Safety Recommendations & Warnings
WARNING: As with any mobile cart, caution must be taken
when pushing the cart through elevator doorways and over
thresholds. It is recommended that you lower the work surface to
waist high and position the cart so that only one-wheel contacts
the threshold at a time. This will help keep the momentum of the
cart moving forward and provide a safe transition.
WARNING: If your JACO Mobile Cart has a Drawer System option, limit weight per drawer to one-
pound, close drawers when moving and do not transport at more than a 5-degree slope.
WARNING:Your JACO Battery System is designed to operate as a system. Use only JACO Provided
components including replacement battery packs. Use of any non-approved Battery components may
result in damage and un-safe conditions.
WARNING: It is unlikely that you will experience any electromagnetic interference when using your
JACO Power System however if you notice any interruption or interference issues when using certain
computers or peripherals, notify your IT department before contacting JACO Service department.
WARNING: The JACO Power System contains lithium battery cells and as with all batteries, have
specific shipping restrictions that must be addressed. Please contact JACO Customer Service for
assistance before shipping any JACO product. It is the Shippers responsibility to follow all Federal &

Care, Maintenance & Warranty
All JACO products are designed and manufactured to provide many years of trouble free
operation. We recommend that you keep the product clean for optimal operation.
Most of the surfaces of your JACO product are finished using a
durable, antimicrobial powder coat finish. It is recommended that
the surface areas that are in contact with day to day use be cleaned
regularly. Always review the cleaning products that are being used
and verify that it is safe to use on the powder coat finish. In general,
a solution or wipe that is no more than 10% bleach, such as most
germicidal wipes used in hospitals, will be acceptable but it is recommended that you
consult with JACO Customer Service if you are not sure it is safe to use.
For the JACO Hot-Swap Battery Charger, there should be no reason to clean the inside
bay area but if required, make sure the unit is unplugged and a damp (not saturated),
less than 10% bleach wipe is used, allow ample drying time.
Your JACO Mobile Cart does not require any scheduled maintenance however it is good
practice to clean the casters and check that the Cart height adjustment is operating
correctly at least once a year. Please contact JACO Customer Service as needed for
more information in maintaining your JACO Mobile Carts.
At JACO, we stand by our products with a warranty plan that has you covered should
anything unexpected happen during the intended operation of the product. A copy of
this limited warranty is shipped with each product and explains the details of our
10/7/3 year limited warranty coverage.

Integration & Operation
Unpacking & Assembly:
Your JACO Mobile Cart is delivered on a pallet and unpacking is a two-person task, please plan
accordingly. Use caution when removing any additional containers that may have shipped on
top of the Mobile Cart pack. Once unpacked, there will be minimal assembly required
depending on the Mobile Cart model and options you have ordered.
Adjusting the JACO EVO Cart Height Position:
Your JACO Mobile Cart is height adjustable for proper ergonomics when used in a standing or
sitting position. To change the height, place the palms of your hands on the left and right sides
of the work surface and on the left side, squeeze the release lever by pulling it upward. This
will free the internal locking piston and will allow you to adjust the height of the Cart with
minimum effort. Release the lever when the cart is in the desired position.
Installing your computer system:
The JACO EVO Series Mobile Cart will support most PCs, Thine Clients, Laptops and All-In-One

8
computer systems and up to a 24” LCD/LED Monitor. Not all computer systems and LCD/LED
Monitors will fit, and some may fit but require too much power draw to operate with the
optional LiFePO4 Battery System. Contact your local Sales Representative or call JACO Support
to review any question you may have.
To install your PC or Laptop, unlock both key-locks at the rear of the top assembly as shown in
the photo below. Once unlocked, the top work surface can be pulled forward and removed
from the Cart.
Once the work surface is removed, the open bay area (shown on left below) is available for
installing your computer or laptop. Route all cables needed for proper operation before
installing the work surface and locking in place for security. Shown below is an example of a
small PC properly installed with all cables routed neatly and organized. If using a laptop
computer, simply open, place the laptop on the internal tray and allow the display to protrude
through the opening in the work surface.
Additional tips for proper computer installation:
SFF and Thin Client: insert inside the top bay so that the on/off power button is facing the side

