400W Power Inverter OWNER’S MANUAL Model number-457400 THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS NPOWER PRODUCT. ALL NPOWER PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this NPower power inverter, a high performance solution to using household power while on the road. Connected to a 12V volt outlet, the inverter efficiently and reliably supplies 110V/60Hz AC power for a wide variety of loads, such as TV sets, gaming systems, cell phones and portable entertainment devices.
Connect the unit to only to 12V DC power supplies (6V is too low, and 24V will damage the unit). Do not insert any foreign objects into the unit outlets, vents or fan openings. Do not expose the unit to rain, water or any other liquid. Do not connect the unit to any utility power distribution systems or branch circuits.
