NOTE: Do not use the unit while charging its internal battery.
AC adaptor
1. If the AC Output LED is lit, press the AC button to turn off before charging.
2. Connect the provided AC charger to the AC input socket on the front of the unit. Plug the charger’s power cord directly into a live grounded 120V outlet. Charging will
start automatically, and the Charging and the Battery Capacity indicators will ash.
3. When the internal battery is fully charged, all ve bars of the Battery Capacity indicator on the display will show. After 10 seconds, the display will turn off. Complete
charging will take approximately 10.5 hours.
4. When the unit is fully charged, unplug the charger from the 120V outlet and then from the unit.
Solar Charging (120W panel not included)
1. If the 12V DC Output LED is lit, press the DC power button to turn off before charging.
2. Place the solar panel (not included) in direct sunlight. Do not expose the power station to direct sunlight or wet conditions.
3. Connect your 3.5mm solar panel output cable to the DC input port of the unit. Charging will start automatically, and the Charging and the Battery Capacity
indicators will ash.
4. When the internal battery is fully charged, all ve bars of the Battery Capacity indicator on the display will show. After 10 seconds, the display will turn off. Complete
charging will take approximately 10.5 hours.
5. When the unit is fully charged, unplug the solar panel from the unit.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE
NOTE: Do not power a 12V device while charging the internal battery.
12V DC Output
1. Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC plug into one of the two 12V DC output ports.
2. Plug the 12V DC device into one of the 12V DC output ports and turn on the 12V DC device (if required). Press the DC button. The 12V DC output, 12V DC Cigarette
Outlet and Power Output indicators will show on the display.
3. When nished, press the DC button, turn off the DC device (if required) and unplug from the DC output port.
4. Recharge the unit when the battery level is below 40%.
12V DC Cigarette Outlet plug
1. Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC cigarette outlet plug into the 12V DC cigarette outlet socket.
2. Plug the 12V DC device into the DC cigarette outlet socket and turn on the 12V DC device (if required). Press the DC button. The 12V DC output, 12V DC Cigarette
Outlet and Power Output indicators will show on the display.

4. Long press the button for 2 seconds to turn off the LED light.
USING THE AC POWER OUTLETS
The SL1467 is equipped with a 1000W pure sine wave inverter, which produces power for all electronic devices and appliances.
It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the AC outlets. The unit must be used with devices drawing 1000 watts or less.
Devices such as fans or electric motors require additional power to start (commonly known as the “starting” or “peak” power). The generator can supply a momentary surge
in wattage of as high as 2000W for less than 1/10 of a second; however even devices rated less than the maximum 1000 watts can exceed the inverter’s surge capability
and cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the inverter can provide, as this may cause erratic operation.
CAUTION: Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload (noted with a ashing Warning icon), the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the
inverter while testing devices and equipment within the 1000-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not exceed the
inverter’s Continuous Operation wattage rate.
You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without signicantly decreasing the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the
extension cord should be 16 AWG (1.31 mm2) or larger and no longer than 50 feet.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury. The inverter output is 110V AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any ordinary
household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is 1000 watts. Do not use the AC outlets with a product that draws more than 1000 watts, as this may cause erratic operation.
CAUTION:
•Do not connect an AC power source to the 110V AC outlets.
•Do not connect the unit’s AC power cord to its 110V AC outlets.
NOTE: Do not power an AC device while charging the internal battery.
1. Connect your AC-powered devices or small household appliances to one or more of the unit’s two AC outlets.
NOTE: Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the plug into the AC power outlet.
2. Press the AC Power button. The AC Output icon will show on the display, to conrm that the unit is on and ready to provide AC power. The Power Output indicator
will also show on the display.
NOTE: Extended operation of an AC device may result in excessive battery drain.
3. Recharge the unit when the battery level is below 40%.
