Operation

Make sure the connection is correct. If the product is not connected properly,
it could overheat or cause an electric shock or fire.
Make sure that the device meets the product's power requirements (see tech-
nical data).
1. Connect the switched-off USB device to the product.
2. Plug the product into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The power indicator on the
product lights up to indicate the product is operational.
3. Your USB device is now charging. Should you wish to operate the USB device, you may
turn it on now.

the engine is switched off, drawing current over a longer period of time will discharge
