5. Setup and Installation
Before connecting the inverter, ensure your vehicle's engine is off and the inverter's power switch is in the "OFF" position.
5.1 Connecting via Cigarette Lighter Adapter (Up to 150W)
- Insert the cigarette lighter adapter into the inverter's DC input port.
- Plug the cigarette lighter adapter firmly into your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket.
- Ensure the connection is secure. This method is suitable for loads up to 150W.

5.2 Connecting Directly to Battery (Up to 300W)
For loads exceeding 150W or to utilize the full 300W capacity, connect the inverter directly to your vehicle's battery using the provided battery clamp cables.
- Connect the red battery clamp cable to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the black battery clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the red battery clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery.
- Connect the black battery clamp to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

6. Operating Instructions
- After connecting the inverter to the 12V DC power source (cigarette lighter or battery), switch the inverter's power button to the "ON" position. The indicator light should illuminate.
- Plug your AC-powered device into the inverter's AC outlet or your USB-powered device into one of the USB ports.
- Turn on your device.
- When finished, turn off your device, then switch the inverter's power button to "OFF", and finally disconnect it from the power source.
Important Considerations:
- Always ensure the total wattage of all connected devices does not exceed 300W.
- For optimal performance and to prevent battery drain, it is recommended to operate the inverter with the vehicle's engine running, especially when powering higher-wattage devices.
- The inverter may emit a slight humming sound, which is normal. The cooling fan will activate as needed.
7. Maintenance
- Keep the inverter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe the exterior.
- Ensure ventilation openings are not obstructed.
- Regularly check all connections for tightness and corrosion.
- Store the inverter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- If a fuse blows, replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating (refer to specifications).
