To use Power Joe to power multiple appliances inside your home, start by situating Power Joe outside your home in a well-ventilated area away from doors and windows. (Power Joe must always remain outside your home since it contains a running engine.) Using the included 25-ft heavy duty extension cord, connect the cord to Power Joe’s appropriate receptacle on its main dashboard. Then, run the cord through a back door or window of your home, and connect the cord to a power strip/surge protector. This will then provide power to the power strip/surge protector, allowing you to plug in multiple appliances around your home like lamps, TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, portable A/C units, fans, heaters, medical equipment, and more.
