4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE CONVERTER
IMPORTANT: Make sure you connect your converter only to a 12V power supply
(ordinarily an automotive battery).
1. Remove the protective cover from the accessory outlet in the vehicle
passenger compartment.
2. Push the 12 volt power plug firmly into the outlet.
ATTENTION: Failure to make the correct connections will result in blown fuses and
permanent damage to the converter.
3. The LED indicator lights should glow GREEN, verifying the converter is
receiving power.
4. Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.
5. Plug the device into the converter's AC outlet or USB port.
6. Turn the device on.
7. To disconnect, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: If more than one device is to be powered, start one device at a time, to avoid a
power surge and overloading the converter. The surge load of each device should not
exceed the converter's Continuous Operation wattage rate.

5. POWER SOURCE

Your average automobile or marine battery at full charge will provide an ample
power supply to the converter for approximately 2 hours when the engine is off.
The actual length of time the converter will function depends on the age and
condition of the battery and the power demand being placed by the device being
operated with the converter.
Before starting the engine after using the converter with the engine off, turn OFF the
device plugged into the converter and disconnect the converter plug from the 12 volt
accessory outlet. To maintain battery power, start the engine every 1 to 2 hours and
let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
Although it is not necessary to disconnect the converter when turning over the
engine, it may briefly cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. While the
converter draws very low amperage when not in use, unplug it to avoid battery drain.
