Operating in Inverter Mode

The Freedom HF is in inverter mode when shore power is not presently available and the unit is using the battery (inverting DC to AC) to power the appliances connected to the Freedom HF.

The Yellow status LED lights up to indicate the Freedom HF is using the battery to power the appliances.

The table below illustrates the battery status during inverter mode as shown on the display panel.

Turning the Inverter Function On and Off

The Inverter button on the display panel turns the Freedom HF’s Inverter function ON and OFF. To operate, press the button and hold for one second.

When shore power is NOT present:

the AC outlets will supply power to any attached appliances when the Inverter button is turned ON, and

the AC outlets will not supply power to any attached appliances when the Inverter button is turned OFF.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Turning the Inverter button OFF does not disconnect DC battery power from the Freedom HF. You must disconnect both AC and DC power before working on any circuits connected to the Freedom HF.

To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the Inverter button off when you are not using the Freedom HF.
