    Your new Audiovox ADC400 inverter is one in a series of the most advanced DC to AC inverters available today. With proper care and appropriate usage, it will give you years of dependable service in your car, truck, RV, boat or even airplane. The ADC400 supplies 400 watts of continuous power, with a

    ) electricity from a battery or other power source to standard 115 volt AC (alternating current) household power. In designing the ADC400, Audiovox has incorporated design techniques previously employed in computer power supplies. The result of these design innovations is a smaller, lighter and

    Connect the battery clip to the negative terminal of the battery. 3. Connect the red cable to the red post marked "(+)" on the back of the ADC400. Connect the battery clip to the positive terminal of the battery. 4. Check to be sure that all connections between battery clips and terminals are secure

    DO NOT USE WITH POSITIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. (THE MAJORITY OF MODERN AUTOMOBILES, RVs, AND TRUCKS ARE NEGATIVE GROUND) CONNECTION TO LOAD The ADC400 is equipped with dual standard North American AC power receptacles. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle

    to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the ADC400. Do not use the ADC400 to recharge items that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use

    will shut down if the internal temperature exceeds 90° C. The unit will restart once it cools down sufficiently. SAFE - Do not use the ADC400 near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases. 4. OPERATING TIPS Rated versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment

    most instances, 5 to 10 hours of operating time is achievable. However, Audiovox recommends that the operator start the vehicle every 2 to 3 hours to days, disconnect the ADC400 from the battery. 5. TROUBLE SHOOTING Protective Features of the ADC400 Your ADC400 monitors the following potentially

    ADC400 will shut down automatically shortly thereafter, when the battery voltage drops to 10 volts. If the low voltage alarm sounds when the battery is fully charged, follow the steps for solving lack of output power in the Troubleshooting Guide This is not indicative of a problem. COMMON PROBLEMS 10

    does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the ADC400. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply. Television Interference The Audiovox ADC400 is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some
