3.2 An Explanation of Power Ratings and Battery Life AC powered products are rated by how much electrical power (in Watts) they consume. xPower600 is capable of generating a maximum of 600 Watts (maximum continuous) to power AC products plugged into the AC outlets. As an example, a lamp with a 40 Watt light bulb can be operated from xPower600 for up to 6½ hours when xPower600’s internal battery is fully charged. 12 Volt DC auto and marine accessories are generally rated according to how much ele

3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired direct to xPower600’s battery, extended operation of a 12 Volt accessory may result in excessive battery discharge. Important: Care must be taken to ensure the battery does not become totally discharged. See Section 6.1 for details. 3.5 Recharging xPower600 1. The battery’s charge level may be seen by pressing the Battery Status switch on the AC Power Panel. 2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a standard 115 Volt AC outlet and the DC plug

4.1.1 Battery Status Switch / Battery Level Indicator The Battery Level Indicator shows the state of charge of xPower600’s battery. Its function is similar to the fuel gauge in a car. When pressing and holding the Battery Status Switch, one or more of the four lights in the display will illuminate, showing the approximate amount of charge remaining in the battery. The following diagram shows the function of each light: When the battery is fully charged, all four lights will illuminate. When dis

4.2 DC Power Panel As shown in Figure 4 below, the DC Power Panel contains the DC Power Socket, which provides 12 Volts for operating automotive and marine type products. The DC Power Socket also serves as the input for recharging with either the AC Charger or DC Charging Cable.See Section 8.0 for details. Figure 4 - View of DC Power Panel IMPORTANT: The vents below the DC Power Socket allow the xPower600’s internal cooling fan to intake air. This area should never be covered or blocked when xP

4.3 High Power 12 Volt DC Terminals As shown in Figure 5 below, the High Power DC Termnials are wired directly to xPower600’s battery and supply power for jump-starting a vehicle. See Section 7.1 for details. These terminals also can be used to connect an external battery, which can increase xPower600’s total battery capacity and extend operating times. See Section 9.0 for details. Figure 5 - View of High Power DC Terminals xPower600 Owner’s Manual 9

5.0 Powering 115 Volt AC Products 5.1 General Information xPower600 is capable of powering most 115 Volt AC products and equipment that use 600 Watts or less. Its AC output waveform, called a “quasi-sine wave” or “modified sine wave”, is designed to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power. CAUTION: Do not use xPower600 with the following equipment: · Small battery operated products such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night-lights that are plugged

4. As the battery becomes nearly discharged, or “empty”, a low voltage warning will sound. This will give you time to shut down a computer, for example. If this warning is ignored, the inverter will switch off automatically a few minutes later to prevent battery damage. See Section 5.3 for details. 5. Fully recharge xPower600’s battery as soon as possible after each use. See Section 8.0. 5.3 Automatic Protection: Overload, Overheating and Low Battery xPower600 has built-in protection against ou

5.4 Interference with Electronic Equipment 5.4.1 Buzzing Sound in Audio Systems Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom-boxes” will emit a buzzing sound from their loudspeakers when operating from the AC output of xPower600. This is because the power supply in the equipment does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by xPower600. Unless the stereo can be operated directly from xPower600’s 12 Volt DC Power Socket, the only solution is a sound system with a higher quality int

5.5 Battery Operating Times Below are typical AC products and equipment that may be operated by xPower600 with estimated operating times. See Section 9.0 for information about connecting to an external battery to increase operating time. Operating times will vary depending on the battery charge level and the actual AC product being operated. xPower600 will not operate AC products rated at more than 600 Watts, such as hair dryers, toasters, and major appliances or large power tools. 1 As C Power
