Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

CAUTION: Equipment damage

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the Freedom HW. Do not use the following with the Freedom HW:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in powerhand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Important: if you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the Freedom HW, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if the appliance is acceptable for use with modified sine wave input voltage. See the detailed description of the Freedom HW waveform in Appendix A, “Specifications” under “Electrical Specifications: Inverter Mode” on page A–2.
