This inverter is powered from a 12 volt DC source and provides 150 Watts AC
60Hz through two North American standard outlets. The AC waveform is a
modified sine wave (MSW) which approximates the sine wave of household
electrical service. This inverter powers AC appliances up to 150 watts. An attached
DC power cord connects to a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket. There is a USB
power port that can be used to charge cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players. Safety
features include automatic shutdown in the event of overheat, overload, output
short circuit and input short circuit.
WARNINGS
•Keep the inverter away from children.
•Do not operate the inverter with wet hands because of an electrical shock
hazard.
•This device produces voltage similar to wall outlets at home and should be
treated with the same caution.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT/ USER RESPONSIBILITY
