Safety Information
WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING OF THE INVERTER.
Exceeding the 150W continuous power or 300W peak power can damage the inverter, your vehicle's electrical system, or the connected devices. Always check the wattage requirements of your devices before connecting them. The inverter includes a multi-protection system against over voltage, low voltage, overload, short circuit, over heat, and over charge. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid operating the inverter in wet conditions or with wet hands.

Setup
- Vehicle Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle has a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket. The inverter is designed for 12V systems.
- Insert the Plug: Firmly insert the inverter's cigarette lighter plug into your vehicle's 12V DC accessory socket.
- Power On: Press the ON/OFF switch on the inverter. The LED indicator will illuminate, confirming the inverter is powered on and ready for use.
- Placement: Place the inverter in a location that allows for adequate ventilation and does not obstruct driving. The compact size allows it to fit in most cup holders or console areas.
Operating Instructions
- Connecting AC Devices: Plug your 110V AC devices into any of the three standard AC outlets. Ensure the total wattage of connected AC devices does not exceed 150W continuously.
- Connecting USB Devices: Use the two 2.4A USB ports to charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices. The smart identification technology delivers optimal charging speed.
- Using the Cigarette Lighter Socket: The inverter also provides an additional DC cigarette lighter socket, allowing you to connect another 12V DC accessory if needed.
- Monitoring: Observe the LED indicator for operational status. If the indicator changes or the device shuts off, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter not turning on | Loose connection, vehicle ignition off, blown fuse in vehicle or inverter. | Ensure plug is firmly inserted. Turn vehicle ignition on. Check vehicle's fuse box and inverter's internal fuse (if accessible and user-serviceable). |
| Devices not charging | Device power consumption too high, faulty cable, inverter in protection mode. | Verify device wattage is within 150W limit. Try a different charging cable. Disconnect all devices, turn inverter off and on again. |
| Overheating | Blocked ventilation, excessive load. | Clear any obstructions from the fan and vents. Reduce the number or wattage of connected devices. |
| Low voltage warning | Vehicle battery low. | Start the vehicle engine to recharge the battery. |
