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 xPower600s 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 xPower600s 12 Volt DC Power Socket, the only solution is a sound system with a higher quality int
