Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

RISK OF DAMAGE TO RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

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 HF. Avoid using the following with the Freedom HF:

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 power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the Freedom HF, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if the appliance is acceptable for use with an inverter that has a modified sine wave output voltage.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

Regulatory

The Freedom HF Inverter/Charger is certified to appropriate US and Canadian standards. For more information see “Regulatory Approvals” on page 43.

The Freedom HF Inverter/Charger is intended to be used for mobile or commercial applications. This inverter/charger is designed for marine applications only when additional drip protection is installed in certain orientations. See the installation guide for information.

It is not intended for other applications as it may not comply with the additional safety code requirements needed for those other applications. See “Limitations On Use” below.

LIMITATIONS ON USE

Do not use in connection with life support systems.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: The Freedom HF Inverter/Charger is a modified sine wave inverter/ charger. Please ensure your equipment or devices are compatible with modified sine wave prior to usage.
