2 Important Safety Information  
Misusing or incorrectly connecting the XPower  
inverter may damage the equipment or create  
hazardous conditions for users. Read the following  
safety instructions and pay special attention to all  
Caution and Warning statements in the guide.  
Warnings identify conditions that may result in  
personal injury or loss of life.  
Cautions identify conditions or practices that may  
damage the unit or other equipment.  
Warnings and Cautions  
WARNING  
Keep children away from the XPower inverter. The  
inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC  
power as a normal household wall outlet. Treat the  
outlet with respect!  
3
 
WARNING  
The XPower inverter housing may become  
uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under  
extended high power operation. During operation,  
keep it away from materials that may be affected by  
high temperatures.  
WARNING  
Do not use the XPower inverter in the presence of  
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a  
gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do  
not use the XPower inverter in an enclosure  
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.  
These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent  
explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by  
sparks from electrical connections.  
 
4
WARNING: Shock hazard  
Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the  
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug  
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is  
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong  
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock  
hazard.  
WARNING: Shock hazard  
Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or  
removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of  
the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not  
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is  
partially inside the inverter.  
5
 
CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal  
Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries  
can be damaged if connected to the XPower  
inverter. Do not use the inverter with the following  
appliances:  
Small battery-operated appliances like  
rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable  
shavers, and night lights that are plugged  
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.  
Battery chargers used in hand power tools.  
These chargers display a warning label stating  
that dangerous voltages are present at the  
charger battery terminals.  
CAUTION  
Do not connect live AC power to the XPower  
inverter’s AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,  
and the damage is not covered by warranty.  
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral  
conductor connected to ground to the XPower  
inverter.  
 
6
Additional Safety Guidelines  
Do not insert foreign objects in the XPower  
inverter outlets or other openings.  
Never connect the inverter to power utility AC  
distribution wiring.  
Do not use the XPower inverter in temperatures  
over 100° F (40° C).  
Do not expose the XPower inverter to water, rain,  
snow, or spray.  
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause  
personal injury and/or damage to the XPower inverter.  
It may also void your product warranty.

5 Using the Inverter  
Through its AC outlet, the XPower inverter is capable  
of continuously powering most 120 V AC products  
that use 100 W or less. The XPower inverter can also  
power or charge most consumer electronics that have  
USB power ports.  
The XPower inverter’s AC output waveform, called  
“modified sine wave,” is designed to function  
similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.  
Using the DC Cable with Cigarette  
Lighter Plug  
Due to the limitations of 12 V outlets in vehicles or  
boats, the XPower inverter should only be used to  
supply AC power to products that require 100 W  
(about 0.8 A) or less.  
1. Attach the cigarette lighter plug adapter to the DC  
cable.  
2. Plug the DC cable into the DC cable port on the  
XPower inverter. See Figure 1.  
3. Insert the plug of this cable into the 12 V outlet.  
 
10  
4. Plug the device you want to operate into the  
XPower inverter. See “Inverter Operation” on  
page 13.  
5. When the power inverter is not in use, unplug it  
from the 12 V outlet to prevent slight discharge of  
the battery.  
Using the DC Cable with Airplane Power  
Plug  
1. Plug the DC cable into the DC cable port on the  
XPower inverter. See Figure 1.  
2. Insert the plug of this cable into the 12 V outlet.  
3. Plug the device you want to operate into the  
XPower inverter. See “Inverter Operation” on  
page 13.

6 Inverter Operation  
1. When properly connected to a 12 V outlet, the  
light will glow blue, indicating the inverter is  
ready.  
2. Plug the product(s) you want to operate into the  
AC outlet or USB port and switch them on (if  
necessary).  
Operating Guidelines  
As the battery is used, voltage begins to fall.  
When the XPower inverter senses that the voltage  
at its DC input has dropped to 10.5 V, the inverter  
automatically shuts down and the light glows red,  
indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from  
being damaged. Turn off any devices that the  
XPower inverter is powering.  
Important: Vehicle batteries are designed to provide  
brief periods of very high current needed for engine  
starting. They are not intended for constant deep discharge.  
Regularly operating the XPower inverter from a vehicle  
battery until low-voltage shutdown occurs will shorten the  
life of the battery.  
13  
 
If an AC product rated higher than 100 W is  
plugged into the XPower inverter, the inverter  
will shut down. The red fault light comes on.  
If the XPower inverter exceeds a safe operating  
temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or a  
high-temperature environment, it automatically  
shuts down. The red fault light comes on.  
Should a defective battery charging system cause  
the battery voltage to rise to dangerously high  
levels, the XPower inverter automatically shuts  
down. The red fault light comes on.  
CAUTION  
Although the XPower inverter incorporates  
protection against over-voltage, it may still be  
damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 V.  
In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or  
overheating, the XPower inverter automatically  
shuts down.  
 
14  
Battery Operating Time  
Operating time will vary depending on the charge  
level of the battery, its capacity and the power level  
drawn by the particular AC load, USB load, or  
combination of both. With a typical vehicle battery  
and a 80 W load, an operating time of 4 to 5 hours or  
more can be expected.  
When using a vehicle battery as a power source, it is  
strongly recommended to start the vehicle every hour  
or two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops  
too low. The XPower inverter can operate while the  
engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that  
occurs during starting of the engine may trigger the  
inverter’s low voltage shutdown feature.  
Interference with Electronic Equipment  
Generally, most AC products operate with the XPower  
inverter just as they would with household AC power.  
Below is information concerning two possible  
exceptions.  
15  
 
Buzzing sound in audio systems and radios  
Some inexpensive stereo systems and AM-FM radios  
have inadequate internal power supply filtering and  
“buzz” slightly when powered by the XPower  
inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio  
product with a higher quality filter.  
Television interference  
The XPower inverter is shielded to minimize its  
interference with TV signals. However, with weak TV  
signals interference may be visible in the form of lines  
scrolling across the screen. The following should  
minimize or eliminate the problem:  
Increase the distance between the XPower  
inverter and the TV, antenna and cables.  
Adjust the orientation of the XPower inverter,  
television, antenna and cables.  
Maximize TV signal strength by using a better  
antenna and use shielded antenna cable where  
possible.  
 
16  
7 Troubleshooting  
PROBLEM: AC product will not operate, no inverter  
lights are ON.  
Possible cause  
Remedy  
Battery is defective. Check battery and replace if  
required.  
Loose connections.  
Fuse is blown.  
Check connections.  
Replace fuse (see page 19).  
PROBLEM: Measured inverter output is too low.  
Possible cause  
Remedy  
Standard “average-  
reading” AC voltmeter  
used to measure output  
voltage, resulting in an  
apparent reading 5 to 15 V  
too low.  
Inverter’s “modified sine  
wave” output requires “true  
RMS” voltmeter for accurate  
measurements.  
Battery voltage is too low. Recharge battery.
