Chapter 3: Precautions
3.0 Electrical Precautions
• The power switch must be in the “OFF” position before plugging the NBC into a
wall receptacle.
• The NBC must ONLY be connected to a 120-volt AC 15- or 20-amp power supply.
• The NBC must only be used by adults or with adult supervision.
• Always store the power cord around the cord wraps when transporting the NBC.
• Never pull the NBC by the power cord.
• Do not plug the NBC in if the switch, receptacle(s), or power cord have been
damaged. All electrical components on this product must be repaired by a qualified
electrician.
• Do not use an extension cord in conjunction with the NBC.
• Do not use liquids in or around the NBC environment.
• Inadequate repair can create significant hazards to users and is not covered by
warranty.
• For your safety, it is recommended that a qualified electrician test the circuit you
will be plugging the NBC into. The circuit should be checked for ground integrity
and appropriate branch circuit protection.
• The NBC ground prong must be present for safe operation. If the plug is damaged
or if the ground prong has been removed, it should be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
• The use of the NBC including plugging or unplugging netbooks, plugging or
unplugging the NBC, operating the control switch, and engaging or releasing the
directional and locked casters must be done with adult supervision.
3.1 Other Precautions
• The NBC can be very heavy when fully loaded with netbooks and should be moved
about by persons physically able to do so.
• The NBC should only be used for the storage, transport, and charging of netbooks,
tablet PCs, ultra mobile PCs, and other similar devices.
• Misuse, incorrect operation, or inadequate repair of the NBC will void the warranty.

Handle
4.0 Configuration and Setup
Remove and discard all packaging materials and then lock the lockable casters.
Open and inspect the NBC to verify all doors, locks, and casters are working properly.
Do not plug the NBC into an outlet until all configurations and setup are complete.
4.1 Installing the Handle
It is possible to install the handle/cord wrap on either side of the NBC. Black Box
recommends that you mount the handle on the side of the cart with the locking
swivel casters.
NOTE: The casters swivel on one side of the NBC and are fixed on the other. Consider
maneuverability options before installing the handle.
Step 1. Locate the side of the cart with the locking swivel casters.
