Operating in Shore Power Mode
The Freedom HF operates in shore power mode when an AC source 
(a generator or utility power) is present at the AC input terminals. 
When the AC source is within operating range, the Freedom HF unit 
bypasses inverter function and powers the appliances connected to 
the unit. See “Transitioning from Inverter Mode to Shore Power” on 
page 21
.
The Freedom HF also automatically charges the battery bank that is 
connected while in shore power mode. See “Battery Charging” on 
page 26
.
The Green status LED lights up to indicate that the Freedom HF is 
using utility (or generator) power and the battery is full. A flashing 
Green LED indicates that the unit is charging the battery.
When shore power is present, AC power will automatically pass 
through the Freedom HF. Pressing the Inverter Power button on the 
display panel will not interrupt the supply of shore power. Shore 
Power mode supersedes Inverter mode.
When the Freedom HF ‘s Inverter Power button is turned ON and 
the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, the 
transfer switch automatically switches to inverter mode. See 
“Transitioning from Shore Power to Inverter Mode” on page 21.
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.
Inverter Mode Setting is ON (“Standby”)
When the Freedom HF’s Inverter mode setting is turned on (“”) 
and the AC source is outside the operating range or is disconnected, 
the transfer switch automatically switches to inverter function. This 
means that the AC output terminals will provide power from the 
battery and any appliance connected to the AC output terminals will 
operate.
