Operating During Transition Between Grid Mode and Battery Mode

Transitioning from Grid Mode to
Battery Mode
When the unit is operating in grid mode and shore power is lost,
the Freedom X has less than 20 milliseconds (default) to switch to
operating in battery mode (if the Power button is pressed in the On
position) and starts drawing power from the battery.
The operating mode indicator will change to Battery Mode and the
green Status LED for Battery Mode will light up.
However, if the Power button is in Standby mode, this transition
does not happen and the display panel turns off.
