The housing may become
uncomfortablywarm,reaching140°F(60°C)under
extended high power operation. During operation,
keep it away from materials that may beaffected by
high temperatures.
Do not use the in the presence of
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, ornear propane tanks. Do
not use the in an enclosure
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.
These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent
explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by
sparks from electrical connections.
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your ngers clear of
the AC outlet. Ensure that your ngers do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter.

CAUTION: Risk of Fire.
Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher
than recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer.
Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle
can supply this product without causing the vehicle
fusing to open. Information on the vehicle fuse
rating is typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual.
If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on
replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found.
On no account should fuses be patched up with
tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage
elsewhere in the electrical circuit or

rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable
shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
CAUTION
Do not connect live AC power to the
AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,
and the damage is not covered by warranty.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral

AC output waveform, called
“modified sine wave” is designed to function
similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.
Most devices are not affected by a "modified sine
wave", you may need to consult with the manufacturer
of the device you wish to run prior to connection
with inverter.
Through its AC outlet, the is capable
of powering most 120V AC products that use
500W or less. The can also power or

1. Plug a DC cable into the DC cable port on the
EN500 and connect to a 12V cigarette lighter
receptacle.
2. Plug the device you want to operate into the
EN500
3. When the inverter is not in use, unplug it from the
12V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the
battery.

1.Whenproperly connected to a 12V outlet, the
light will glow GREEN, indicating the inverter is
ready.
2. Plug the product(s) you want to operate into the
AC outlet or USB port and switch them on (if
necessary).
Operating Guidelines
•As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall.
When the EN500 senses that the voltage
at its DC input has dropped to 10.5V, the inverter
automatically shuts down and the light glows RED,
indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from
being damaged. Turn off any devices that the
EN500 is powering.
