AC Cable
3.5 Connect Two Captain 1200
Connect the parallel port of the CAPTAIN 1200 through the parallel cable and turn the AC button on until the parallel graph on the LCD is lit, indicating a successful parallel connection. AC output power provides up to 2400W continuous output, using a capacity of up to 2560Wh. Users can use the AC port on either product. Please avoid using load devices that exceed the rated power of 2400W. Please note: The parallel cable needs to purchase additional.
3.6 Use of APP
You can view energy forecasting, state monitoring and estimation, and anomaly detection via the VIGORPOOL App. For more details, please download it on the App Store or Google Play and check our official website to get the connect steps: https://VIGORPOOL.com/pages/VIGORPOOL-app
3.7 Notes on Boost
Traditional power stations will shut off if their continuous power output rate is exceeded. However, the CAPTAIN 1200 AC inverter boost function can boost the power output from 1200W to 1800W without overload protection power failure. The device can drive most resistive load under 1800W. When using the Boost feature, please keep the following in mind: (1) Pay special attention to the charging state. (2) When using an appliance that requires between 1200W-1800W, only use that one appliance. Trying to run multiple AC devices
while using the boost feature could result in voltage fluctuations that could damage appliances over time. (3) If the 1200W-1800W appliance you are attempting to power with the CAPTAIN 1200 exceeds the unit's surge voltage limit of
2400W when starting the appliance, you may not be able to power that appliance.

Uninterruptible Power SupplycUPS
This product supports an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) function. The unit's battery will be bypassed while fully charged and connected to the grid via AC charging cable. In other words, anything you plug into the AC ports will pull directly from the grid rather than the battery. In a power outage, this product can automatically switch to the battery-powered mode within 10ms.
Note: This function does not support 0ms switching. Therefore, it is not recommended to be used a s a UPS for highly sensitive equipment, such as data servers and workstations without confirming compatibility or proper testing before use. It is also recommended to only use the UPS function for one device at a time to avoid overload protection. VIGORPOOL assumes no responsibility and is therefore not liable for data loss or damage caused by the use of this product in setups that it was not intended for and the disregard of this recommendation

5. Frequently Asked Questions
1. What devices can VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power? A: VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 can power essential devices less than 1200W (or one device up to 1800W using the inverter
boost feature). The total wattage of devices being powered should be under 1200W unless using the inverter boost feature. Please refer to your device specification before purchase.
2. What is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 power station lifespan? A: The VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 uses lithium iron phosphate battery technology. After 3500 cycles of use, the VIGORPOOL
CAPTAIN 1200 power station's capacity will drop to 80%. Lifespan also depends on how the power station is used, maintained, etc.
3. Is the VIGORPOOL CAPTAIN 1200 waterproof? A: The VIGORPOOL captain 1200 is not waterproof, please stay away from water sources.

behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. 7. Do not operate the power pack with a damaged cord or plug, or a damaged output cable. 8. Do not disassemble the power pack, take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power pack form the outlet before attempting any instructed servicing. 10. WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine. 11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS (1) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. (2) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery. (3) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately. (4) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. (5) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion. 12. When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way. 13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 14. Do not expose a power pack to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F. 15. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
