AC POWER SUPPLY CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
The illustration below details the AC Power Supply front panel. Air vents keep the unit from
overheating. An On/Off switch turns the AC power circuitry on and off. The ON/OFF switch can
also be used to reset the AC power after shutdown due to overvoltage, overload or over-
temperature condition. The “On” status indicator lights when the AC power supply is on. The
AC outlets (covered when not in use) supply power to AC appliances.
AC Power Supply Operation
1. Turn power switch to on (the power indicator lights).
2. Plug in appliance and turn the appliance on.
Note: The AC power supply shuts down automatically when the battery voltage level is too
low. If the green LED flashes, a faulty condition such as an overload, overheating or short
circuiting has occurred. Turn the AC Power Supply off and unplug the appliance. Wait a
few minutes, then turn power back on.