9
opening. This will allow easy access for rebooting of the computer if needed.
Laptop: Open the laptop, place inside the top bay. Neatly rout the AC brick and cables into the
Top Bay with the power cord plugged into the internal power strip. Install the work surface so
that the laptop display protrudes through the opening, lock the work surface in place for
security.
All-In-One: The unit must have a 75mm or 100mm VESA pattern on the rear surface to mount
to the J1-20 Mobile Cart. The hardware to mount the All-In-One is provided.
It is highly recommended that you use the Velcro adhesive patches included with all Mobile
Carts inside the accessories kit to hold the PC, Thin Client, or Laptop in place inside the Mobile
Cart top assembly.
Installing LCD/LED Monitor:
Our PC/LCD Mobile Carts ship with the LCD Stand in place
but the optional LCD not attached. A Phillips Head or (if
added security is needed for the LCD) Torx Head driver is
needed to attach the LCD to the LCD Stand, 4 places. Both
Phillips and Torx screws are provided. It is recommended
that one person hold the LCD while a 2nd person inserts
the hardware.
Make sure all 4 screws are installed and tightened
properly. Check with JACO Support if the LCD/LED Monitor
is more than 8 lbs. for proper counter weight calculation.
With the monitor and stand installed on the Cart, the LCD
power and signal cables can be installed. Route both
cables down through the cable management area of the
stand as shown to the left. Pull the cables into the Top
Assembly and attach to the PC or laptop computer that
will be installed later.
Installing Keyboard & Mouse
When ordering your JACO Cart you have the option of including an integrated mouse and keyboard.

10
If you are adding your own mouse and keyboard, they can be integrated as follows. It is important
that the wires are routed out of the way of the sliding keyboard tray. With each JACO Mobile Cart
we include an accessory pack that provides ty-wraps and Velcro pads along with other helpful items
for proper cable management. Use the Velcro pads to fasten the keyboard to the keyboard tray
and use the ty-wraps to secure the cables. The Keyboard & Mouse cables need to rout through the
access hole under the front top section of the Cart. Make sure you leave enough slack in the wires
to allow the tray to pivot up and down as needed. The Mouse can be placed on the Mouse Tray by
lifting the support wire up and slipping the mouse under.
Keyboard Light
All JACO EVO Carts are equipped with a Keyboard Light feature. For non-powered models the
included USB cable must be connected to a USB port on the laptop or computer that is installed into
the Cart. The on/off switch for this keyboard light will vary depending on other options ordered
but, in all configurations, will be found on the front status assembly. This will be either a slide
switch on the bottom or a button on the front surface that shows a light bulb icon.
Options
We offer many options for the JACO EVO Cart Series. Please contact your local Sales Representative
if you have any questions on existing options or have equipment that you need integrated onto the

11
JACO One EVO Cart.
Scanner Mounts:
We offer mounting for most hand-held scanners, both tethered (wired) and wireless models.
Wire Basket Storage:
JACO offers several different size wire baskets for on-Cart storage. These options are available with
in two sizes, 6” x 6” x 6” and 4” x 8” x 12”.
Disinfecting Wipes Container Storage:
Disinfectant wipes are often used to keep hospital equipment clean (see page 6 of this manual for
proper cleaning details). We offer holders for the industry standard 5” diameter containers.
JACO Patented Trac™ Wheel Steering:
The optional Trac-Wheel is designed to add true motion control to the JACO Mobile Cart. With 4
swivel casters, keeping the Mobile Cart moving in one direction may be challenging as the
momentum of the Cart will want to continue in the direction of motion. The Trac-Wheel option will
give you control over the direction of the Cart. We ship the Trac-Wheel mounted at the bottom
center of the Cart with the wheel engaged. You may easily disengage the Trac-Wheel using a 5/16”
Allen wrench as shown below.
Storage Cabinets, Drawers and Medication Bins:
Storage systems for the JACO EVO Mobile Cart series include Non-Locking, Push Button-Locking and
Electronic-Locking drawers mounted on the left side of the Cart.

12
The cabinet option configurations are two 3” Drawers or three 3” Drawers. The drawers can be
standard (no bins) or include two bins or a single wide bin to keep small items organized.
The e-Locking, Dual Cabinet with Wide Single Bin Drawers and the Triple Cabinet with Dual Bin
Drawers are shown below.
The JACO EVO Storage System

13
Electronic Locking Drawers – The JACO EVO Cart e-Locking Drawer include SmartTouch which is a
smart interface that allows for Mobile Cart Fleet Management as well as a large graphic touch

14
interface that displays battery status, low battery warnings, keyboard light, WIFI indicator, access
touch pad for drawer access, service request for Cart or computer issues and receives alerts and
notifications from JACO Fleet Manager software.
If for some reason the electronic pass code system were to fail, there is a rescue key lock located at
the back of the drawer system as shown below. Insert, turn and hold key in the unlocked position
to allow the drawers to be opened when by-passing the electronic drawer lock system. The by-pass
key is not the same key used to access the Top Assembly. The rescue keys are included in the Cart
accessory kit which is placed inside the Mobile Cart Top Assembly housing.
Button-Lock Drawer – To open the Button-Lock Drawer, enter the default combination 1, 2, 3, 4
press OK, turn the knob to the right and hold the knob in this position while pulling the drawer

15
open. The Drawer will auto lock when closed.
To change the code first enter the default code above pressing the Enter button twice. Enter the
new code and then press Enter. There are no limits to how many or how few numbers a code must
be, but it is recommended that you use 3 or 4 digits for the code.
Once the code is changed, the default code will no longer work so it is recommended that you
control the new code numbers in a central database so that forgotten codes can be found. If you
change the code and forget the new combination, the only way to open the drawer is to contact
JACO Custom Service and present the individual serial number on the lock assembly so that we can
send an override code. The serial number is located on the front edge of the lock as shown below.

