Thank
you
for
purchasing
the
XPower
Pocket
Inverter
FM.
The
XPower
inverter
is
part
of
a
family
of
advanced
high-performance
power
inverters
from
Xantrex,
the
leader
in
high-frequency
inverter
design.
Connected
to
the
12
volt
outlet
in
your
vehicle,
the
XPower
inverter
efficiently
and
reliably
powers
a wide
variety
of
loads
through
the
AC
outlet.
With
a built-in
FM
transmitter,
you
can
plug
an
iPod™
and other
audio
devices
through
the
audio
input
port
and listen
to
the
sound
via
your
vehicle’s
factory-installed
or
third-party
stereo/radio
tuner.
The
XPower
inverter
uses
reliable
solid
state
power
electronics
for
years
of
safe,
trouble-free
operation and
includes
automatic
safety
monitoring
circuitry
to
protect
it,
and
your
battery,
from
inadvertent
overload
conditions.
Read
this
guide
before
connecting
or
using
the
XPower
inverter,
and
save
it
for
future
reference.

following
safety
instructions
and
pay
special
attention
to
all
Caution
and
Warning
statements
in
the
guide.
Warnings
identify
conditions
that
may
result
in
personal
injury
or
loss
of
life.
Cautions

extended high power operation. During operation,
keep it away from materials that may be affected by
high temperatures.

Do not use the XPower inverter in the presence of
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do
not use the XPower inverter in an enclosure
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.
These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent
explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by
sparks from electrical connections.

Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the
three-prong AC outlet. The prongs of an AC plug
can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong
can slip outside the inverter and become a shock
hazard.

Grip the inverter carefully when inserting or
removing an AC plug. Keep your fingers clear of
the AC outlet. Ensure that your fingers do not
contact the prongs of an AC plug when the plug is
partially inside the inverter.

Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries
can be damaged if connected to the XPower inverter.
Do not use the inverter with the following
appliances:
• Small battery-operated appliances like
rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable
shavers, and night lights that are plugged
directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Battery chargers used in hand power tools.
These chargers display a warning label stating
that dangerous voltages are present at the
charger battery terminals.
CAUT
ION
Do not connect live AC power to the XPower
inverter’s AC outlets. This will damage the inverter,
and the damage is not covered by warranty.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral
conductor connected to ground to the XPower
inverter.

Using
the
Inverter
Through
its
AC
outlet,
the
XPower
inverter
is
capable
of
powering
most
120
V
AC
products
that
use
100
W
or
less.
The
XPower
inverter’s
AC
output
waveform,
called
“modified
sine
wave,”
is
designed
to
function
similarly
to
the
sine
wave
shape
of
utility
power.
Using
the
DC
Cable
with
Cigar
ette
Lighter
Plug
Due
to
the
limitations
of
12
V
outlets
in
vehicles
or
boats,
the
XPower
inverter
should
only
be
used
to
supply
AC
power
to
products
that
require
100
W
(about
0.8
A)
or
less.
1.
Plug
the
DC
cable
(Xantrex
part
number:
808-7141)
into
the
DC
cable
port
on
the
XPower
inverter.
Observe
correct
polarity.

damage
When plugging in the DC cable, ensure that the plug
aligns with the DC cable port. Failure to do so will
result in reverse polarity and a blown fuse.

Insert
the
cigarette
lighter
plug
into
the
12
V
outlet.

Plug
the
device
you
want
to
operate
into
the
XPower
inverter.
See
“Inverter
Operation”
on
page

4.
When
the
inverter
is
not
in
use,
unplug
it
from
the
12
V
outlet
to
prevent
slight
discharge
of
the
battery.

When
properly
connected
to
a
12
V
outlet
the
power/fault
light
indicator
will
glow
green,
indicating
the
inverter
is
ready.

product(s)
you
want
to
operate
into
the
AC
outlet
and
switch
them
on
(if
necessary).
Oper
ating
Guidelines
•
As
the
battery
is
used,
its
voltage
begins
to
fall.
When
the
XPower
inverter
senses
that
the
voltage
at
its
DC
input
has
dropped
to
10.5
V,
the
inverter
automatically
shuts
down
and
the
light
glows
red,
indicating
a
fault.
This
prevents
the
battery
from
being
damaged.
Turn
off
any
devices
that
the
XPower
inverter
is
powering.
Important:
Vehicle
batteries
are
designed
to
provide
brief
periods
of
very
high
current
needed
for
engine
starting.
They
are
not
intended
for
constant
deep
discharge.
Regularly
operating
the
XPower
inverter
from
a
vehicle
battery
until
low-voltage
shutdown
occurs
will
shorten
the
life
of
the
battery.

•
If
an
AC
product
rated
higher
than
100
W
is
plugged
into
the
XPower
inverter,
the
inverter
will
shut
down.
The
red
fault
light
comes
on.
•
If
the
XPower
inverter
exceeds
a
safe
operating
temperature,
due
to
insufficient
ventilation
or
a
high-temperature
environment,
it
automatically
shuts
down.
The
red
fault
light
comes
on.
•
Should
a
defective
battery
charging
system
cause
the
battery
voltage
to
rise
to
dangerously
high
levels,
the
XPower
inverter
automatically
shuts
down.
The
red
fault
light
comes
on.
CAUT
ION
Although the XPower inverter incorporates
protection against over-voltage, it may still be
damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 V.
•
In
the
event
of
an
overload,
low
battery
voltage
or
overheating,
the
XPower
inverter
automatically
shuts
down.

Battery
Oper
ating
Time
Operating
time
will
vary
depending
on
the
charge
level
of
the
battery,
its
capacity
and
the
power
level
drawn
by
the
particular
AC
load.
With
a
typical
vehicle
battery
and
an
80
W
load,
an
operating
time
of
4
to
5
hours
or
more
can
be
expected.
When
using
a
vehicle
battery
as
a
power
source,
it
is
strongly
recommended
to
start
the
vehicle
every
hour
or
two
to
recharge
the
battery
before
its
capacity
drops
too
low.
The
XPower
inverter
can
operate
while
the
engine
is
running,
but
the
normal
voltage
drop
that
occurs
during
starting
of
the
engine
may
trigger
the
inverter’s
low
voltage
shutdown
feature.
Interfer
ence
with
Electr
onic
Equipment
Generally,
most
AC
products
operate
with
the
XPower
inverter
just
as
they
would
with
household
AC
power.
Below
is
information
concerning
two
possible
exceptions.

Buzzing
sound
in
audio
systems
and
r
a
dios
Some
inexpensive
stereo
systems
and
AM-FM
radios
have
inadequate
internal
power
supply
filtering
and
“buzz”
slightly
when
powered
by
the
XPower
inverter.
Generally,
the
only
solution
is
an
audio
product
with
a
higher
quality
filter.

The
XPower
inverter
is
shielded
to
minimize
its
interference
with
TV
signals.
However,
with
weak
TV
signals
interference
may
be
visible
in
the
form
of
lines
scrolling
across
the
screen.
The
following
should
minimize
or
eliminate
the
problem:
•
Increase
the
distance
between
the
XPower
inverter
and
the
TV,
antenna
and
cables.
•
Adjust
the
orientation
of
the
XPower
inverter,
television,
antenna
and
cables.
•
Maximize
TV
signal
strength
by
using
a
better
antenna
and
use
shielded
antenna
cable
where
possible.
