6. Maintenance

• Keep the inverter clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior.
• Avoid exposing the device to water, rain, or excessive moisture.
• Ensure the cooling fan vents are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.
• Store the inverter in a cool, dry place when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power / Indicator Light Off:
  • Check that the inverter's DC plug is firmly seated in the vehicle's 12V DC outlet.
  • Ensure the vehicle's engine is running, as some 12V outlets only provide power when the engine is on.
  • Inspect your vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse related to the 12V DC outlet. Replace if necessary.
• Device Not Charging / Powering:
  • Verify that the power consumption of your device is within the inverter's 150W continuous power limit.
  • Check the charging cable of your device for any damage or loose connections.
• Overheating / Fan Noise:
  • The intelligent cooling fan will activate and may increase speed when the inverter heats up, which is normal.
  • If the device feels excessively hot or produces unusual noises, disconnect it immediately and allow it to cool down. Reduce the load if possible.
