Warning! Rechargeable devices: Some
rechargeable devices do not operate well from a
modified sine wave inverter. They only operate
correctly from a standard household outlet
which provides a pure sine wave. Therefore, the
manufacturer recommends that you operate these
types of devices from a standard household outlet
only, not from the inverter.
This problem does not occur with the majority of
battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use
a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into
an ac mains socket. The inverter is easily capable of
running most chargers and transformers.
Caution! Incompatible products: Certain products
contain power supplies or circuits that are not
compatible with an inverter using a modified sine wave
output (such as this inverter) and may be damaged by
using this inverter.
Some products must be powered from a pure sine
wave power source, such as standard household
power, or a “pure sine wave” inverter in order to
function properly. If your product requires pure
sine wave ac input power to function properly, the
instruction manual for your product could state
this. If in doubt, you should contact your product
manufacturer PRIOR TO USE.
Your product could be damaged by this inverter if it
contains:
•Microwave ovens
•Transformerless battery chargers
•Capacitive coupled power supplies
If an incompatible product is used with this inverter:
•The product might not operate at all, with no
indication of failure. The product fuse might open as
a result of trying to use it with the inverter.
•The product might exhibit unusual operation (such
as, intermittent operation, buzzing, and the like.)
Warning! This appliance will not operate high wattage
appliances or equipment that produce heat, such as
coffee makers, hair dryers, microwave ovens, and
toasters.
Note: Some laptop computers may not operate with
this inverter.
Rated versus actual power
requirements of equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances and audio/video
equipment have labels that indicate the power
consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power
consumption of the item you wish to operate is rated
at 800 watts or less.
The power inverter is fitted with overload protection
and will shutdown if a load in excess of 800W is
applied. Resistive loads (i.e incandescent lights) are
the easiest for the power inverter to run.
Specific safety instructions for the

TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Audio/Visual Problems
Buzzing Sound In
Audio Systems
Some inexpensive stereo
systems make a buzzing
sound when operated from
an inverter because the
power supply in the electronic
device does not properly filter
the modified sine wave. The
only solution to this problem
is to use a sound system that
has a higher quality power
supply.
Television
Interference
The inverter is shielded to
minimize interference with
television signals. However, in
some instances, interference
may still occur, particularly
where television signals
are weak. Try the following
corrective measures:
•Place the inverter as far as
possible from the television,
the aerial or cables. Use
an extension cable, if
necessary.
•Readjust the orientation of
the inverter, the aerial or
cables and the television
power cord to minimize
interference.
•Make sure the aerial or
cable feeding the television
provides an adequate
(“snow free”) signal and
that high quality, shielded
aerial or cable is used.
•Do not use the inverter
to operate high-power
appliances or tools at the
same time you are using it
to operate the television.
