Page 8: Important Safety Information
2 Important Safety Information Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Pocket inverter may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and Warning statements in the guide. Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life. - Page 9 WARNING The Pocket inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under extended high power operation. During operation, keep it away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures. WARNING Do not use the Pocket inverter in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks.
- Page 10 WARNING: Shock hazard Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong can slip outside the inverter and become a shock hazard.
- Page 11 CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the Pocket inverter. Do not use the inverter with the following appliances: • Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

Page 22: Battery Operating Time
Battery Operating Time Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level drawn by the particular AC load, USB load, or combination of both. With a typical vehicle battery and a 130 W load, an operating time of 2 to 2.5 hours or more can be expected. - Page 23 Buzzing sound in audio systems and radios Some inexpensive stereo systems and AM-FM radios have inadequate internal power supply filtering and “buzz” slightly when powered by the Pocket inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio product with a higher quality filter. Television interference The Pocket inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals.
