LED Charging Port Indicator Lights
Normal Operation
-
Plug the power cable into a standard 15A outlet. Be sure that the power switch on the side of the cart is in the ON position. LEDs will illuminate white to indicate the cart is connected to a power source.
-
Power off devices fully before connecting them to the cart for charging.
-
Connect the devices to the USB-C charging cables. Ensure that devices are placed in the cart so that the charging ports are as close as possible to the USB-C charging port on the cart. Incorrectly connecting devices can strain the cable over long periods and lead to damage.
-
You may hear a click. The LED lights will change colour according to the power draw of the attached devices. Refer to the device for the level of charge.
-
When devices are not connected, make sure the cables are inside of the lip on the front of the shelf to prevent them from being caught in the door.
-
To remove devices from the carts with the greatest level of charge, disconnect devices with the green LEDs first before you disconnect devices with the blue LEDs.
-
Devices that do not feature a USB-C charging port can be charged using USB-C emulator cables. (Not Included, contact JAR Systems for more info)
USB-C Emulator Cables
Trouble-Shooting
Always start troubleshooting with a simple reboot
Unplug and replug the power cord. When the cart is connected to power, the
LEDs will change color based on the power draw of connected devices (see light
indication).
Single Port or Device Issue
- Ensure that both of the cable ends plug into the cart and the device correctly.
- If there is still no charge, disconnect the device from that port (A) and plug into another port (B). If it is still not charging, it may be an issue with the device.
- If charging begins when using port (B), exchange the cable from port (B) to port (A). If it begins to charge, the cable (A) is defective and will need to be replaced.
Entire Charging Hub/Shelf Issue
- Check the back of the charging hub to see if the cart’s power cable is plugged in and connected correctly.
- The easiest way to access the AC power cable is to remove the (right) back panel of the cart.
- When the cart is powered back on, the LED lights will begin to illuminate.
Remove/Replace USB-C Cables
- Each shelf may be secured with up to three screws. Remove all screws.
- Open the tray lid. Unplug the cables from the USB-C ports and route them through the cable track.
- Reverse the process to replace a cable.
Adjusting Device Bay Dividers
Elevate carts feature adjustable device bays with multiple configuration options. Use the guides below to determine which hole pattern to use.
To remove dividers, pull the taller, back part of the divider toward you and lift it upward out of the slot. Then, guide the front part of the divider out of the tray. To install the dividers, place the shorter side of the divider into the front slot first, then pull the taller, back part toward you and downward into the rear slot.
