■Appliances that may not operate properly (120 V AC)
The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power consumption
is under 100 W.
●Appliances with high initial peak wattage
●Measuring devices that process precise data.
●Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■To prevent battery discharge
12 V DC: Do not use the power outlet longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.
120 V AC: Turn off all the vehicle’s electron ic equipment and accessories, such as the
headlights and air conditioning , when electrical appliances that consume in excess of
100 W are used continuously for long periods of time.
