  • Press and hold the power button for a few seconds.
• No AC Output:
  • Ensure the AC power switch is pressed and the AC indicator is lit on the LCD screen.
  • Check if the connected device's power consumption exceeds 1000W. Disconnect high-power devices.
  • If the unit has been idle with a low load for an extended period (approx. 90 minutes), the low-load protection may have activated. Turn the AC output off and then on again.
  • Check for short circuits in the connected device or cable.
  • If the unit feels excessively hot, over-temperature protection may have activated. Allow the unit to cool down in a well-ventilated area.
• No USB/DC Output:
  • Ensure the main unit is powered on.
  • Check the connected device and cable for faults.
• Slow Charging:
  • When charging via solar panel, ensure the panel is in direct sunlight and not obstructed.
