5. Setup Instructions
5.1. Connecting to a 12V Battery
- Ensure the inverter's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter and the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the inverter and the negative (-) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent overheating.
- If using the remote control, plug its cable into the remote control port on the inverter's front panel.

6. Operating Instructions
- After connecting the inverter to the battery, press the Power ON/OFF switch on the inverter (or use the remote control) to turn it on. The LED power indicator should light up.
- Plug your AC devices into the dual 110V/120V AC outlets. For USB-powered devices, use the 5V/2.1A USB output.
- Ensure the total wattage of your connected devices does not exceed 600W.
- To turn off the inverter, press the Power ON/OFF switch (or use the remote control).
7. Safety Precautions
- Proper Ventilation: Do not put the inverter into direct sunlight. Keep it in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to prevent overheating. The intelligent cooling fan will activate as needed.
- Correct Voltage: Connect the inverter to a 12V battery only. Ensure the battery is fully charged when using.
- Load Limits: Do not use the inverter with products that draw a higher wattage than it can provide (600W continuous, 1200W peak), as this may cause damage to both the inverter and the product.
- Vehicle Use: Do not leave the power inverter in the ON position while your car is off to prevent draining the car battery.
- Wiring: Always disconnect the positive battery terminal before doing any wiring to the inverter. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). Fuses will blow if battery cables are reverse connected.
- Overload Reset: If an overload condition occurs (601W-750W), the inverter will automatically shut down with a long beeping sound and a red indicator. You will need to power Off/On to reset it.
