10 5 Using the Inverter Through its AC outlet, the XPower inverter is capable of continuously powering most 12 0 V AC pro ducts that use 100 W or less.
11 4. Plug the device you want to operate into the XPower inverter. See “I nverter Operation” on page 13. 5. When the power inverter is not in use, unplu g it from the 12 V outlet to prevent slight discharge of the battery . Using the DC Cable wi th Airplane P ower Plug 1.
12 Airline Compatibility T able 1 provides a list of airlines, ai rcraft, and passenger classes that have DC power sockets compatible with t he XPow er Pocket Inverter 100.
13 6 Inverter Oper ation 1. When properly connected to a 12 V outl et, the light will glow blue , ind icating 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.
14 • If an AC product rated higher than 100 W is plugged into the XPower inv erter, 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 environ ment, it automatically shuts down.
15 Battery Operating Time Operating time will vary dependin g on the charge level of the battery , it s capaci ty and th e power level drawn by the particular AC load, USB load, or combination of both. W ith a typical vehicle battery and a 80 W load, an operating time of 4 to 5 hours or more can be expected.
16 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 onl y solution is an audio product with a higher quality fil ter .
