NOTE: Freedom battery chargers are ON
whenever AC power is connected to the
charger input. The charger can be turned OFF
using the CHARGE switch on the front of the
unit. This sequence will occur each time
external AC power is available. The charger
can be turned ON/OFF using the Remote
Control Panel or Link Instrumentation.
Each time the battery charger is engaged,
the 3-stage charger proceeds automatically,
resulting in an efficient complete charge and
safe battery maintenance. Use of the Remote
Control Panel or Link Instrument provides the
ability to periodically apply an equalizing
charge.
Refer to Remote Control Panel or the
Link Instrument Owner' s Manual for more
