Because the inverter draws less than the no load current draw with the
ON/OFF switch in ON position and with no AC products connected, it
has minimal impact on battery operating times.

Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would
with household AC power. Below is information concerning two possible
exceptions.

Some inexpensive stereo systems, “ boom boxes ” , and AM-FM radios
have inadequate internal power supply filtering and “ buzz ” slightly when
powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio product
with a higher quality filter.

The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signals.
However, with weak TV signals interference may be visible in the form
of lines scrolling across the screen. The following should minimize or
eliminate the problem:
�Use an extension cord to increase the distance between the inverter
and the
TV,
antenna and cables.
�Adjust the orientation of the inverter, television, antenna and
cables.
�Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna and use
shielded antenna cable where possible.
�Try a different
TV.
Different models of televisions vary
considerably in their susceptibility to inverterference.

The inverter is capable of continuously powering most
110V/230V AC products that use the rated continuous output
power or less. Its AC output waveform, called “ modified sine
wave □/pure sine wave ” is designed to function as wave
shape of utility power, or more beautiful than city electricity.
The power, or “ wattage ” , rating of AC products is the average
power they use. When many AC products are first switched on,
they initially consume more power than their power rating. TVs,
monitors, and electric motors are examples of products that
have high “ surge ” requirements at start up. Although the
inverter can supply momentary surge power as high as surge
power, occasionally some products rated less than the rated
continuous output power may exceed its surge capabilities and
trigger its safety overload shutdown feature. If this problem
occurs when attempting to operate several AC products at the
same time, try first switching on inverter with all AC products
switched off, then one by one switch each on, starting with the
high surge product first.
