12. Crimp or clamp ring terminals of the negative (–) and positive (+) cables (going to the battery), but do not connect
to the battery yet.
13. Connect the stripped, soldered (longer) end of the positive (+) cable to the red stud marked (+) on the inverter
and tighten the retaining nut.
14. Connect the stripped, soldered end of the negative (–) cable to the black stud marked (–) on the inverter and
tighten the retaining nut.
15. Connect the other (long) end of the (+) positive cable to one terminal of the heavy-duty fuse holder.
16. Connect the other conductor of the heavy-duty fuse holder to the (short) positive (+) battery terminal.
17. Connect the other end of the (–) negative cablewith the ring terminal to the negative (–) battery terminal.
18. Connect an appropriate insulated wire (refer to the "Specifications" section of this Instruction Manual) between
the chassis grounding screw on the inverter's case and a solid electrical ground to minimize possible electrical
noise in TV and radio reception. Do not connect this wire to the negative DC input terminal.
19. Ensure that all electrical connections have been tightened.
20. Insert the fuse into the fuse holder. There may be some sparking.
21. Ensure the 12 volt DC power source has an adequate charge.
22. Turn the inverter on and apply a test load to the 120 volt AC outlets.
* Ring terminals are not included and must be supplied by user.
If, after following all of the above steps, the inverter does not perform properly, the source voltage may be too low
or the cables may be too long (or the gauge too light). Having checked and corrected these conditions, if necessary,
refer to the "Service Information" section of this Instruction Manual for assistance if problems persist.
CAUTION
• 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 inverters 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

CAUTION: Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed your inverter's
maximum continuous power.

Operation of the 115 Volt AC Outlets

This unit features two 115 volt AC GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protected outlets, that function in the same
way as GFCI outlets you would typically use in your home. GFC outlets are intended to protect equipment by
interrupting the circuit if current leakage exceeds 30 mA of current within 25 milliseconds.
1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12 volt DC power source as described in this Instruction Manual. Make
sure there is adequate space for proper ventilation of the inverter.
2. Press the Power Pushbutton to turn the unit ON.
3. The Power/Fault LED Indicator will light green, indicating a proper connection. If the Power/Fault LED Indicator
lights red, indicating a fault condition exists, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of this Instruction Manual.
4. Plug the (110/120 volt AC) appliance into one of the Inverter's three-prong AC outlets and operate normally.
Note: The Inverter will not operate appliances and equipment that generate heat, such as hair dryers, electric blankets,
microwave ovens and toasters.
Remember to disconnect the inverter from any power source when not in use.

Operation of the USB Charging Port

1. Connect the inverter to a functioning 12 volt DC power source as described in this Instruction Manual. Make
sure there is adequate space for proper ventilation of the inverter.
2. Press the Power Pushbutton to turn the unit ON.
3. The Power/Fault LED Indicator will light green, indicating a proper connection. If the the Power/Fault LED lights
red, indicating a fault condition exists, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of this Instruction Manual.
4. Plug the USB-powered device into the inverter's USB Charging Port and operate normally.
Note:
This unit's USB Charging Port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/300mA DC power to an
external USB-powered device.
Remember to disconnect the inverter from any power source when not in use.

Notes on Using the Remote Control (sold separately)

The manufacturer offers (as a separate item) a Remote Control specifically designed for this line of inverters. The
inverter On/Off Switch must be in the off position when connecting the Remote Control to the unit or the Remote
Control will not operate. Once the unit has been turned on using the Remote Control, inverter operation will continue
to be controlled through the Remote Control. Turn the inverter off before disconnecting the Remote Control. For more
information about attaching and using the Remote Control, please refer to the Remote Control Instruction Manual.
