Operating Instructions
- Once the inverter is powered on (blue light illuminated), you can connect your devices.
- For AC-powered devices, plug them into the 2 U.S. standard AC outlets. Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed 200W continuous power (or 300W peak).
- For USB-powered devices, use the appropriate USB-A or USB-C ports. The inverter provides fast charging capabilities (20W PD and 18W QC).
- To turn off the inverter, press the power button. The blue indicator light will turn off.
Important Considerations:
- This inverter is designed for 12V DC vehicles only. It is not suitable for 24V vehicles.
- Avoid using high-power appliances such as hair dryers, microwaves, or coffee makers, as these may exceed the inverter's wattage capacity and cause damage.
- Ensure good ventilation around the inverter. Do not obstruct the vents.
- Keep the product away from children.
- Avoid dropping or bumping the product.

Maintenance
- Keep the inverter clean and dry. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Regularly check the cigarette lighter plug and cables for any signs of damage.
- Store the inverter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter not turning on. | Loose connection, vehicle's 12V socket not active, or blown fuse. | Ensure the cigarette lighter plug is fully inserted. Check if the vehicle's 12V socket is receiving power. Inspect the inverter's fuse (if accessible) or the vehicle's fuse box. |
| Device not charging or charging slowly. | Device requires more power than 200W, faulty cable, or multiple high-power devices connected. | Verify device wattage. Use a different charging cable. Disconnect other devices to reduce load. |
| Inverter overheating. | Poor ventilation or excessive load. | Ensure vents are not blocked. Reduce the number or power of connected devices. Allow the inverter to cool down. |
