Targus APV10US1 100W Slim Line Mobile Inverter User Manual
Get Started
Power / Fault Indicator
- This light will flash (blue color) if the inverter encounters problems.
- LED is ON – Normal operation.
- LED is flashing – Low voltage warning signal indicates the supply voltage is low.
- LED is OFF – Unit is off and no power is being output. Either the inverter is not plugged into a powered socket or it has gone into protection mode due to overheating, overvoltage, overloading or short circuit.
Ventilation openings
WARNING
- Do not block or cover any louvered vents . Place the inverter on a flat surface with good ventilation between 0-35 oC and ideally 15-25 oC.
- Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of heat generating equipment.
- Keep inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all possible.
- Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter.
Fuse
CAUTIONS
This inverter is fitted with a spade type 32Vdc 15A fuse. If the fuse blows, replace with a same specification and type fuse. Usage of another type fuse or metal wire will cause abnormal overheating or even fire hazards.
Note: When replacing the fuse, please make sure that all the electrical device(s) are turned off and the power cables are unplugged. Make sure the fuse is replaced correctly and before reconnecting the device(s).

WARNINGS
- Any electric appliance with the power consumption beyond 100W is not allowed for usage.This inverter is not recommended for use with inductive loads, such as fluorescent lamps or pumps and most heat generation equipment such as hair dryers, coffee makers, irons, heaters and toasters. Otherwise, permanent damage to the unit and excessive overheating may result.
- If the external cable of this inverter is damaged, stop using this and contact the authorized agent to replace it in order to avoid hazard.
CAUTIONS Regularly check input and output connections are tight. Loose connections can generate harmful heat and / or damage the inverter or power source. Prevent shock hazard.
Trouble Shooting
Problem: No Power Output, indicator not ON
Possible causes and suggestions:
- The car’s battery is low (<11.5Vdc) or defective
Start the engine to recharge or replace the car’s battery if needed. Disconnect the input cable before starting the car’s engine to minimize power surge. If such a case occurs, reconnect the cable to resume normal operation. - Connection cable is not secured
Reconnect the cables and make sure all plugs are secured. - Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below and use equipment with starting surge power within inverter capability. - Inverter in thermal shut down condition
Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation around the unit. - Inverter fuse blown
Unplug the power cable and replace the fuse following fuse replacement instruction. - Automotive fuse for cigarette lighter blown
Check and replace the fuse for your car’s cigarette lighter following the instructions in your car’s service manual.
Problem: Low Output Voltage
Possible cause and suggestions:
- Inverter is overloaded
Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below to maintain regulation. - Input voltage below 11.5Vdc
Keep input voltage above 12Vdc to maintain regulation. Replace the car’s battery if needed.
WARNINGS
Any electric appliance with the power consumption beyond 100W is not allowed for usage.This inverter is not recommended for use with inductive loads, such as fluorescent lamps or pumps and most heat generation equipment such as hair dryers, coffee makers, irons, heaters and toasters. Otherwise, permanent damage to the unit and excessive overheating may result.
Safety Precautions
- This device outputs 120 Volts of electricity just as a wall socket does. Exercise extreme care that nothing comes in contact with the AC connector.
- Do not use in the presence of water or moisture.
- Do not use or place the inverter near flammable materials or any locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases.
- To avoid potential property damage, do not leave this inverter or any device operating unattended in vehicle.
- Always disconnect the input to the inverter when it is not in use.
- Disconnect the input cable before starting your car to minimize surges.
- Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter (Damage due to reversed polarity is not covered by our warranty).
- Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
- Improper use of this inverter can cause personal injury, property damage, and or loss of life.
- This is not a toy. Keep away from reach of children.
- Indoor use only
