CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting the DeWALT® 20V battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (P) into the charger (S),
as shown in Figure 3, making sure the pack is
fully seated in charger. The red (charging) light will blink continuously,
indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left in the charger.
Your inverter is engineered to have standard electrical and electronic
equipment directly connected to it in the manner described in this
Instruction Manual. Do not connect the inverter to household or RV AC
distribution wiring. Do not connect the inverter to any AC load circuit
in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to
the negative of the DC (battery) power source.
Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to
operate than resistive loads of the same wattage rating. Induction
motors, as well as some TVs, may require two to six times their rated
wattage to start up. Because these inverters have a peak watt power
rating, many such appliances and tools may be safely operated. The
equipment that needs the highest starting wattage are pumps and
compressors that start under load. This equipment can be safely tested.
If an overload is detected, the inverter will simply shut down until the
overload situation is corrected. Use the power button to turn off the
inverter, then on again to reset it.
Protective Features
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Input voltage Too low when the unit is powered by battery
clamps or 12VDC adapter plug: This condition is not harmful to
the inverter, but could damage the power source, so the inverter will
automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10.5 ± 0.5
volts DC.
Thermal Shutdown Protection: The inverter will automatically shut
P
down when the unit becomes overheated.
Overload/Short Circuit Protection: The inverter will automatically
shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.
S
Refer to "Power and Fault Indicators on the LCD Display" for an
explanation of the icons that indicate a fault condition before shutdown.
To restart the unit, simply unplug all devices plugged into the inverter;
disconnect the inverter from any power source; then reconnect the
inverter BEFORE plugging the appliance(s) back in.
The DeWALT® 20V Battery Pack is overheated or is too cold: The
inverter will automatically shut down when the DeWALT® 20V Battery
Pack is overheated or is too cold.

Indicates that the unit is connected
properly through battery clamps and is
ready to use. The AC Outlet Icon, 12VDC
Input Icon and the USB Icon light solid
and the Digital Readout shows "0W".
The bars on the Battery Icon represent
