INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING:
Before using the device read all the instructions
carefully.
WARNING
1 - This converter operates when connected to any cigar-
lighter socket: of a car, of a boat, of a Telwin Jump-Start
or Speed Start with 12Vdc output voltage and it
supplies an alternating voltage of 230Vac. It is suitable
for powering electrical and electronic appliances such
as power supplies for: mobile phones, computers,
cameras, video cameras, lighting devices etc.
2 - Do not power at 6Vdc or at 24Vdc
3 - Do not use the converter for long periods with the
vehicle engine switched off; it may discharge the
battery completely
4 - Switch off the appliances connected to the 230Vac
socket of the converter before taking the plug out of the
cigar-lighter socket
5 - Replace the fuse only and exclusively with fuses of the
same size. Using fuses taking more current may cause
permanent damage to the converter and the cigar-
lighter socket in the vehicle.
6 - Make sure that the contacts in the cigar-lighter socket of
the vehicle are clean and dust-free; imperfect electrical
connections may produce harmful, dangerous heat at
the contact point.
7 - This converter supplies an alternating voltage of
230Vac; there is a danger of electric shock. Do not
insert metal objects that conduct electricity into the
outlet sockets.
8 -
Keep out of reach of children
9 - Make sure that the converter ventilation slots are not
obstructed during use; the surrounding temperature
should be between 10°C and 40°C
10 - Do not leave the converter in the sun when in operation
11 - Protect it from water
12 - It is not suitable for powering appliances designed to
produce heat such as: hairdryers, coffee machines,
irons, electric stoves, toasters etc.
13 - Do not use the converter near inflammable material or
in places where inflammable gas or fumes have
accumulated such as in vehicles near the battery
seating.
14 - Do not open the case of the converter for any reason
whatsoever

When the converter has triggered due to overload the
output will automatically be switched off; to restore
operation it is necessary to reduce the absorbed power.
INSTALLATION and OPERATION
Insert the converter plug into the cigar-lighter socket of the
vehicle, of the boat or of the T elwin Jump-Start or Speed
Start, making sure that the voltage is 12Vdc; it is also
possible to connect two cables with corresponding crocodile
clips to be attached directly to the terminals of a 12Vdc
battery as shown in fig.A. T urn the converter switch to the
"ON" position. Insert the plug of the appliance to be powered
into the output socket of the converter. This converter is able
to supply a continuous power output of 300W and a peak
power of 600W. The inside of the converter contains an
overload relay that triggers when the maximum available
power is exceeded. When the converter has triggered due to
overload the output will automatically be switched off; to
restore operation it is necessary to reduce the absorbed
power.
The converter is fitted with a 15A safety fuse, which is
situated in the cigar-lighter plug, and this could blow in the
event of overload; to replace the fuse see the fig. B. There
are also two fuses situated in the back of the container, see
fig. C.
The converter absorbs a very low current; nevertheless, we
advise disconnecting it from the cigar-lighter socket if the
vehicle or Jump-Start remains unused for over 24 hours.
