Slim Line Power Inverters by Wagan Tech

RECOMMENDATIONS
• If the power inverter makes a beeping sound, turn OFF the inverter,
disconnect all appliances from the inverter and disconnect the inverter
from the power supply. The beeping sound is the low battery warning that
indicates that the voltage of the battery power supply is getting low. Please
restart the vehicle engine to charge the battery before using it to operate
the inverter again.
• When you are not using the inverter, turn the power switch to OFF. This
conserves battery power.
OPER ATING TIPS
ADDING AN EXTENSION CORD
If you need an extension cord, we recommend the use of an extension cord
between the AC output of the inverter and the AC appliances. You may use up
to 100 feet of high quality, heavy-duty extension cord. A longer cord will result
in reduced power to appliances.
BUZZ IN AUDIO SYSTEMS
Some stereo systems and boom boxes will emit a buzzing noise from their
loudspeakers when operated from the power inverter because the power supply
in the device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the
power inverter. The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a
higher quality power supply.
TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
Operating the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some
channels. If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the
problem:
• Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching
television.
• Make sure the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate static-
free signal and you are using good quality cable between the antenna and
the television.
• Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.

User's Manual—Read before using this equipment
• Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as
possible and twist them together with about 2 to 3 twists per foot. This
minimizes radiated interference from the cables.
• Ferrite beads may be installed around battery cables and AC appliance
cords to reduce noise.
MAINTENANCE
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating properly.
Periodically check to ensure all terminals and connectors are secure and tight.
HEAT DISPERSAL
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is not a malfunction. However,
if the inverter gets too hot while working, it will turn off by itself. Position the inverter
where air flows freely around it to allow the heat to disperse. The inverter's thermal
protection prevents it from operating when its temperature exceeds 130ºF ± 10ºF
(55ºC ± 5ºC).
