5. Plug your appliances into the AC oulets or mobile electronics to the

USB power ports at the front of the inverter.

6. When you are not using the inverter, turn the power switch off and

disconnect the inverter from power supply.

MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE

This inverter’s AC output is a modiﬁed sine wave (MSW) at 115 volts AC. The

ﬁgure below compares a modiﬁed sine wave to a pure sine wave.

Modiﬁed Sine Wave (MSW) Pure Sine Wave

This modiﬁed sine wave has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 115 volts.

Most ordinary AC voltmeters are calibrated to read “average” voltage and

assume that the AC waveform will be a pure sine wave. These meters will

not correctly read MSW voltage, and will display about 20 to 30 volts too

low. Any multi-meter identiﬁed as “TRUE RMS” will accurately read MSW

correctly.

ADDING AN EXTENSION CORD

Using an extension cord will reduce power output. However, if you need an

extension cord, we recommend placing the extension cord between the AC

output of the inverter and the AC appliances. You may use up to 100 feet of

high quality extension cord.
