1 10-volt AC Operation CAUTION: Rechargeable Devices Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter unit of the Pocket Generator™. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this unit. This problem does no

To Use The Pocket Generator™ To Boost Vehicle’s Low Battery System WARNING: Be sure that the ON/OFF switch on the inverter is in the OFF position, before using unit as Battery Booster. Failure to do so may cause damage to the inverter, and will void manufacturer’s warranty. Note: The Pocket Generator™ will not fully charge a completely dead battery, but it can be used to boost a vehicle’s weak battery system, or to provide auxiliary power for the onboard electrical systems and selected memory s

INTRODUCTION The Power Force 50™ supplies 50-watts of continuous power, with an 80-watt peak, via a household-type outlet that is ready to deliver 110-volt AC power whenever and wherever it is needed. Simply, fully charge before use and turn ON the power switch to operate small electronic devices such as laptop computers, portable radio/cassette/CD players, color TVs (up to 50 watts), cellular phone and camcorder battery chargers, and more. The Power Force 50™ is equipped with an ON/OFF switch a

Power Force 50™ Output Waveform The AC output waveform of the Power Force 50™ is known as a “quasi-sine wave” or a “modified sine wave”. It is a stepped waveform that is designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. The modified sine wave produced by the Power Force 50™ inverter is designed to have an RMS

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECTTO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING: The Power Force 50™ is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source. CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES Certain rechargeable devices are d

OPERATING TIPS The Power Force 50™ should only be operated in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY - Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter. COOL - Ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C - ideally between 15°C and 25°C (60 - 80°F). Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all possible. VENTILATED

Battery Operating Time 1. Always turn power switch on the inverter to OFF position when unit is not in use. If the switch is left in the ON position, it will drain the Pocket Generator™ battery. 2. WARNING: Never run both AC and DC devices at the same time as this can damage the Pocket Generator™. 3. Always recharge unit after using. With a full charge, the Power Force 50™ inverter will deliver a minimum operating time of 30 minutes to one hour. In most instances, 1-3 hours of operating time is

Common Audio/Visual Problems Problem: Buzzing Sound In Audio Systems Some inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” emit a buzzing sound from their speakers when operated from the Power Force 50™ inverter, because the power supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound system that has a higher quality power supply internally. Problem: Television Interference The Vector™ Power Force
