Display and Buttons

LIGHT This button activates the display
Press the PAIR button to connect your power station to the
PAIR
Goal Zero app.
Press the INFO button to alternate between the battery state
INFO of charge percentage and the Hours to Empty/Full on your
Yeti's screen.
Shows the amount of power (watts) going into the Yeti while
charging. If charging from solar, you'll see the watts change
as you reposition the panels into/out of the sunlight, or if the
panels are shaded by other objects.
Shows the amount of power (watts) your devices are using while
plugged into the Yeti.
Shows the amount of time before your Yeti is completely
charged or empty, depending on if the net amount of power
going into the Yeti is positive or negative.
Shows 10 segments, approximating 10% per segment As
you use your power station, segments will disappear from the
display, indicating the remaining charge. When charging your
Yeti, you will notice a battery segment blinking. This indicates
the current charge status. Once your Yeti is fully charged, all
battery segments will be lit and remain solid. As long as there
is more power going into the Yeti than is being pulled from
the output ports, the display will also indicate an estimated
time until fully charged. This is an estimated time based on
the power input and output numbers at that time; it will adjust
to a shorter or longer time if the charge or discharge rates
fluctuate. Note that when you first plug in a power source,
whether it's a solar panel or a wall charger, the Yeti may take a
minute to detect and adjust its charge circuitry before it starts
drawing power from the source.

AUTOMATIC POWER SWITCHING (APS)
The product will automatically enter the Automatic Power Switching (APS) mode
when you are inputting power into the AC input port and simultaneously outputting
through the AC output. Power will pass directly from the grid or AC power source to
the loads connected to the Yeti and bypass the inverter of the Yeti. If grid power is
interrupted, power will quickly switch to Yeti power.
The Yeti switches from grid to battery in under 20ms, but it does not support 0ms
switching. Some sensitive loads may be interrupted during the switch over. When
using your Yeti in APS mode, do not overload the AC output.
NOTE: If the AC output of your Yeti exceeds the 10A AC input breaker, the breaker
will trip and need to be reset after the load is reduced below the 10A limit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes ordinances. If
the unit is not connected to ground by the AC cord, it should be grounded with the
grounding connection that is included on the back of the power station.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor is able
to result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
