Operation

●

–

Do not spill liquids onto the socket.

The built-in overload disconnect func-

tion prevents any electrical devices

that require a high start-up current

from turning on. In this case, unplug

the electrical device's power supply and

re-try the connection after about 10

seconds.

into the 230 volt power socket. Otherwise,

the integrated child lock will be unlocked

and the power socket will operate.

The ignition is switched off, but

there is enough power available

to continue supplying the socket

with current for a maximum of 10

minutes. If the connector is un-

plugged before this time elapses,

the socket is disconnected and

cannot be used again until the ig-

nition is switched on again.

The power socket works only when the ig-

wise there is a possibility that they may be

injured.

There is an anomaly, e.g. discon-

Disconnection due to overheating

unplug the appliances from the USB ports

to protect them from any damage caused

by fluctuations in voltage.

When the temperature exceeds a certain

value, the 230 volt socket inverter is auto-

matically disconnected. The disconnection

prevents overheating when the power con-

sumption of the connected devices is exces-

sive or the ambient temperature is very high.

The 230-volt power supply can be used once

again after a cooling time. First unplug the

connector of the connected device and

then plug it back in again. This prevents the

electrical device from being switched on

again if this is not wanted.

CAUTION

●

Some appliances may not work properly

Always use the correct type of plugs to

avoid damaging the sockets.

when connected to the 230 volt sockets

due to a lack of power (watts).

CAUTION

–

Do not leave devices or connectors that

are too heavy (e.g. a transformer)

hanging directly from the power sock-

et.

–

Do not connect neon lamps.

WARNING

Only connect devices to the socket if

the device and socket voltage match.

The electrical system is under high voltage!
