NOTE: The charger’s operation is independent of the inverter. With the inverter in OFF mode, the charger can be set to come on when AC is available, but have the inverter stay off when AC is disconnected.

<OFF> disables all charger functions in the FX.

<AUTO> enables automatic battery charging, silent, and “re-float” when an AC input source is connected.

<ON> also recharges the batteries, but eventually remains in the “float” charging stage (and eliminates silent mode) until the AC input is disconnected.

<OK> returns to the point in the menu system where you entered the CHARGER CONTROL screen.
