to start the inverter. All initial setup is done using the LCD screen and buttons.
