WELL-VENTILATED — Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation around theunit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation. The unit will shut down if the internaltemperature gets too hot.SAFE — Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammablefumes or gases. This is an electrical appliance that can briefly spark when electrical connections are made orbroken.Notes on Using the Remote Control (sold separately)For ease of use, Vector offers (as a separate item) a Remote Control specifically designed for this line of MAXXSST inverters. The inverter ON/OFF Switch must be in the OFF position when connecting the Remote Control tothe unit or the Remote Control will not operate. Once the unit has been turned ON using the Remote Control,inverter operation will continue to be controlled through the Remote Control. Turn the inverter OFF beforedisconnecting the Remote Control.For more information about attaching and using the Remote Control, please refer to the Remote Control User’sManual.TROUBLESHOOTINGCommon Audio/Visual ProblemsProblem Solution“Buzzing” sound in audiosystemsSome inexpensive stereo systems and “boom boxes” emit a buzzing sound fromtheir speakers when operated from the Power Inverter. This occurs because thepower supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sinewave produced by the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a higherquality sound system that incorporates a higher quality power amplified supply.Television Interference The Inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, insome instances, some interference may still be visible, particularly with weak TVsignals. Try the following corrective measures:• Position the inverter as far as possible from the television, the antenna and theantenna cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.• Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables and the TV power cordto minimize interference.• Make sure the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate (“snowfree”) signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.• Do not use the inverter to operate high-power appliances or tools at the sametime you are using it to operate the TV.• Make sure the inverter’s case is properly grounded (refer to the “PermanentInstallation Procedure” section of this Instruction Manual).1090548013 VEC051D INVERTER.qxp 3/6/09 10:31 AM Page 10
