Introduction Dear Whistler Owner,

For many of us, a vehicle is more than just transportation. It can be a mobile office, communications or entertainment center, or simply an expression of our personality. Whistler products are designed to make the time you spend in your vehicle more productive, more fulfilling, safer, or just simply more fun. Our mission is to provide products that improve your driving experience.

Whistler offers a complete line of DC to AC inverters ranging in capacity from 75 Watts to 3000 Watts. These inverters offer advanced technology, dependable operation and will provide years of reliable service when used in accordance with our operating instructions.

Getting Started 1. Remove your cigarette lighter and push

the the 12-volt power plug firmly into the cigarette lighter receptacle in your vehicle. If the unit is loose in the lighter socket, unplug the inverter and slide the adjustment button to the other position and reinstall the inverter.

2. The LED Indicator light should glow GREEN confirming that there is power running to the inverter.

3. Plug the appliance into the AC receptacle on the rear panel of the inverter.

Your new Whistler power inverter allows you to run some AC appliances right from your car, boat or RV. Theyre great for weekend use and life on the road. Theyre also great for power outages!

To fully acquaint yourself with the operation of this inverter we recommend reading this entire manual.

Sincerely,

When attempting to operate battery chargers, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for approximately 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm disconnect it from the inverter immediately.

Use only 10 amp glass type fuse. To avoid battery drain, always disconnect

the inverter when not in use. Avoid placing the inverter near sources

of heat or in direct sunlight. While in use, make sure the inverter is

properly ventilated. When operating the inverter with an

automobile or marine battery, start the engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
