anchored with the included zip ties as shown. Figure 4B. Pine-tree clips are also installed under the worksurface for securing charge
cords. Figure 4B & 4C.

CAUTION
The mLT-30 Mini Laptop Cart features two separate 16-outlet charging
circuits on separate cords. Some laptop notebook computers may draw
more than 1/2amp when fully discharged. If that is the case, plugging the
two power cords into separate 15-amp electrical outlets will prevent an
electrical overload which may trip a circuit breaker. Please consult the
owners manual of your specific laptop computer for further information.

The timer prevents overload by alternating power between both power strips in the cart, providing charging to multiple laptops during
the day. The power strips plug into the outlets labeled 'A' or 'B'.

switches to the other power strip. 15 minutes can be used as the default setting, but the time setting will depend on the laptop size,
battery capacity, frequency of laptop use, and the time available for charging between uses. Lower minute settings should be used if
the laptops are being used more frequently.
• To cycle charge both 'A' and 'B' sides, keep the cycle switch in the middle 'Cycle' position, then set the timer control to the
desired cycling increment. After the Side 'A' time expires, the timer will activate Side “B” for the same period of time and will
continue to cycle until the On/Off switch is set to the "OFF" position.
• To manually-override the timer function, and charge side 'A' only, switch the cycle switch from the middle to the 'A' position.
• To manually-override the timer function, and charge side 'B' only, switch the cycle switch from the middle to the 'B' position.
Specifications:
• 12-amp, 120 volt, 60Hz
• 15-240 minute timer
• 20' 14 AWG power cord
