8. Do not use the inverter near an open
engine compartment where fumes may
accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacles in
any way.
USING THE INVERTER
It is important to know the continuous wattage
of the device you plan to use with the inverter.
The Instant Power must be used with devices
drawing 200 watts or less. If the wattage is
not marked on the device, use only devices
that draw less than 1.7 amps of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors
require additional power to start (commonly
known as the "starting or peak power"). The
Instant Power can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however even devices
rated less than the maximum 200 watts can
exceed the inverter's surge capability and
cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the inverter with a product that
draws a higher wattage than the inverter can
provide, as this may cause damage to the
inverter and the product.
Make sure the device you are using is
compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.
CAUTION: Always run a test to establish
whether the inverter will operate a particular
piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the inverter
is designed to automatically shut down. This
safety feature prevents damaging the
inverter while testing devices and equipment
with the 200-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start one
device at a time to avoid a power surge
and/or inverter overload. The surge load of
each device should not exceed the inverter's
Continuous Operation wattage rate.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the power
inverter to operate any type of battery
charger, monitor the temperature of the
battery charger for about 10 minutes. If
the battery charger becomes abnormally
warm, disconnect it from the inverter
immediately.
You can use an extension cord from the
inverter to the device without significantly
decreasing the power being generated by
the inverter. For best operating results, the
extension cord should be 16 AWG (1.31
mm ) or larger and no longer than 50 feet.

IMPORTANT: This inverter uses a modified
sine waveform, which is not quite the same
as power company electricity. For the
following devices, we strongly recommend
that you use caution and check the device's
manual to make sure it is compatible with
modified sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line filter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high-intensity lamps
(with a ballast)
9. Transformerless battery chargers
Using the inverter with any of these
devices may cause the device to run
warmer or overheat.
POWERING A 120V AC DEVICE
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely on
the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the AC
power outlet on the front panel of the
Instant Power.
3. Make sure the 120V AC device to be
operated is turned OFF.
4. Plug the 120V AC device into the AC
power outlet, and turn the Inverter switch
to the ON position. NOTE: When the
inverter is turned on and being used, the
display will show the total wattage used by
the device being powered by the inverter.
5. Turn the device on.
6. If the device does not operate properly
when first connected to the inverter,
push the inverter rocker switch ON,
OFF, and ON again in quick succession.
If this procedure is not successful, it is
likely that the inverter does not have the
required capacity to operate the device
intended.
7. Charge the Instant Power as soon as
possible after each use.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your inverter may
result in damage and personal injury. The
inverter output is 120V AC and can shock or
electrocute the same as any ordinary
household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is 200
watts. Do not use the inverter with a product
that draws more than 200 watts, as this may
cause damage to the inverter and the product.
