Typical Connection Diagram
You can connect only one power source which is the Freedom X | XC series. The Combox has no power switch. As long as the Combox and the Freedom X | XC series are connected and Freedom X | XC series is connected to a battery, the Combox will receive power.Only one auxiliary device can be connected at any time. In this diagram, a universal control monitor is connected via the RV-C port.CAN network 120-ohm termination may be required.
