Connecting to a Power Source Using the 12 Volt DC Vehicle Adapter Plug with "O" Ring Connectors
The DC Accessory Outlet Plug is suitable for operating the converter at power outputs up to 100 watts.
1. Check to make sure the converter' s On/Off switch has been turned off (the power/fault LED is not lit).
2. Turn the red plastic cap (counterclockwise) on the converter' s positive (+) cable post and remove. Attach the positive "O"ring at the end of the
red 12 volt DC vehicle adapter cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
3. Turn the black plastic cap on the converter' s negative (–) cable post counterclockwise and remove. Attach the negative "O"ring at the end of
the black 12 volt DC vehicle adapter cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
4. Connect the 12 volt DC vehicle adapter plug to a vehicle' s accessory outlet or other 12 volt DC power source. Make sure there is adequate space
for proper ventilation of the converter.
5. Rotate the unit slightly to make sure there is good contact.
CAUTIONS
• Connect directly to power source using the included Battery Clips when operating above 100 watts.
• Do not use with positive ground electrical systems.
• Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the converter.
Note:
Most vehicle accessory outlet circuits have fuses rated at 15 to 20 amps or greater. To operate at full wattage, either use the supplied battery clips or directly
wire to the power source with wire and fuse (NOT SUPPLIED).
Connecting to a Power Source Using the Supplied Battery Clips with "O" Ring Connectors
Use the provided battery clips (with cables and "O"ring connectors) to connect the converter directly to the 12 volt power source as follows:
1. Check to make sure the converter' s On/Off switch has been turned off (the power/fault LED is not lit) and that no flammable fumes are present
in the installation area.
2. Turn the red plastic cap (counterclockwise) on the converter' s positive (+) cable post and remove. Attach the positive "O"ring at the end of the
red battery clip cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
3. Turn the black plastic cap (counterclockwise) on the converter' s negative (–) cable post and remove. Attach the negative "O"ring at the end of
the black battery clip cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
4. Make sure that all connections between cables and terminals are secure.
Direct Hardwiring to Power Source (optional connection method; hardware not included)
Use #10 AWG wire if the converter to power source connection is 10 feet or less. For longer cable lengths use #8 AWG wire. In either case, protect
the positive (+) wire from shorts by installing a 50 amp fuse or circuit breaker close to the DC power source (battery) terminal.
PROCEDURE
1. Check to make sure the converter' s On/Off switch has been turned off (the power/fault LED is not lit) and that no flammable fumes are present
in the installation area.
2. Identify the positive (+) and negative (–) DC power source (battery) terminals.
3. Install a fuse holder or breaker close to the positive (+) terminal of the DC source (battery).
4. Connect a length of wire on one side of the fuse holder or circuit breaker. Connect the other end of the wire to the positive (+) terminal of the
converter.
5. Connect a length of wire between the converter' s negative (–) terminal and the DC power source negative (–) terminal.
6. Connect a short length of wire to the other terminal of the fuse holder or circuit breaker. Mark it "positive"or "+".
7. Connect the free end of the fuse or breaker wire to the positive (+) terminal of the DC power source (battery).
8. Insert a fuse appropriate to the converter in the fuse holder.
9. Test the converter by turning it on and plugging in a 100 watt lamp or equipment.
10. If the converter is not properly operating, then refer to the "Troubleshooting"section of this manual.
CAUTIONS: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
• Loose connectors may cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
• Check to make sure you have not reversed the polarity. Damage due to reversed polarity is not covered by manufacturer' s warranty.
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from converters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power.
Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge. Marine installations are also
subjected to vibration and stresses that exceed those of other mobile installations. Therefore, the installer/operator should be especially aware of
the requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance
wiring. Cable insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The power/fault LED indicator lights solid when the converter is properly connected to a functioning DC power source. The AC and USB outlets are
ready to use. (If the power/fault LED indicator flashes, refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this Instruction Manual.)

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Always connect the converter to the 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices into the unit.
The standard North American 120 volt AC and USB outlets allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices. Simply plug the 110/120 volt AC
appliance into one of the converter' s three-prong AC outlet and/or plug the USB-powered device into the converter' s USB charging port and
operate normally.
Notes: Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged into the converter does not exceed 500 watts continuous.
If the converter does not work when using the vehicle accessory outlet, make sure the ignition/accessory switch is actually powering the accessory outlet.
Some vehicles require the ignition switch to be turned on.
The converter will not operate appliances and equipment that generate heat, such as hair dryers, electric blankets, microwave ovens and toasters.
This converter' s USB Charging Port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-powered device.
Remember to turn the unit off and disconnect from any power source when it is not in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
1. Ideal storage temperature range is 0-40°C (32-104°F).
2. Store and use the converter in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation for all-around air circulation.
3. Avoid locations that are exposed to heating units, radiators, direct sunlight, or excessive humidity or dampness.
Fuse Replacement (in Vehicle Accessory Outlet Plug)
If the converter is overloaded, and the green LED is not lit, the internal 10 amp fuse may be blown.
1. Unscrew the flange of the plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove the end contact, flange and fuse.
3. Inspect the fuse to see if it is good or blown.
4. Replace with a new 10 amp fuse, if needed.
5. Carefully reassemble the fuse, end contact and flange. Do not overtighten the flange (clockwise).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Audio Problems
Buzzing Sound In Audio Systems
Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes make a buzzing sound when operated from the converter, because the power supply in the
electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave produced by the converter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound
system that has a higher quality power supply.
Television Interference
The converter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some instances, some interference may still occur, particularly
where TV signals are weak. Try the following corrective measures:
• Place the converter as far as possible from the television, the antenna and the antenna cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.
• Readjust the orientation of the converter, the antenna cables and the TV power cord to minimize interference.
• Make sure the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate ("snow free") signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
• Do not use the converter to operate high-power appliances or tools at the same time you are using it to operate the TV.
Common Power Output Problems
Input voltage below 10.5 volts
Recharge auto battery or check DC power supply.
Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to maximum 500 watts.
Converter in thermal shutdown condition
Allow converter to cool down. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that the load is no more than 500 watts for continuous
operation.
AC output is shorted
Unplug the AC appliance. Turn off the converter. Disconnect the unit from any 12 volt DC power source. Check the appliance cord.
