1. Plug the inverter into your vehicle's lighter socket. If the socket is too large, adjust the negative
connectors using the slide control to ensure a snug fit. The (green) LED will light up.
2. Plug an AC product into the three-prong AC receptacle and turn it on. Ensure your product draws
60 watts or less of continuous AC power. To avoid discharging the battery, always remove the
inverter from the lighter socket when not in use.
