Setup and Installation

1. Ensure your vehicle's engine is running or the ignition is in the "ACC" position to provide power to the cigarette lighter socket.
2. Insert the inverter's cigarette lighter plug firmly into your vehicle's 12V DC power outlet.
3. The LED power indicator on the inverter should illuminate, indicating it is receiving power.
4. Before connecting any devices, ensure their total power consumption does not exceed 200W.

This image illustrates the power flow: 12V DC input from the vehicle, converting to 110V AC output from the two outlets and 2.4A max output from each of the four USB ports.

Operation

Using AC Outlets:

1. Plug your 110V AC device into one of the inverter's AC outlets.
2. Turn on the inverter using the power switch.
3. Turn on your device.
4. After use, turn off your device, then turn off the inverter, and finally unplug it from the vehicle.

Using USB Ports:

1. Connect your USB-powered device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) to any of the four USB-A ports using a compatible USB cable.
2. The inverter will automatically begin charging your device.
3. The USB ports can deliver up to 2.4A per port, with a total maximum output of 8.4A across all four ports.

Maintenance and Care

• Keep the inverter clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior.
• Ensure the cooling vents are free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow.
• Store the inverter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Do not expose the inverter to extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Inverter not powering on:

• Check if the cigarette lighter plug is fully inserted into the vehicle's 12V outlet.
• Ensure the vehicle's engine is running or ignition is in "ACC" mode.
• Check the vehicle's fuse for the cigarette lighter socket.
• Ensure the inverter's power switch is in the "ON" position.

Device not charging/powering:

• Verify the device's power consumption does not exceed 200W.
• Check if the device's power cable or USB cable is properly connected.
• The inverter may have entered protection mode due to overload, over-temperature, or low/high voltage. Disconnect devices, unplug the inverter, wait a few minutes, and try again.

Inverter fan is noisy:

• The fan activates automatically to cool the unit when it reaches a certain temperature or under heavy load. This is normal operation.
• Ensure vents are not blocked.
