Operating 12 Volt DC Appliances
18
Typical 12 volt DC appliances that can be used on the Jazz PP
300 C are listed in Table 2.
To operate a 12 volt DC appliance:
1. Plug the 12 volt DC appliance into the DC power socket
on the right side of the unit, and turn the 12 volt DC
appliance on (if required).
If the 12 volt DC appliance is drawing more than 12
amps (or has a short circuit defect), the internal circuit
breaker of the Jazz PP 300 C shuts the power off to the 12
volt DC appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12 volt DC
appliance, and the internal circuit breaker automatically
resets after a few seconds.
2. Fully recharge the Jazz PP 300 C as soon as possible after
each use.
As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the
internal battery, extended operation of a 12 volt DC
appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See
Caution for “Equipment damage” on page 17.
