Thank you for purchasing Smart AC 120 Watt with USB by Wagan Tech.
With normal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable
service. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use.
BASIC OPERATION:
1. Make sure that you choose the right operating voltage for both
input and output of the inverter.
2. Connect power cord into inverter and plug the cigarette lighter
plug into the receptacle of your vehicle. Put in firmly to ensure
good contact. And the LED light will confirm that AC power is
present.
3. Insert the plug of your appliance into the AC socket at the side of
the inverter.
4. If the LED light is blinking, please refer to the chapter of
troubleshooting.
5. If the LED light is solid blue, you have 120 watt of power source for your
AC appliances.
6. To power USB apparatus, plug USB connector into USB power port.
SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION:
1. Unplug the inverter when it is not in use.
2. Unplug the inverter when starting the vehicle’s motor.
3. If the blue LED light blinks, turn off your appliance, unplug the inverter,
and restart the engine in your vehicle. It is simply the low-battery
warning when indicates that the voltage of your battery is getting low.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
1. Do not open the case of the inverter. The high voltage inside the unit is
the same type of power as your electrical outlets at home.
2. Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliances’ cord restrict your
driving. If operating from a moving vehicle, we recommend that secure
the inverter to prevent it from shifting around while the vehicle is in
operation.
3. Be careful not to touch the tip of the cigarette lighter plug directly after
usage. The plug may be hot and could cause minor burns.
4. Do not operate this inverter in or around water. Water can damage the
inverter, and water damage is not covered under warranty. Also, do not
operate the Inverter using wet hands. The AC voltage of the unit makes lf
on electrical shock hazard if operated with wet hands.
5. Do not connect the Inverter directly to another AC power source. Damage
may result, and such damage will void the inverter's warranty.
6. Know the wattage requirements of your appliance, only operate items
which are 120 watts or less.
7. Use common sense. This device produces power just like your wall
outlets at home and should be treated seriously.
8. Keep away from children.

1. To avoid over-discharging your vehicle's battery, we recommend running
your engine for 10-20 minutes to recharge the vehicle’s battery after every
2-3 hours of operating the inverter.
2. If you choose to use on adapter to connect the inverter directly to your
battery terminals, it is important to connect the '+’ wire to the '+' terminal
and the ‘-‘ wire to the ‘-‘ terminal. IF YOU CONNECT THE WIRES TO
THE INCQRRECT TERMINALS, YOU WILL REVERSE THE
POLARITY AND DAMAGE THE INVERTER. REVERSED
POLARITY WILL INSTANLY VOID THE WARRANTY OF YOUR
INVERTER.
3. If you choose to operate a battery charger to replenish your battery's
voltage, be sure to disconnect the inverter first. Failure to disconnect the
inverter prior to connecting a charger may result in on input spike which
will damage the inverter.
CONNECTING THE INVERTER'S INPUT TO BATTERY CHARGER
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY, AND MAY DAMAGE THE
INVERTER.
4. Make sure the battery’s voltage dose not exceed 15 volts DC.
CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO A DC POWER SOURCE
GREATER THAN 15 V DC WILL VOID THE WARRANTY, AND MAY
DAMAGE THE INVERTER.
