Operating Several Appliances at Once
You can run several AC appliances if the total rating of all the
appliances (in watts) does not exceed 160 W. You can run
appliances using an AC power bar.
Run time, however, will decrease accordingly with the
number of appliances being operated and the AC power being
consumed.
Operating an AC Appliance
Before operating your AC appliance, ensure that the battery
of the XPower Powerpack is fully charged. See “Recharging
with the AC Charger” on page 11 for details.
To operate an AC appliance:
1. Turn the AC Power On/Off Switch to the ON position.
The switch illuminates to indicate AC power is available
at the AC Power Outlet.
2. Remove the protective cover on the AC power outlet.
3. Plug the AC appliance into the AC Power Outlet and turn
the appliance on. XPower Powerpack will operate most
devices rated up to 160 W.
4. Recharge the XPower Powerpack as soon as possible
after each use.
When using the XPower Powerpack to operate an AC
appliance and the low battery warning sounds, the warning
gives you time to shut your AC appliance off before loss of
AC power.
Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the
inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.
