4. Operating

The R1500 LITE offers various output options and operating modes.

4.1 Turning On/Off Output Ports

Each output section (DC, AC) can be independently turned on or off to conserve power:

• DC Output (USB-A, USB-C, 12V): Press the DC output button (located below the USB ports) for 3 seconds to toggle power on/off. A green light indicates it's active.
• AC Output: Press the AC output button (located above the AC outlets) for 3 seconds to toggle power on/off. A green light indicates it's active.

4.2 Charging Modes

The R1500 LITE supports different charging modes for flexibility:

• Fast Mode: Utilizes 1200W AC input for rapid charging (approx. 50 mins for 0-80%).
• Standard Mode: Uses 1000W AC input.
• Mute Mode: Uses 400W AC input for quiet charging, ideal for overnight or sensitive environments.
