Safety
Warning!
• Make sure that the socket that the product is plugged into is
easily accessible so that you can quickly disconnect it and
the product from the mains when needed.
• Do not connect products of this type to each other.
• Do not cover the product.
• The power inverter can only be connected to a 12 V cigarette
lighter socket with a (+) positive centre.
• The power inverter must be protected from direct sunlight,
rain and moisture.
• Never open the inverter yourself, repairs should be carried
out by qualified personal using original spare parts, otherwise
the product could become dangerous to use.
• Always disconnect the cigarette lighter plug before servicing
or carrying out any adjustments to connected load appliances.
• Be very careful when handling lead-acid batteries, avoid
sparking at the terminals.
• Keep the inverter out of children's reach; remember that the voltage
from it is as dangerous as that from a regular wall socket.
• If the mains lead or other cables on the inverter are damaged
they have to be replaced. Use only original replacement parts
from the supplier.
• This product can be used in vehicles but should never be
mounted in the engine compartment.
• If you connect an auxiliary socket to the 12 V battery,
the connection cables between the battery and the socket
must be kept short, max 2 metres.
• Never use longer leads than needed between the inverter and
the load appliance, the longer the lead the higher the voltage
drop.
• Check the polarity from the cigarette lighter socket before
connecting the inverter. The power socket must have (+)
centre-positive polarity.
• Reversed connection can damage the inverter, and is not
covered by the guarantee.
• Do not have any load devices connected to the inverter when
you are connecting or removing the plug from the cigarette
lighter socket.
• Make sure the lead and plug are undamaged before using
the inverter.
• The inverter must not be covered. Make sure the ventilation
holes are kept open and unblocked.
• Never use the inverter as a power supply for medical
equipment or other sensitive and vital equipment. Read
the device's instruction manual for power supply requirements
in regards to sine waves, voltage variations, earthing, etc.
Consult with a tradesman if you are uncertain.

• For indoor use only.
• This product is not intended for powering products with high
energy consumption or products which give off heat such as
hair dryers, microwave ovens, toasters, etc.
• Keep an eye on the temperature of the battery charger that
is connected to the inverter. If it becomes hot after about 10
minutes the charger should then only be connected to your
normal residential power grid.
• Never connect the inverter to a 230 V power grid or other
inverter.
• Never use the inverter near flammable liquids or gas.
Sparks may be produced when connecting or disconnecting
the inverter.
• The inverter may not be immersed in liquids or exposed to
rain or spray.
Product description
• 12 V DC to 230 V AC power inverter.
Connects to your car's 12 V cigarette lighter socket.
• Designed to be placed in your car's cup holder.
• Allows 230 V devices (TVs, digital receivers, stereos, etc.)
to be used in your car, boat, caravan, etc. Can also be
connected to battery chargers for laptops, digital cameras,
drill/drivers, etc.
• USB outlet for charging digital cameras, MP3 players, etc.
(5 V, max. 500 mA).
• Built-in overload protecton and low-voltage protection.
• Rated for 100 W of continuous power.

Use
1. Connection:
A. Plug the inverter into the car's cigarette lighter outlet (12 V).
B. Push the on/off switch to switch the inverter on.
C. The indicator light will be blue when the inverter is switched
on and correctly connected.
D. Finally: Connect the load device's plug to the outlet
on the inverter.
2. Switching off:
A. Push the on/off switch to switch the inverter off.
B. The indicator lamp will go off.
C. Disconnect the inverter from the car's cigarette lighter outlet.
D. Finally: Disconnect the load device from the inverter's outlet.
3. Place the inverter in your car's cup holder or other
appropriate location, well protected from rain and moisture
and with good air circulation so the inverter does not
overheat. Also, do not place the inverter in direct sunlight or
near heat sources.
4. Press the power switch to start the inverter.
5. The indicator light will be blue when the inverter is switched
on and correctly connected. This shows that the inverter is
functioning correctly and both the 230 V AC socket and USB
port are ready for use.
N.B.
If the indicator light is red then a problem has occured.
Refer to The inverter's protective features.
6. Both the USB port and 230 VAC socket can be used at
the same time.
7. The inverter can manage 100 W of continuous power. Make
sure that the load devices have a lower power consumption
than 100 W.
All electrical products have a rating for power consumption
listed in A or W.
Example:
If power consumption is given in A you would
calculate W as follows: A rating of 2.2 A (230 V AC) =
power in W: 2.2 × 230 = 506 W.
8. Press the power switch to switch off the inverter.
N.B.
Pull the plug out when the inverter is not in use.
N.B.
Make sure that the vehicle's battery is fully charged when
using the inverter without the engine turned on. Make sure
that you do not drain the battery so much as to cause starting
problems.
N.B. The USB port on the inverter does not support
data transfer. It is only an outlet providing 5 V/500 mA DC for
charging/powering USB devices.
Warning! Do not connect any sensitive devices which need
sine wave AC voltage (the inverter produces a modified square
waveform). Check the product's instruction manual or consult
a tradesman if you are at all uncertain.
The inverter's protective features
• Low voltage protection: Low voltage is not damaging
to the inverter but can damage the connected load device.
The inverter shuts off when battery voltage goes below
10.5 (+/-0.3) V DC.
Overvoltage/Surge protection:
• The inverter shuts off
when battery voltage exceeds 16 (+/-0.3) V DC.
Short-circuit protection:
• The inverter shuts off
automatically whenever a short-circuit is detected.
Overload protection:
• The inverter shuts off automatically
when overloaded (power output over 100 W).
• Overheating protection: The inverter shuts off
automatically when the temperature becomes too high. Turn
off the connected load device and let the inverter cool for
about 15 minutes.
• Reset the protective features by: Shutting off the inverter
and starting it again.
Note!
• Disconnect the inverter from the battery before starting
the vehicle or before recharging the battery.
• Disconnect the inverter when it is not in use.
• Discharged batteries are sensitive to frost, recharge batteries
before storing them.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning:
Unplug the inverter from the power outlet and wipe
it with a soft cloth and maybe even a little mild detergent. Never
use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Troubleshooting
• If the inverter is switched on but does not have output voltage
from the VAC or USB outlets then in all probability
the inverter's protective functions have tripped.
The indicator light will be red if a problem has occurred.
Reset the protective features when you have addressed
the problem. Shut off the inverter and start it again.
• Make sure that your car's cigarette lighter socket outputs
12 V (certain cars must have the ignition switch in the on
position in order to receive power from the socket).
• Check the fuse in the inverter's plug:
1. Unscrew the ridged part of the plug to access the fuse while
keeping track of the small components (centre pin, spring
and plastic washer).
N.B. All the small components must be replaced in exactly
the same position otherwise the inverter will
not function.
2. Replace the fuse only with one of the same rating
(12 A/250 V).
