The other end of the solar panel cable should be connected to the solar panel. Solar panel needs to be in direct sunlight.
• Charge from the wall outlet: Insert the Anderson into the solar charging port of the unit. Plug the other end of the wall charger into the wall outlet.
• Charge from a car cigarette lighter (12V) socket: Insert the Anderson (red/black) end of the cigarette cable (12V) to the Solar / Auto charger input socket on the unit. Plug the cigarette (12V) end of the cable into the car cigarette lighter socket in the car. The car must be running for the cigarette charger to charge the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can the Safari LT power?
A: The Safari LT can power several different devices like lights, mobile phones, laptops, and many others. Which devices it can power depends on the energy consumption of each device. The energy consumption is measured in watts (W). The Safari LT can power devices that need a total of 500W or less. It can power multiple devices at the same time if the total power needs of all the devices is 500W or less.

Q: How long can the Safari LT power a device?
A: It depends on the energy consumption or watt usage of the device. The lower the watt consumption, the longer the Safari LT can power it. To determine the estimated run time of the device, use this formula: Watt Hours / Watts = Estimated Run Time. For example, if the device you want to power uses 36W and the Safari LT has 450Wh then the estimated run time would be 450 / 36 = 12.5 hours.

Q: What if I forget to turn off the device after I used it?
A: The Safari LT will automatically turn itself off to conserve energy.

Troubleshooting

Q: What if I cannot charge my AC or DC devices when I turned on the Safari LT?
A: Check whether the AC or DC on/off button is turned on or not. Make sure it is turned on. Devices that require more than 500W cannot be charged by the Safari LT.
