READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS prior to using the LTC.

• Power switch must be in the “OFF” position before plugging the LTC into a wall receptacle.

• e LTC must ONLY be connected to a 120 volt a.c. 15 or 20 amp power supply.

• e LTC must always be used by adults or with adult supervision.

• Always store power cord around cord wraps when transporting the LTC.

• Never pull the LTC by the power cord.

• Do not plug the LTC in if the switch, receptacle(s), or power cord has been damaged. All electrical components on this product must be repaired by a qualied electrician.

• Do not use an extension cord in conjunction with the LTC.

• NO LIQUIDS in or around the LTC environment.

• Inadequate repair can create signicant hazards to users and is not covered by warranty.

• For your safety, it is recommended that a qualied electrician test the circuit you will be plugging the LTC into. e circuit should be checked for ground integrity and appropriate branch circuit protection.

• e LTC 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 qualied electrician.

• e use of the LTC including: plugging or unplugging laptops, plugging or unplugging the LTC, operating the control switch, engaging or releasing the directional and total lock casters must be done with adult

supervision.

• e LTC can be very heavy when fully loaded with laptops and should be moved about by persons physically able to do so.

• e LTC should only be used for the storage, transport, and charging of laptops, tablet PCs, ultra mobile PCs, and other similar devices.

• Misuse, incorrect operation, or inadequate repair of the LTC will void the warranty.

Tech Coordinator LTC Conguration and Setup

• Remove and discard all packaging materials and then lock casters.

• Open and inspect LTC to verify all doors, locks, and casters are working properly.

• Do not plug LTC into wall outlet until all congurations and setup are complete.

• Installation of the handle/cord wrap can be on either side of the LTC. e side with the locking swivel casters is recommended. (Note: casters are swivel on one side of the LTC and xed on the other. Consider maneuverability options before installing the handle.)

• See enclosed handle instruction page.

• Remove a divider to install laptop power brick to the divider (see divider wiring instruction page). Be sure to place brick on the same side of every divider.

• Beginning with the top row, insert a divider into the cart (see enclosed divider installation instruction page).

• From the back of the cart, insert the power brick plugs hanging from the dividers on the left side of the cart into the power receptacles located on the bottom left of the cart. Repeat with the power brick plugs on the right side of the cart into the power receptacles located on the bottom right of the cart.

• Plug the power cord from the bottom left receptacles into the one of the timer’s receptacles and the power cord from the bottom right receptacles into the timer’s other receptacle.

• Feed the cord from the timer through the grommet hole on the side nearest the handle and wrap the cord around the handle itself or around the cord wrap below the handle.

• Set up the timer to provide overload protection. Charging 32 laptop computers at one time combined with the power demands of existing laptop battery technology can overload a typical 15 amp circuit. e LTC is equipped with a built-in timing device that automatically switches between charging half the laptops with the other half(see enclosed timer instructions).

• Close and lock rear panel. Timer settings and electrical components are now locked and secure.
