Charging the power unit from a
wall outlet or 24V solar panel
1. Change this section to:
2. 1. To charge from a standard 120V wall outlet, plug the AC charging cord on the back of the
unit into a standard wall outlet.
3. 2. To charge from a 24V solar panel (sold separately), connect the solar panel with Anderson
connection cable to the solar Anderson connection input on the back of the Safari ME unit.
You can connect up to 6 24V solar panels.
4. 3. On the LCD display, you can see the charging status. When you are done charging,
disconnect the AC cord from the wall or disconnect the solar panel(s).
V
oltage specifications vary by country
This unit supplies power at 110V/60Hz. Consider this when connecting any
devices to this power unit.
Power outputs supply power when charging
Remember that all power outputs will supply power to devices when the power unit is charging.
Circuit breaker
The circuit breaker will activate if power limits are exceeded. To restore power to the entire unit,
simply press the circuit breaker button on the back of the unit.

Charge many types of devices
The power unit can power many types of devices, such as lights, mobile phones, laptops, and radios.
The total number of devices that the power unit can
charge
depends on the energy consumption of
each device. Energy consumption is measured in watts (W). The unit can supply electric power to
multiple devices that require a total of 2,000W of energy or less.
Power supply duration
The duration of power supply depends on the energy consumption or watt usage of all connected
devices. Lower total energy consumption will permit the power unit to supply power for more time.
Here is a guideline for estimating the run time of a device: Watt Hours / Watts = Estimated Run Time.
For example, if the device you want to power uses 36W and the power unit has 832Wh then the
estimated run time would be 832 / 36 = 23.1 hours.
Automatic shutoff
When all connected devices are no longer drawing power, the power unit will automatically turn off to
conserve energy.
