1. Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a storage and charging trolley from
the LapSafe® ClassBuddy™ range. Your trolley comes with a life time parts and
labour warranty which you will need to activate immediately (Section 8).
This manual has been designed to assist and guide you with the set-up and
correct use of your trolley.
2. Important actions

• Take a note and store in a safe place your trolley’s serial number which can
be found located on the back of the trolley. The silver plate will hold your
serial number that begins with CB (Figure 1). You will need to quote this
number for all enquiries relating to your trolley.
• Take a note of your key number located on the key itself and store this in a
safe and secure place. You will need this if you wish to order additional keys
(Figure 2).
• Visit support.lapsafe.com/warranty to activate your Lifetime warranty. Your
warranty will not be valid unless you do this.

from the wall socket placing the power lead in the cable tidy located on the
rear door of the trolley.
• Check that any network cable (Cat5) has been disconnected from the back of
the trolley.
• Ensure that all of the trolley doors are securely closed and locked, and that
all keys have been removed.
• Disengage wheel brakes using the foot operated pedals before moving the
trolley. (Figure 3)
• Special care should be taken on inclines.

4. Getting started
There are ventilation holes through the base and on all four sides of the cabinet,
and care must be taken that none of these holes are obstructed. Select a location
where there is suicient airspace for the cabinet to ventilate. Your ClassBuddy™
should not be le within a cupboard or small closed space when charging,
because the recirculation of its own warm air could lead to unnecessarily high
temperatures for periods of time.
With your ClassBuddy™ in its working position, the mains lead can be fitted into
the mains socket at the rear of the right side of the cabinet and taken to an
available wall socket to be plugged in and switched on.
The front doors of your ClassBuddy™ are unlocked using the key with the white
key cover, and the rear door has a separate key with a black key cover.
The front doors are for everyday working access to the cabinet. The key can be
removed once the door is open, this will prevent the door from closing fully whilst
it is unlocked.
The rear door should not be considered as day-to-day access to the cabinet,
once opened you will see a safety earth lead with a push-on fixing on the rear
door which must be disconnected before the door can be fully removed. Once
the connector has been pulled apart, the door can be lied out of the slots along
the bottom edge and placed to one side. (For your safety, please ensure that you
reconnect the earth lead when replacing the rear door). (Figure 4)

5. Charge only - set up
If you purchased a trolley that uses USB for charging and syncing then this section
is not relevant to you, procceed to Section 6
Please ensure the cabinet is unplugged when you are loading AC adaptors in the
ClassBuddy™
1. Remove the rear door as described in (Section 4).
2. You will find power strips for your AC adaptors in the back; plug your AC
adaptor into a plug socket and load the AC adaptor block onto the relevant
shelf.
3. Pass the device connector through the shelf and use the cable management
clips to hold the cable in place.

6. Charge and sync - set up
Loading your devices
The charging and synchronisation unit for your ClassBuddy™ is accessible
through the rear door of the cabinet (Figure 5).
A charging / synchronisation connection must be made between your
ClassBuddy™ (Figure 6) and each supported iPad/tablet.
It is important that a good quality lead is used to make the connection between
your devices and the charging/synchronisation unit, because poor quality leads
can create problems during the synchronisation process.
Plug each connecting lead into an available USB socket in the charge/sync unit
and route them through to the front of the appropriate shelf, where it will not be
in the way of loading the device, but it will be available to plug in once the device
is in position. There are a number of holes at the rear and sides of each shelf
where the cable ties or cable management clips supplied with the cabinet can be
used to retain the charge/sync lead in position, should you wish.

Full CE compliance, which includes the requirements of LVD and EMC directives,
is a STANDARD FEATURE of any solution manufactured by LapSafe®, as are many
more built in safety features. CE Marking can be found on the product serial

Conformity Certificate is issued with each product in the User Guide Pack.
Please be advised of the following safety advice:
At no time are the rear service door of the trolley to be opened by anyone other
than an authorised person.
At no time should anyone attempt to physically li the trolley, as this could cause
injury to the persons concerned and even damage to the trolley, which will
invaldate the manufacturer’s warranty. Should the movement of the trolley
require this type of action, you are advised to seek advice from the authorised
person. In such circumstances, the matter should be referred to LapSafe® for
consultation and advice.
• Always apply the wheel brakes when the trolley is either parked or not in use.
• Disconnect the mains supply and stow the mains cable into either the cable
• management provided or on top of the unit before moving
• Always ensure that the main power lead does not present a trip hazard when
connected to the mains.
• Always ensure that the main power lead is fully extended when connected to
the mains.

Recent guidance from the Health and Safety Executive regarding “Laptop computer charging trolleys safety
alert” requires interpretation from each manufacturer as regards to their product compliance. The HSE
statement can be found at: www.hse.gov.uk/services/education/safety121009.htm
CE Testing, Conformity and Declaration of LapSafe®
At LapSafe® we are proud to conrm that ALL of our electrical products, going back over ten years, have been thoroughly tested and
certied (by an authorised and INDEPENDENT testing house) and accordingly have been clearly CE marked.
Full CE compliance, which includes the requirements of LVD and EMC directives, is a STANDARD FEATURE of LapSafe®, as are many
more “built in” safety features. CE Marking can be found on the product serial number plate, usually at the lower rear of the cabinet.
CE Declaration of Conformity Certicate is issued with each product in the User Guide Pack.
You may obtain further copies of the certicate specic to your product and serial number, or any further information and advice,
upon request to our Customer support–
call direct 01787 226147 or FREEPHONE the switchboard on 0800 130
3456 or email [email protected].
Rest assured that your LapSafe® Product has been designed and built with Safety as the highest priority since we rst introduced
the concept of the “mobile laptop trolley” into the UK market in the last century. This is, indeed, why we are called “Lap SAFE”.
Residual Voltage
The HSE has raised a concern (having identied at least one particular manufacturer’s trolleys with this “characteristic”) that many
manufacturers’ trolleys (if indeed not the vast majority), may have a momentary residual voltage on the pins of the mains plug and
that this could, if you touched the pins within a second or two of unplugging, result in an electric shock.
LapSafe® have been designed from the outset with safety internal circuitry as standard so as NOT to retain or present any signicant
residual voltage in this way. In fact, it is virtually impossible to get any such signicant electric shock from our cabinets in normal
use.
However, regardless of how safe any particular trolley may be, we endorse the recommendations for employing common sense
practise as a generic rule for any mobile electrical appliance, such as switching o the mains socket before unplugging the power
leads and NOT moving the trolleys without disconnecting and unplugging the power leads at both ends. Two of the wheels are
tted with locks as standard and should be kept locked as a reminder when power is connected and as a general safety rule as per
the user instructions supplied with each cabinet.

0800 130 3456 or visit our website at lapsafe.
