Precautions When Using
Rechargeable Appliances
NOTICE
RISK OF INVERTER/CHARGER DAMAGE
Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or
transformer that isplugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage
charging output.
Some chargers for smallrechargeable batteriescan be damaged if connected
to the Freedom HF. Avoid using the following with the Freedom HF:
•Smallbattery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that
can be plugged directlyinto an AC receptacle to recharge.
•Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected
chargers display a warning label stating that dangerousvoltages are present
at the battery terminals.
If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the Freedom
HF, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if the appliance is
acceptable for use with an inverter that has a modified sine wave output voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
