DC to AC Power Inverter The Power Dome’s inverter can operate most AC appliances or a combination of appliances up to 400 watts. Operating time is dependant on the AC load (watts) and the charge and condition of Power Dome’s internal battery. Reduced AC loads and full charge on the battery will result in longer operating time. Be sure to turn off or disconnect any AC appliance not in use. There is a user replaceable 40 amp automotive type fuse below the Inverter Power Switch. This fuse protects the inverter from an unlikely excessive input current. Ordinary overloads will cause the inverter to automatically shut down. Reduce the load and restart the inverter. Using the Power Inverter

1. Open the AC outlet dust cover.

2. Connect the AC appliance or appliances to either AC outlet.

3. Turn the Inverter on by flipping the switch to the “||” position.

4. If the Inverter Power Indicator light is green, the inverter is operating.

5. Turn on one AC appliance and observe the Power Indicator.

• If the LED remains green, then turn on the second appliance.

• If the Power Indicator remains green, then both appliances are operating properly.

• After use, remove the appliance plug and close the dust cover.

• If the Power indicator LED is not lit, then reduce the AC load. If the inverter is still not operating, refer to the troubleshooting table at the end of this User’s Manual.

• Recharge Power Dome as soon as convenient. Note:

• “|” = Turns on USB ports and DC outlets

• “||” = Turns on AC Inverter, USB ports, and DC outlets CAUTION Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These devices are likely to operate properly with this inverter. Rechargeable devices that have built-in chargers (see device owner’s manual) may not operate properly with this type of inverter. Some motorized devices may operate at excessively elevated temperature when used with this inverter. During first use with this inverter, check for excessive motor temperature. Abnormally elevated temperature of the device is an indication that they should not be used together. DC Power Port DC Power Port (accessory socket) is located to the left of the Battery Status meter (voltmeter). The port can power a DC load up to 11 Amps. Overloading the port will result in tripping (a self-resetting circuit breaker). Removing the overload automatically restores power to the DC Power Port.

• Uncover the dust cover from the Power Port.

• Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into the Power Port.

• Operate the appliance as usual.

• After use, disconnect the accessory plug from the Power Port and store the accessory.

• Replace the Power Port’s dust cover.

• Recharge the Power Dome as soon as convenient. www.wagan.com ©2010 Wagan CorporationAll Rights ReservedWagan and wagan.com are trademarks used by Wagan CorporationRadio Tuning DialRadio Power Switch/ Volumn ControlAudio Input JackAM-FM SelectorUSB Power PortLight (on side)AntennaJumper Safety SwitchCompressor GaugeCompressor Power SwitchAir Hose Compartment Power Dome

Rear View AM/FM Radio The Radio can receive frequencies in the standard AM and FM broadcast bands: AM 520 to 1710 kHz; FM 88 to 108 MHz. An extendable rod antenna provides adequate signal to receive all local radio stations. When not in use, the antenna should be stored in its parking location. This will prevent damage to the antenna while Power Dome is being moved. All Radio controls are conveniently located in one area. The controls are: Radio Power Switch/Volume Control, AM/FM Selection Switch, a Tuning Dial, and an Audio Input Jack for external audio devices such as MP3s or CD players (Requires 3.5 mm mini audio cable-not included). A USB Power Port is to the right of the Audio Output Jack can power/charge devices that require 5 Volts at up to 500 mA through the use of a user-supplied cord. To save energy, first raise and extend the antenna and select the AM or FM band before turning on the radio. NOTE: All AM band radios are subject to receiving noise interference from electronic devices, static lightning strikes and some motorized equipment. If you are operating the Power Dome inverter and noise is being received on the AM band, turn off the inverter or change the radio to receive the FM band. Using the AM/FM Radio

1. Carefully raise and extend the multi-section antenna.

2. Select either AM or FM band.

3. Turn on the radio by turning the Radio Power Switch/Volumn Control knob clockwise.

4. Rotate the tuning dial to the desired frequency.

5. Adjust the volume control to desired loudness.

6. Adjust the position of the antenna for best reception.

7. After use, turn off the Radio by rotating the power/volume knob counterclockwise until

8. Carefully retract the antenna and return it to the parked position.

Air Compressor The Air Compressor can inflate a variety of tires and inflatable equipment. It can provide inflation pressure up to 260 PSI (pounds per square inch). Be careful not to over inflate. Monitor the compressor gauge while inflating. The compressor’s power switch is located above the compressor hose compartment. Compressor Hose Compartment Using the Air Compressor CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect the nozzle with the compressor operating.

1. Before any tire inflation, look for the recommended inflation pressure information on

the sidewall of the tire.

2. Open the compartment door at the rear of the Power Dome and extend the air hose.

3. Position the Power Dome so that you can see the pressure gauge.

4. Make sure the chuck lever is positioned up (away from the chuck opening).
