Operating Instructions - Schumacher Electric XI41B Owner's Manual

1. Connect the converter (see "CONNECTING Converter CABLES" section).
2. Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
3. Plug the device into the converter's AC outlet.
4. Switch the converter's ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Turn the device on.
6. To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time to
avoid a power surge and overloading the converter. The surge load of each device
should not exceed the converter's Continuous Operation wattage rate.
USING THE CONVERTER TO OPERATE A TV OR AUDIO DEVICE:
The converter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite
this, some interference may occur with your television picture, especially with
weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception.
1. Try altering the position of the converter, antenna cables, and television
power cord. Add an extension cord from the converter to the TV so as to
isolate its power cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt power source.
2. Try coiling the television power cord and the input cables running from the
12V power source to the converter.
3. Affix one or several "Ferrite Data Line Filters" to the television power cord.
Ferrite Data Line Filters can be purchased at most electronic supply stores.
NOTE: You may hear a "buzzing" sound being emitted from inexpensive
sound systems when operated with the converter. This is due to ineffective
filters in the sound system's power supply. Unfortunately, this problem can only
be resolved by purchasing a sound system with a higher quality power supply
or higher quality filter.
USING THE USB PORT
The USB port provides up to 2A at 5V DC.
1. Plug the device into the USB port.
2. Turn the USB device on.
3. Reverse these steps when finished using the USB port.
WARNING: The converter draws power, even when the switch is OFF.
To avoid battery drain, disconnect the converter when not in use.
