16 Freedom HF Owner’s Guide
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 20.
The Freedom HF also automatically charges the battery bank that is
connected while in shore power mode. See “Battery Charging” on page 24.
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 20.
