Using the Power Station
The AC Outputs
The two AC outputs power devices that use a standard wall plug
and operate at 110V. The combined output for both AC outputs is
300W.
Simply power-on the AC section and plug in a device like you
would into a wall socket. The display will show the total watts being
used.
If in doubt, most devices show the amounts of watts they require.
This can be found printed on the unit (the small, dicult to read text
found in inconvenient locations) or in the user manual.
As a general rule all hair dryers, coee makes, full size refrigerators
and other large appliances will require more than the 300W the
Power Station can provide.
If you plug a device in that exceeds 300W, the display will show the
High Output error (see page 7 #3) and provide an audible warning.
Please unplug the device and the Power Station will return to
normal operation.
It is unlikely you’ve damaged the Power Station.
