[. . . ] They may have high surge requirements or may be incompatible with the output waveform of the power pack. See "High Surge Appliances" and "Trouble Appliances" (page 10). NOTE: To determine required wattage for a device, look up required Amps a device is rated. Multiply Amps X Volts = Watts. Low battery shut down Unit will automatically shutdown when the battery reaches 10. 0V DC. You must turn off the AC power switch and charge the battery. Overload and high temperature protection In the event of an overload (>400W) or overheating, the power pack automatically shuts down power to the AC outlets. If, after a while the audible warning is ignored and a manual reset is not performed, the unit will do a complete shutdown automatically. High surge appliances The wattage rating of AC appliance is the average power used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and appliances with motors consume much more power than their average rating when they are first switched on. Although power pack can supply momentary surge power up to 400W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the power pack and trigger the inverter's safety overload shutdown circuit. 8 9 Operation Problem appliances The output of the power pack inverter is non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter's modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal). Some appliance, including the types listed below, may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter. · · · · Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged. Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliance, and other loads may be damaged. Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged. Operation USB Devices The power pack can charge or power one USB-chargeable device through its USB port. Compatible devices include most MP3 players, PDAs, digital cameras, and camcorders that have internal batteries which can be charged via the USB port of a desktop/laptop computer. USB-chargeable devices usually include a special USB cable (not supplied) that attaches one end to the USB port and the other end to the device. Using the Air Compressor Warning: Fire Hazard The compressor is designed for short-term operation only. Operating the compressor over an extended period of time will cause the compressor unit to overheat, which could lead to fire. Allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operations. Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the power pack, contact the manufacturer of the device to determine whether it is compatible with the modified sine wave output. Warning: Fire Hazard Do not leave the compressor unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children. 12V DC appliances The power pack can operate one 12V DC auto, RV, marine, or other portable DC appliance that draws 10 amps or less from its DC socket. The combined load must not exceed 120 W, The less combined wattage used, the longer the power pack will operate before recharging is required. Warning: Risk of personal injury or damage of equipment Do not exceed the recommended pressure of either the compressor or the object being inflated. If the recommended pressure is exceeded, an explosion may result. Operating DC appliances: 1. Recharge the power pack immediately after use. Warning: Risk of personal injury or damage of equipment If the power pack with air compressor shuts off due to an over-temperature condition, turn OFF the compressor switch and allow the compressor to cool for 15 minutes before re-starting. If the power switch is not turned off, the compressor will automatically turn itself on when it reaches an acceptable operating temperature. [. . . ] WARNING: Electric shock hazard Do not remove the cover of the unit or disassemble. The unit does not contain any internal user-serviceable parts and attempting to service the unit yourself could result in electrical shock or burn. Problem The power pack can not jump start vehicle Cause Troubleshooting Solution The battery in the power pack Charge it for at 23 hours is not fully charged The engine start capacity exceeds the power pack jump start capacity. The power pack's battery has Replace the power pack's been damaged battery (consult service technician). Replace 120V AC charger The AC charger's output is too Replace the AC charger low. [. . . ]
