Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Rocketfish

product. Your RF-INV80 represents the state of the art in portable

power source design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free

performance.

You can use the power source to power or charge laptops and

other devices, such as DVD players and portable TVs. You can also

use the power source to charge batteries in other devices.

Safety information

Warning: The power source produces high voltage AC power just like

the power found in home power outlets. Do not put any other

object into the power source except standard electrical device

plugs. Failure to use the correct AC power plug could cause

electrical shock or fire.

• Fully charge the battery for five hours before you use it the first

time.

• Do not use the power source near flammable materials.

• Avoid leaving the power source in a hot vehicle.

• Avoid exposing the power source to direct sunlight because it

can cause overheating.

• Put the power source in a the place with adequate ventilation.

• Keep the power source away from all moisture and liquid.

• Turn off the power source or remove the connector from the

vehicle lighter plug while not using it.

• Do not insert any metal material into the ventilation opening

on the power source.

• Do not drop the power source on a hard surface.

• Do not press hard on the power source.

• Charge the internal battery at least once within every three

months to avoid battery damage.

• Keep away from children. The power source produces

dangerous high voltages.

• Never use the power source with devices that require more

the 80 W of power.

• Make sure that you use 14 AWG or larger wire. This ensures

that the power source has ample power to function correctly.

Also make sure the polarities are connected correctly.

Using the power source

Most electrical tools, appliances, and AV devices have labels that

indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Make sure that

the power consumption of the device you want to operate does

not exceed the rated power of the power supply.

If you are not sure what the device’s power consumption is, you can

safely try to operate the device from the power source. The built-in

overload protection shuts down the power source if the connected

device’s power consumption exceeds the power source’s capacity.

If the overload protection shuts down the power source, you need

to unplug the device before the power source will restart.

Resistive loads are the easiest for the power source to run. However,

larger resistive loads, such as electronic stoves or heaters, usually

require more wattage than the power supply can deliver on a

continuous basis. Inductive loads, such as some televisions, may

require two to six times their wattage rating to start up. The most

demanding in this category are those that start under load, such as

compressors and pumps.

Testing is the only definitive way to determine whether the power

supply can start a device and how long the device will run.

4 USB ports Plug USB devices, such as mobile phones or MP3

players, into these ports. The power supply charges

the connected device’s battery.

5 Ventilation opening Helps cool the power supply. Do not block or insert

objects into this opening.

6 110 V AC power connector Plug an electrical device into this connector.

Charging the battery

Make sure that you charge the battery five hours before you use it

the first time.

To charge the battery:

1 Connect the cigarette lighter or the AC power adapter cord to

the power supply.

2 Connect the other end of the cigarette lighter cord to a

vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

Or, connect the other end of the AC power adapter cord to a

power outlet.

3 Leave the power source connected for five hours if this is the

first time you have used it.

Connecting an electrical device

To connect an electrical device:

1 Plug the electrical device’s power cord into the 110 V AC port

on the front of the power supply.

2 Turn on the power supply and connected device.

Connecting a USB device

To connect a USB device:

1 Plug the USB device’s USB cable into one of the USB ports on

the front of the power source.

2 Turn on the power supply and connected device.

Maintaining

Fully charge the battery at least once every three months to

prevent battery damage.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution

No output voltage Cords are not connected securely. Make sure that all cords are connected

securely.

The power soure is in a protective

state.

Disconnect the AC or cigarette power

adapter cord, let the power source cool

(if necessary), then reconnect the cord.

The internal battery is completely

discharged.

Charge the battery for five hours.

Power supply does not

run the connected

device.

The connected device has a greater

power rating than the power source.

Use a device with a lower power

rating.

Starting power of the device is up to

two times that of its rated power.

Use a device that uses a lower starting

power.
