whether the device you want to use is compatible with a modified sine wave. To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage). To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x WATTS. In general, the start up load of the device or power tool determines whether your inverter has the capability to power it. To calculate the continuous load: Continuous Load = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage). Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or

3. CONNECTING INVERTER CABLES The inverter and power source must be in the OFF mode. Make sure you connect your inverter to a 12-volt power supply only. Inverter connection: 1. Locate the positive and negative plastic terminals located on the back of the inverter and remove the terminal caps completely. 2. Install the positive (red) cable ring lug onto the positive (red) terminal screw. Install the negative (black) cable ring lug onto the negative (black) terminal screw. Tighten each termin

Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device: The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference. Despite this, some interference may occur with your television picture, especially with weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and improve reception. 1. Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shi
