User Guide

Power System Overview

Initial System Start Up and Shut Down

Before the T5 can be used for the first time, the battery
must be fully charged. Locate the cart’s power cord
and plug it into a hospital grade wall receptacle. Upon
doing so, the cart will awaken and go into a charging
mode. When charging is complete, the cart will emit
one long beep, and two orange and two green BLI lights
will illuminate and remain lit. Once the power cord is
unplugged, the cart will go into discharge mode. The cart
is now ready to use.

Proper Power System Recharging

To prolong the T5’s power system, always fully charge
the battery. This will condition the battery for optimal
performance. To recharge the T5, simply plug the power
cord into a hospital grade receptacle. The cart has started
its charging cycle once the BLI lights blink sequentially
from left to right. When the cart is finished charging, it
will emit one long beep and two orange and two green
lights will illuminate and remain lit. The BLI lights will
remain lit until the cart is unplugged.

Tips to Optimize Your Battery

Do not let the battery drain to a fully dis-•
charged state. If possible, plug the T5 in
frequently to keep the charge as strong as
possible while preventing a fully discharged
state.

Alwa• ys fully charge the battery. Do not stop
charging until the battery has reached a full
charge.

Do n• ot store the battery in a discharged
state. If possible, keep the T5 plugged in
when not in use, or continue to cycle the
battery as though it were being used.

Battery Level Indicator (BLI)

The Battery Level Indicator (BLI) indicates the status of the T5’s power system. Several modes are

displayed through the BLI:

S• leep Mode: All of the T5’s BLI lights will be off.

Char• ging Mode: The BLI lights will sequentially illuminate from left to right.

C h• arging Finished Mode: When charging is complete, the cart will emit one long beep, and two

orange and two green BLI lights will illuminate and remain lit. The BLI lights will remain lit until the cart
is unplugged.

Batt• ery Fault Mode: All five of the BLI lights will flash in this mode. Please contact Humanscale at

1-800-400-0625 for servicing information.

Disch• arge Mode: When the battery is discharging, the BLI will display how much battery life is

left. At full battery capacity, the LED farthest right will stay illuminated. As the T5’s battery charge
decreases, the BLI lights will illuminate one by one, from right to left, progressing all the way
to the red light. Once the cart reaches a low battery level, the red light will be illuminated and three
short beeps will be heard every 30 seconds. When the cart reaches a dangerously low battery level,
the red light will flash and one long beep will emit every five seconds. A constant beep will indicate
the last minute of operation.

Sleep Mode

If the T5 will not be used for several days or more, it should
be put into sleep mode. To do so, be sure the cart’s power
cord is unplugged and locate the blue sleep mode button
on the rear outlet mount.

Depress the button for three to four seconds until the cart
beeps. When the sleep mode button is released, all of the
BLI lights will turn off. In this state, the T5’s power supply
is sleeping, meaning that it will not output any power to
the receptacles. The T5 cannot be charged in this mode.

To turn the T5 back on, press the sleep mode button to

“wake” the power system. The power system will return to

discharge mode.
