2. Safety Instructions

Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial to prevent injury and damage to the inverter or connected devices.

  • Power Limit: Ensure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 200W. Overloading the inverter can cause damage and trigger protection mechanisms.
  • Ventilation: Always ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter. Do not block the cooling fan or air vents. Overheating can lead to automatic shutdown.
  • Environment: Use the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, flammable materials, and moisture.
  • Connection: Connect the inverter only to a 12V DC power source (e.g., a car cigarette lighter socket). Do not connect to 24V DC systems.
  • Children: Keep the inverter out of reach of children.
  • Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the inverter. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
  • Protection Features: The inverter includes built-in protections against overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, short circuit, and overheating. If a protection is triggered, the inverter may shut down automatically.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the inverter is properly set up, you can begin powering and charging your devices.

  1. Check Device Compatibility: Before connecting, verify that your device's power requirement (in Watts) is within the inverter's 200W limit.
  2. Connect Devices:
    • For AC-powered devices, plug them into the universal AC outlet.
    • For USB-powered devices, connect them to the appropriate USB-C (65W PD, 30W QC3.0) or USB-A (18W QC3.0) ports.
  3. Monitor Display: The LCD screen will show the input voltage. If the voltage drops too low (e.g., below 10.5V), the inverter may shut down to protect your car battery.
  4. Disconnect After Use: When you are finished, disconnect all devices and then unplug the inverter from the cigarette lighter socket.
