Low Power Mode
When no external AC power is available, the remote panel LEDs can
be turned Off to conserve battery power. Turning off the INVERT
function (with external AC absent) activates the low power mode.
In this mode, if one of the front panel keys is pressed, the display will
become active. Press
and the unit will display data for a short period of time, then return to
the Low Power Mode. If
is activated and Low Power Mode is cancelled.
Equalizing Charge Mode
The Freedom Remote has a special charging mode that improves the
condition of batteries. Equalizing helps maintain battery capacity and
extends life by deliberately overcharging batteries for a short period of
time. Do not equalize gel cell batteries.
OPERATING TIP: How often should batteries be equalized? It is
recommended that after 30 deep cycles or once a year the batteries
should be equalized. Check with the battery manufacturer for specific
battery requirements.
