1. Two Negative Connectors BEFORE USING POWER INVERTER 140 It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter The Power Inverter 140 must be used with devices drawing 140 watts or less If the wattage is not marked on the device an estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current Amps by the AC voltage 110V Devices like TVs fans or electric motors require additional power to start Commonly known as the starting or peak power The Power Inverter 140 can supply a momentary surge in wattage however even devices rated less than the maximum 140 watts can exceed the inverters surge capabil ity and cause an automatic overload shutdown Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Push the Power Inverter 140 firmly into the 12V accessory outlet The LED indicator light should glow GREEN verifying the inverter is receiving power If connecting in a vehicle remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet Make sure that the device to be operated is turned OFF 3 Plug the device into the Power Inverter 140 AC outlet 4 Turn the device on If the LED Indicator briefly blinks when you first plug the inverter in it is a sign that there is a short circuit within the power supply Remove the 12 volt plug from the 12 volt accessory outlet Firmly reinsert the plug If this does not remedy the problem2.
