Freedom SW-RVC Installation Guide
n
Save the original shipping carton and packing materials. If
the inverter/charger needs to be returned for service, it
should be shipped in the original carton. Packing the
Freedom SW-RVC in the original shipping carton is also a
good way to protect the inverter/charger if it ever needs to
be moved.
