Buttons
There are four buttons on the front panel of the RC/GS and
RC7 used to control the inverter and enter system operating
parameters.
On/Off
The On/Off button controls the inverter section of the
inverter/charger. Press this button once to turn the inverter on
or off. The charger section of the inverter is not affected by
this function and maintains the batteries whenever AC power
is present. Use this control when you do not want the inverter
to supply backup power in the event of an AC line failure. If
the inverter is off, AC output power is available only as long
as the AC line is present. On the RC/GS, the On/Off button
also controls the generator. See “Generator Start/Stop (RC/
GS Only)” on page 44.
Meter Mode
The Meter Mode button accesses the various operating
parameters such as output voltage, amperage, temperature,
etc. To access the Meter Mode, press and hold the Meter
Mode button for approximately five seconds. See “Meters
Display” on page 41.

Note:
The inverter is in a ready state when AC utility power is
connected and the green Inverter LED is flashing. Pressing the
On/Off button while the green LED is on solid (indicating
inverter mode) will cause the loss of the inverter output.
