Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug.

Note:

Do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12 volts DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.

Note: Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette lighter element.

Note:

Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Note:

Always keep the power point caps closed when not in use.
