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 (by 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 on the next page illustrates the battery status during
inverter mode as shown on the display panel.
