built-in HTML web server. Web pages are viewed via standard internet browsers on a PC, tablet or Smartphone
and the Cart is built to standalone so no software needs to be installed on the Cart's computer eliminating
"software clash" and possible security issues.

Safety Recommendations and 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 2 lbs
max, close drawers when moving and do not transport at more than a 5 degree slope.
WARNING
:
Your JACO Hot-Swap Battery System is designed to operate as a system. Use only
JACO Power Blade Battery Packs, part number 51-3829 with the Cart Controller and Power Blade
Charger Assemblies. Use of any non approved Battery Pack, Controller or Charger may result in
damage and un-safe conditions.
WARNING:It is unlikely that you will experience any electromagnetic interference when using
your Series 300 Cart Controller or Power Blade Charger 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 Blade Battery Pack 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 & State regulations when shipping lithium batteries.

Proper Operation, Care & Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the Power Blade Charger from the AC wall outlet.
JACO products are designed and manufactured to provide years of operation. Take care to use the product
as intended and keep clean for best overall performance.
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.
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.
It is recommended that the Power Blade Charger be located in a clean environment free of liquids, dirt and
dust and a max room temperature of 77 deg (25 C). The Power Blade Charger should be reviewed weekly
for proper care and cleaning. The bays should be used only for the charging of the JACO Power Blade
Battery Packs, any other use may cause damage and will void the warranty.
When cleaning the outside of the Cart Controller, Power Blade Battery Pack or
Power Blade Charger, a dry cloth will be effective for removing dust or light dirt.
If needed, a standard hospital grade germicidal wipe can be used. It is
recommended that the wipe contain no more than 10% bleach to prevent
possible damage to the powder coat metal surfaces.
Inspect the inside bays of the Cart Controller and Power Blade Charger as needed or weekly, remove the
Power Blade Battery Packs to inspect the connections. Remove material that may have accidently dropped
into the Power Blade Charger or Cart Controller.
There should be no reason to clean the inside bay area but if required, make sure the Power Blade Charger
unit is unplugged and a damp (not saturated), less than 10% bleach wipe is used, allow ample drying time.
If the inside connectors pins do become dirty, do not insert any
objects into the contacts. Use compressed air to blow out the build-
up ensuring proper contact and operation.
For more information concerning best cleaning practices, contact our support
team at www.jacoinc.com/support, email at [e-mail] or call 877-
803-0101.

Basic Mobile Cart Integration & Operation
Unpacking & Assembly:
Your JACO Mobile Cart may be delivered stacked with one container on top of another. Please use caution
when removing the top Cart for unpacking. This is a two person lift and the top Cart must be placed on the
ground before unpacking. Once unpacked, there will be minimal assembly required depending on the Mobile
Cart model and options you have ordered. Due to the shipping container, the LCD and Stand (for LCD Carts)
and the optional Scanner Mounts, are not able to be attached at our factory.
Changing the Height Position:
Your JACO Mobile Cart is height adjustable for proper ergonomics when used in a standing or sitting position.
To change the height simply squeeze the handle located at the right side of the cart (as shown below). While
holding the handle tight, the cart height can be changed by pushing downward or pulling upward with both
hands on the cart top surface. Release the lever when the cart is in the desired position.
Installing your computer or laptop:
To install your PC or Laptop, unlock both key-locks at the rear of the top assembly as shown in the photo
below. Both locks must be opened before the top work surface can be pulled forward and removed from
the Cart. Once the work surface is removed, the open bay area (shown 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. If using a laptop computer, simply open and allow the display to protrude
through the opening in the work surface.

9
Installing Stand and LCD Monitor:
To attach the monitor stand to the Cart you
will need a 3/8 nut driver to tighten the 4
nuts. Place the monitor stand so that the 4
threaded studs drop into the 4 holes on the
mounting plate that is attached to the rear
handle of the Cart. Use the nut driver to
install and tighten all 4 nuts. Make sure all 4
nuts are tight before moving on.
After the monitor stand is installed on the Cart, attach
the LCD to the stand. A Phillips Head or (if added security
is needed for the LCD) Torx Head driver is needed to
attached the LCD to the VESA 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.
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.

10
Installing Scanner Mounts:
If you have ordered a Scanner Holder option, you may
need to install this as well. Remove the top work
surface by unlocking the 2 key locks at the rear Top
Assembly and pulling the work surface forward. The
scanner mount will attach using 2 nuts as shown.
Use an 11/32 nut driver to tighten.
Installing Keyboard and Mouse onto the Cart:
When ordering your JACO Cart you have the option of including an
integrated mouse and keyboard. If you are adding your own mouse
and keyboard, they can be integrated as follows. It is most
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.
Optional JACO Patented Trac™ Wheel
Steering:
The optional Trac Wheel is designed to add true steering 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
option can be engaged by stepping down on the green post at the
bottom front of the Cart. This activates a traction wheel that will
give you control over the direction of the Cart. To disengage Trac,
step down on the black post.

