Running 110v while on shore power?

Need some help please. I'm plugged into shore power in my driveway and charging the house battery. I have a Xantrex ProSine 2.0 inverter/charger. When I plug a night light into the 110v outlet for testing, the outlets are not working. MY SMB is fairly new to me but I've charged the house battery before and had no problems, however, I've never used the 110v outlets. I've read the manual and believe I understand most everything. Obviously, not quite everything though. (I've checked the night light and it works)

The inverter/charger is 'on'.
The breaker is 'on'.
The display is 'on'.
The inverter LED display lights are on 'standby' and 'AC in'.
The charger LED display light is on 'charging'.
The display says I have 120v and 5 amps coming in.

I'm assuming its something simple that I'm not doing. Anybody have ideas?

Thanks for any help,

Mike

Thanks Dave, it worked. Thought I checked it and was fine. I knew it had to be simple.

I appreciate your help.

GFI won't set without power behind it, a lesson I'm constantly forgetting...
