Setup and Connection
The inverter offers two primary methods for power input:
Method 1: Using a 12V Battery (for up to 300W output)
- Plug the XT90 connector of the battery alligator clip cable into the inverter's input port.
- Connect the red battery clip to the positive (+) pole of the 12V battery and the black battery clip to the negative (-) pole.
- Turn on the inverter using the power button.

Method 2: Using a 12V Car Cigarette Lighter (for up to 150W output)
- Plug the XT90 connector of the cigarette lighter cable into the inverter's input port.
- Plug the other end of the cable (cigarette lighter connector) into your car's 12V cigarette lighter socket.
- Turn on the inverter using the power button.
Note: When using the cigarette lighter connection, the maximum rated power output is limited to 150W. The inverter automatically detects the power limit of the cigar lighter.

Operating Instructions
Powering Devices
Once the inverter is connected to a power source and turned on, you can connect your devices to the available output ports:
- AC Outlets: For devices requiring 220V AC power (e.g., laptops, small appliances).
- USB-A Port: For charging USB-compatible devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets).
- Type-C Port: For fast charging Type-C compatible devices.
Important: Ensure the total rated power of connected devices does not exceed 300W (or 150W when using the cigarette lighter connection).

Device Compatibility
The inverter is designed for devices under 300W. Examples include drones, digital cameras, car fridges, electric heating containers, light bulbs, speakers, laptops, and cell phones. It is NOT suitable for devices exceeding 300W, such as microwave ovens, barbecue grills, ovens, impact drills, hair dryers, heating equipment, washing machines, or air conditioning units.
Figure 8: Device compatibility guide.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your inverter:
- Keep the inverter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Ensure proper ventilation. Do not block the cooling fan or air vents.
- Store the inverter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid exposing the inverter to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.
Cooling System
The inverter features a high-speed noiseless cooling fan. When the operating temperature exceeds 50°C, the fan will automatically activate to protect the product. It is normal to hear some wind noise during operation at higher temperatures. The fan will stop running once the internal temperature cools down.

Troubleshooting
The inverter is equipped with multiple protection features and a malfunction warning system. If an error occurs, an error code will be displayed on the digital screen.
| Error Code | Description | Possible Solution |
|---|---|---|
| E01 | Input Over-Voltage Protection | Check the input voltage from the car battery/cigarette lighter. Ensure it is within the 12V DC range. |
| E02 | Input Under-Voltage Protection | Check the car battery voltage. Recharge or replace the battery if it's too low. |
| E05 | Output Over-Load Protection | Reduce the total power of connected devices. Ensure it does not exceed 300W (or 150W for cigarette lighter). |
| E06 | Output Short Circuit Protection | Disconnect all output devices and check for any short circuits in the cables or devices. |
| E07 | Output Under-Voltage Protection | Ensure the inverter is receiving sufficient input power. Check connections. |
| E08 | Output Over-Voltage Protection | Disconnect devices and restart the inverter. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| E09 | Over-Temperature Protection | Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure proper ventilation and clear any obstructions from the fan/vents. |
