Power Inverter, DC to ACAH640R Users GuideCAUTION: Be certain that product hookup/usage does not interfere with driving in anyway. Some states prohibit the use of A/V equipment while driving.This RCA brand Power Inverter lets you operate AC-powered electronic devicesrated up to 400 Watts of continuous power*, such as TVs, VCRs, Video Games,Camcorders, and Notebook Computers from the 12-volt DC power supplied byyour car, boat, or RV. This RCA-brand Power Inverter provides two AC outletswherever you need one by converting the 12-volt DC (direct current) supplied inyour vehicle to 110-volts AC (alternating current) found in standard householdAC outlets. The AH640R also provides a USB outlet, allowing it to serve as a USBpower adapter as well.The USB power port provides up to 1000mA at 5V DC current.IMPORTANT: Check that the inverter power is large enough to cover the requiredwattage of your electronic device you want to connect.Safety Features• Low voltage alarm – alarm sounds if input voltage drops below 11.0 volts• Low voltage shutdown – unit automatically shuts down if input voltagedrops below 11.0 volts to prevent unexpected dead car batteries• Automatic short-circuit detection and shutdown• Automatic overload detection and shutdown• Thermal protection sensor—shuts the unit down if it becomes too hot• Green power-on LEDConnecting the Inverter:IMPORTANT NOTE: Most vehicles come equipped with a 15-amp or 20-amp fuse tothe cigarette lighter. To determine the wattage capacity of your cigarette lighter outlet,multiply the amperage rating for your fuse by 12 (volts x amps = watts). For example: 12volts x 20 amp fuse =240 watts. Connecting equipment with a combined wattage ratingthat exceeds the capacity of your cigarette lighter outlet may cause your vehicle’scigarette lighter fuse to blow. Use the supplied direct battery connection adapter inthese cases.For your safety and continued fi re protection, never replace a fuse with one of a higheramperage rating than the original fuse.A. Connecting equipment that is within the capacity of your cigarette lighteroutlet:1. Connect the cable with the cigarette plug on one end by matching the redand black wires to the red and black terminals*2. Plug the cigarette lighter plug into the cigarette lighter outlet in yourvehicle.3. Turn the on/off switch on the Power Inverter to the “on” position.4. Plug the device you wish to use into the AC outlet on the Power Inverter.5. Turn the power switch of the device on.6. Use the device as you normally would.B.
