NOTE: In case the power is supplied to the different AC loads, it is suggested to turn on the loads with larger surge current, till the load working well, then turn on the loads with smaller surge current. NOTE: In case the inverter/charger is not in normal operation, or LCD or indicator displays abnormal, refer to Section 5 to clear the fault or contact the after-sale service personnel of our company.
