models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com for

of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power
rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually.
To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the
circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not insert
any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the lid when
not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and failure.
