Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off:

• Press the red power button to turn the unit on or off. The LCD display will illuminate.

Using AC Output:

• Press the 'AC' button to activate the AC outlets. The green 'AC' indicator light will turn on.
• Plug your AC devices into the outlets.
• Press the 'AC' button again to turn off the AC output when not in use.

Using DC Output:

• Press the 'DC' button to activate the DC 12V car outlet and USB ports. The green 'DC' indicator light will turn on.
• Plug your DC or USB devices into the respective ports.
• Press the 'DC' button again to turn off the DC output when not in use.

Smart ECO Mode:

• Press the 'ECO' button to toggle ECO mode. When active, the green 'ECO' indicator light will be on.
• ECO Mode ON: The power station will automatically shut down if the output is below a certain threshold for a period, conserving energy. This is ideal for general use with devices that draw intermittent power.
• ECO Mode OFF: For devices requiring continuous power, such as CPAP machines or portable refrigerators, ensure ECO mode is OFF. This prevents the power station from shutting down due to low power consumption.

LED Flashlight:

• Press the 'Light' button to turn on the LED flashlight.
• Press again to cycle through different modes (e.g., normal, SOS).
• Press a third time to turn off the flashlight.

LCD Display Information
