Page 5: Important Information
Notes: Your Whistler inverter is designed to operate from a 12 volt power source only. Never attempt to connect your Whistler inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source. -
Page 6: Don't Push It
Page 11 INVERTER BASICS Don’t Push It. Although your Whistler inverter has the capacity to provide power output (excess current) equal to approximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very brief period, it is designed to operate equipment and appliances with start up load wattage ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattage rating. -

Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the Whistler warranty. • Making the connection between the Positive (+) terminals may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to the capacitors in the inverter. - Page 8 pro800w.qxp 4/30/2010 9:00 AM Page 15 OPERATION Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the shortest practical length of 18 AWG wire. Selection of the grounding point will depend on where you are using the inverter.

Consequently, these meters will not read the RMS modified sine wave voltage correctly and, when measuring your Whistler inverter output, the meters will read about 20 to 30 volts too low. To accurately measure the output voltage of your inverter, use a true RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke 87, Fluke 8060A, Beckman 4410, Triplett 4200 or any multimeter identified as "True RMS."... -
Page 13: Operation Summary
Page 25 OPERATION SUMMARY In Review. • Never attempt to operate your Whistler inverter from any power source other than a 12 volt battery or series of batteries that total 12 volts. • This inverter is designed to be connected to the power source with the supplied cables or larger cables that properly match the distance from the battery. -