Carts and include two different power system options. The L250 is a one battery pack power
system and the L500 integrates two battery packs for extended run time. Both options are
Lithium Iron Phosphate, also known as LiFePO4 or LFP.
When ordered with the JACO One EVO Mobile Cart, the LiFePO4 Battery systems are
shipped fully integrated but will need to be calibrated for proper power level status
reporting, see the following pages for detailed instructions.
The JACO Power systems include two separate components, connected by a DC cable that
runs through the Cart Post. This cable connects the LiFePO4 battery packs, located in the
Cart Base, to the Inverter/Charger assembly which is located within the Cart Top Assembly.
Inverter/Charger assembly input & output connections are shown below. Make sure that
you only use JACO approved cables and connections with the JACO Battery System

The Cooling Fan (item #4 above) will power on whenever the unit is plugged in for recharge.
The fan will run from a continuous, slow idle speed, to full speed, in order to minimize fan
noise in response to rising internal temperatures. The fan will also power on whenever the
On/Off AC Outlet Switch (item #2 above) is in the ON position regardless of recharging
status.
Set-Up and Calibration
The JACO Battery System is shipped in “cut-off” mode to prevent power drain during
shipping. Follow the steps below to activate the power system and calibrate the status LED

readout properly.
1. Integrate your PC or Laptop – After your Mobile Cart is unpacked and ready to go,
you should take the time to properly install the computer system as shown on page 8
of this Users Guide. Route all cables neatly and use the ty-wraps and Velcro pads
provided in the Cart Accessory kit.
2. Turn on power to the AC Outlets – Push the AC Switch shown as item 2 on page 13,
to the ON position. This switch can be accessed by opening the left-side enclosure
door, a screwdriver will be needed. The power switch is located on the left side of
the inverter/charger assembly as shown below.
3. Wake-up the Battery System – Plug the recharge power cord that is hanging from
the back of the Mobile Cart into any standard 120VAC wall outlet to activate the
Battery Power System.
4. Unplug the power cord – This step is necessary as you need to let the battery system
drain completely so that the status LED readout will be properly calibrated. Power
up the computer and LCD or the laptop to help drain the battery system.
5. Allow time to Calibrate – The status gauge readout at the front top of the Mobile
Cart needs to learn or calibrate as the power system charges from fully drained to
fully charged. Once the batteries are fully drained, plug in the power system and
leave the Mobile Cart plugged into the wall outlet until all 5 status LEDs are showing
green indicating that the batteries are fully charged. This step could take up to 2.5
hours.

Agency Certification
The JACO Integrated LiFePO4 Battery Power System, Inverter/Charger Assembly has been
tested and approved to the following agency certifications - IEC 60601-1/A2: 1995 &
IEC60950-1:2005
Basic Troubleshooting
Power system is not providing power to the LCD and PC.

19
1 - Check to make sure that the PC and LCD are plugged into the AC power outlet on the
JACO Power Inverter. You may be using a short tri-plug cable that is provided. Also, make
sure that the Outlet Power Switch is in the ON position as shown below. This switch is
identified as item #2 on page 15, also shown below. To access this switch, open the left side
door of the Inverter/Charger Enclosure as shown below.
2 – If you still do not have power to your PC and LCD, disconnect the PC from the JACO
Power Inverter and plug directly into a known good AC wall outlet. This will help determine
if the issue is with the JACO Power Inverter or the PC power adaptor itself.
3 – If the PC powers up normally when plugged into a wall outlet, disconnect and plug back
into the JACO Power Inverter. If not, you may have an issue with the PC power adaptor.
Contact the PC manufacturer for a replacement.
4 – Plug the JACO Mobile Cart power cord into a known good AC wall outlet.
 Does the front status LEDs panel turn on?
 Does the JACO Power Inverter fan turn on?
 Does the PC and LCD power on?
If yes to all above, no need to continue. If the issue is not resolved, go to next step to reset
the JACO Power Inverter.
5 – JACO Power Inverter Reset steps.
 Unplug the JACO Cart power cord from the wall outlet.
 Using a Phillips head screwdriver, open the Right-Side Bay as shown below to access
