READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT.
This portable unit provides safe, silent, and renewable electric power. This power unit is useful in
emergencies, and for work and play. It is very important to carefully read this user manual before
using the product.
The Safari ME includes excess-voltage, low-voltage, overload, short-circuit, and excess-temperature
protections. It also has built-in visual and audio alarms that are meant to alert you to potential
problems that may cause damage to the unit. The overload circuitry will protect against damage to
the unit and serve as a safety measure for anyone operating the unit.
Carefully read and strictly comply with all safety directives. Otherwise, personal bodily injury or death
may result.
Follow these directives for safe use:

How to use the power unit
The Safari ME is an energy storage solution that features 668 watts (W)charging, 600 watts (W)
solar charging and a 2,000 watts (W)pure sine wave inverter. It supports 12V, 25A DC output, two
USB 2.4 A outputs, an external battery (sold separately), and TFT screen display. It is compatible
with a wide range of device types.
Refer to the Parts Identificationisection above and follow the operating instructions below.
Turn the power unit on or off
Follow these steps to turn the power unit on or off:
1. Press the main switch, and then turn on 12V or USB power. Press the main switch again
to turn OFF power to the entire unit.
2. Press the AC switch to turn on AC output. Press the AC switch again to turn off AC
power.
Supply power to USB-A or USB-C devices
Follow these steps to supply electric power to USB-A or USB-C devices:
1. After pressing the main power button, press the USB ON/OFF button. The LCD display will
illuminate.
2. Connect one or more cables into the USB-A or USB-C sockets.
Supply power to an AC device
Follow these steps to supply electric power to an AC device:
1. After pressing the main power button, press the AC ON/OFF button. The LCD display will
illuminate.
2. Connect an AC cable to the AC socket.
Maximum AC power output
The maximum power output is 2,000W. If device power requirements exceed
2,000W, do not connect the device to this power unit.
Supply DC power to a device
Follow these steps to supply electric power to the 12V and 25V Anderson devices:
1. 1. Press the main switch. The LCD display will illuminate.
2. 2. Insert the DC cable into either the DC 12V output port or the 25V Anderson output port.
3. 3. With the main unit ON, press the DC output button to turn ON the DC output.

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).
Voltage 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.
Change the display mode
By default, the display is always on. To conserve power and place the display into "always-off"mode,
press-and-hold the Screen button for five seconds. Press the Screen button again for five seconds
to return to "always-on"mode.
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.

Troubleshooting
If none of your devices are charging after turning on the power to the Safari ME —fpress the
main switch to ensure that the power unit is on. Also, remember that any device that requires more
than 2,000W cannot be charged by this unit.
If the power unit won't turn on — If it has not be in use for awhile, it may be necessary to recharge
the power unit before trying to charge other devices with the Safari ME.
Battery information
It’s important to know this about the power unit before trying to charge other devices with the Safari
ME.
• The power unit contains a battery inside the Safari ME
• Do not attempt to remove the battery, since this may damage the unit.
• The battery can be charged and discharged over 2,500 times (main unit) 3,500 times (expansion
pack or Safari ME-XP, sold separately), but it will eventually lose capacity with heavy use.
Tips for improving performance of your power unit
These tips will help you get better service from your power unit:
•This power unit contains a durable, high-quality, high-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery. It
has no memory effect. However, it’s important to charge the unit within a temperature range of
50-86° F to achieve the optimal charging capacity.
• The LCD display provides charging status and current power. When done charge the unit from
the wall outlet, unplug the unit from the wall.
•To avoid interference when charging, keep the unit away from TV, radio, and other equipment.
•To extend battery lifebattery life of the Safari ME, use it and charge it at least every 3-4 months.
We recommend using it more often than that.
