Precautions for Using 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.
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.
Regulatory
The Freedom HF Inverter/Charger is certified to appropriate US and
Canadian standards. For more information see .
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.
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.
RISK OF DAMAGE TO RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES
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.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
LIMITATIONS ON USE
Do not use in connection with life support systems.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
