WARNING:Limitationsonuse
TheMobileDigitalPowerInverterisnotintendedforuseinconnectionwithlife
supportsystemsofothermedicalequipmentofdevices.



1.BeforeinstallingandusingtheMobileDigitalPowerInverter,readall
instructionsandcautionarymarkingsontheMobileDigitalPowerInverter,the
batteries,andallappropriatesectionsofthisguide.
2.DonotexposetheMobileDigitalPowerInvertertorain,snow,spray,orbilge
water.Toreduceriskoffirehazard,donotcoverorobstructtheventilation
openings.DonotinstalltheMobileDigitalPowerInverterinazero‐clearance
compartment.Overheatingmayresult.
3.Useonlyattachmentsrecommendedorsoldbythemanufacturer.Doing
otherwisemayresultinariskoffire,electricshock,orinjurytopersons.
4.Toavoidariskoffireandelectricshock,makesurethatexistingwiringisin
goodconditionandthatwireisnotundersized.DonotoperatetheMobileDigital
PowerInverterwithdamagedorsubstandardwiring.
5.DonotoperatetheMobileDigitalPowerInverterifithasreceivedasharpblow,
beendropped,orotherwisedamagedinanyway.IftheMobileDigitalPower
Inverterisdamaged,seetheWarrantysection.
6.DonotdisassembletheMobileDigitalPowerInverter.Itcontainsno
user‐serviceableparts.SeeWarrantysectionforinstructionsonobtainingservice.
AttemptingtoservicetheMobileDigitalPowerInverteryourselfmayresultinarisk
ofelectricalshockorfire.Internalcapacitorsremainchargedafterallpoweris
disconnected.
7.Toreducetheriskofelectricalshock,disconnectbothACandDCpowerfrom
theMobileDigitalPowerInverterbeforeattemptinganymaintenanceorcleaningor
workingonanycircuitsconnectedtotheMobileDigitalPowerInverter.Turningoff

PrecautionsforWorkingwithBatteries


WARNING:Explosionhazard


1.Followallinstructionspublishedbythebatterymanufacturerandthe
manufactureroftheequipmentinwhichthebatteryisinstalled.
2.Makesuretheareaaroundthebatteryiswellventilated.
3.Neversmokeorallowasparkorflameneartheengineorbatteries.
4.Usecautiontoreducetheriskofdroppingametaltoolonthebattery.
Itcouldsparkorshortcircuitthebatteryorotherelectricalpartsandcouldcausean
explosion.
5.Removeallmetalitems,likerings,bracelets,andwatcheswhenworkingwith
lead‐acidbatteries.Lead‐acidbatteriesproduceashortcircuitcurrenthighenough
toweldmetaltoskin,causingasevereburn.
6.Havesomeonewithintherangeofyourvoiceorcloseenoughtocometo
youraidwhenyouworknearalead‐acidbattery.
7.Haveplentyoffreshwaterandsoapnearbyincasebatteryacidcontactsskin,
clothing,oreyes.
8.Wearcompleteeyeprotectionandclothingprotection.Avoidtouchingyour
eyeswhileworkingnearbatteries.
9.Ifbatteryacidcontactsskinorclothing,washimmediatelywithsoapand
water.Ifacidentersyoureye,immediatelyflooditwithrunningcoldwaterforat
leasttwentyminutesandgetmedicalattentionimmediately.
10.Ifyouneedtoremoveabattery,makesureallaccessoriesareoffsoyou
don’tcauseaspark.

PrecautionsforUsingRechargeableAppliance

CAUTION:Equipmentdamage
Theoutputoftheinverterisnon‐sinusoidal.


Mostrechargeablebattery‐operatedequipmentusesaseparatechargeror
transformerthatispluggedintoanACreceptacleandproducesalow
voltagechargingoutput.
Somechargersforsmallrechargeablebatteriescanbedamagedif
connectedtotheMobileDigitalPowerInverter.Donotusethefollowingwiththe
MobileDigitalPowerInverter:
•Smallbattery‐operatedapplianceslikeflashlights,razors,andnight
lightsthatcanbepluggeddirectlyintoanACreceptacletorecharge.
•Somechargersforbatterypacksusedinpowerhandtools.
Theseaffectedchargersdisplayawarninglabelstatingthatdangerousvoltagesare
presentatthebatteryterminals.
Ifyouareunsureaboutusingyourrechargeableappliancewiththe
MobileDigitalPowerInverter,contacttheequipmentmanufacturertodetermine
therechargeableappliance’scompatibilitywiththemodifiedsinewave
(non‐sinusoidal)ACwaveform.

CAUTION:Equipmentdamage
DonotconnectliveACpowertotheMobileDigitalPowerInverter’sACoutlets.The
inverterwillbedamagedevenifitisswitchedOFF.
DonotconnectanyACloadthathasitsneutralconductorconnectedtotheMobile
DigitalPowerInverter.
