Normální svtage Rozsahy:

• Před nastartováním vozidla: 13.4 V - 14.8 V
• After starting the vehicle: 12.2 V - 12.8 V

Pokud zvtage drops below 12V, it indicates an abnormal voltage, and the battery should be checked or replaced as soon as possible.

4.4 Using the 12V Cigarette Lighter Socket

Insert any compatible 12V accessory into the cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the accessory's power requirements do not exceed the panel's maximum current rating.

5. Bezpečnostní informace

• Před prováděním jakýchkoli elektrických prací vždy odpojte baterii vozidla.
