Important limits

  • Do not exceed the rating of the installed 400W or 2400W inverter; verify the vehicle label and owner manual before connecting a high-load device.
  • Use only intact, dry equipment and keep plugs and receptacles protected from water and debris.
  • Switch the outlets off when they are not needed.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the master-switch indicator is dark, the outlets are not active.
  • ✓If the indicator will not illuminate, disconnect every load, confirm the vehicle is in an owner-manual-approved power state and try again.
  • ✓If operation stops after connecting a device, remove the load and verify that its demand does not exceed the inverter rating.