11
Keyboard Light:
The front touch pad numbers are used if an optional locking
Drawer system is included but it also offers a Keyboard Light
Press the light bulb icon button located on the far right
and the keyboard light will turn on. Press again and the light
will go off. There is a time-out so after approximately 20 minutes,
the light will automatically turn off. The light can be turned back
on immediately if needed.
Touch Pad Access, Front of Mobile Cart
Optional Locking Drawer Operation:
The default combination for the optional Touch Pad e-locking Drawer system is 4, 1, 2, 3, then press the
Unlock Button. This combination can be changed as needed and offers up to 64 unique 4 digit access
codes. To change the pass code, press the numbers 3, 1, 2 then the unlock button, you will hear a "beep"
indicating that a new 4 digit code can be entered. If you enter an unacceptable code, such as 1, 1, 1, 1,
you will hear a "buzz" noise indicating the code is not changed. When entering an acceptable new code,
you will hear two short "beeps" indicating that the code is now changed.
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.
Rescue key access on back of drawer/cabinet assembly
NOTE: See page 6 of this manual for important safety information regarding the drawer option.

Power Blade Battery Pack & Cart Controller
To insert the Power Blade Battery Pack into the Cart Controller, simply hold by the integrated handle
and insert into the Cart Controller using the top and bottom guides for alignment. As you push the
Power Blade Battery Pack into position, you will hear a "click" as the connectors engage. To remove,
push down and hold the horizontal handle located at the rear of the Cart Controller, and pull the Power
Blade Battery Pack out.
Note that when two Power Blade Battery Packs are
installed in the Controller, you will notice that one
rear facing status LED will blink every 6 seconds. This
is normal and used as an indicator as to which Power
Blade Battery Pack is providing power. If two charged
Power Blade Battery Packs are installed, power will
switch instantly from one to the other when one
Power Blade Battery Pack is removed.
LED Charge Capacity Status:
The Power Blade Battery Pack ports on the Mobile Cart are labeled as Battery 1 and Battery 2. Each
port has two LED indicators that show approximately how much battery charge is remaining. The LED
indicators are located at the front and rear of the Cart. This simple LED readout reports approximate
battery charge as follows...
* 100% to 21% Charge on Battery Pack - Solid Green LED
* 20% to 11% Charge on Battery Pack - Solid Amber LED
* 10% to 1% Charge on Battery Pack - Blinking RED LED
* No Charge Remaining - Solid RED LED
NOTE: If both Power Blade Battery Packs show RED (fully drained), the Cart will "beep" as a warning.
This will continue for several minutes. Replace at least one with a charged Power Blade Battery Pack
within this warning period to prevent the on-board computer & monitor from shutting down.

Estimated run-time per Power Blade Battery Pack:
The JACO 300 Series Hot-Swap Power Blade Battery Packs are designed to be a safe and reliable solution
for health care applications. As with any battery system, the amount of time that the battery will power
the equipment is dependent on the device (PC, Laptop, LCD Monitor…) power demand. To help reduce
power demand and increase the Power Blade Battery Pack runtime, we suggest that you set the monitor
to enter sleep mode after 5 minutes of idle time.

Troubleshooting
1)
My Hot Swap Cart has no power, however Cart battery status LEDs in
both the front and back of the cart are working.
Check the inverter for the green light next to the AC outlet on the inverter.
Check all cable connections to and from the Inverter, ensure they are secure.
Remove the batteries from the Cart Carrier, replace with 2 fully charged batteries.
If there is power, the previous batteries need to be charged.
If there is still no power to the computer & LCD, contact JACO for replacement authorization or additional
troubleshooting direction.
2) The computer and LCD or laptop is integrated and working without
issue however the Mobile Cart battery status LEDs are not working in
both the front AND back of cart.
Remove and reinstall the same Power Blade Battery Packs that are currently in the Cart, if the LED's still do
not light, replace the batteries with 2 fully charged batteries.
If the status LED's, are still not showing, you will need to reset the controller unit.
To reset, insert a paper clip into the reset port at the
back of the Cart as shown. Once paper clip is inserted
and the internal button depressed, the unit will beep
signifying a system reset. Remove the paper clip and
watch for the status LED's to function.
If the status LEDs are still not functioning, contact JACO for
replacement authorization or additional troubleshooting direction.
3)
The Mobile Cart front battery status LEDs are not working however the
back status LEDs are working correctly.
Remove and reinstall the same Power Blade Battery Packs that are currently in the Cart, if the LED's still do
not light, replace the batteries with 2 fully charged batteries.
If the front LEDs are still not functioning, check that the input/output cable connection, as shown in Section
