Power Management, the power cord is factory attached. For
desks without Power Management, plug power cord into the
control box prior to connecting to wall outlet.
B. Press and hold the ( ) button until the lifting columns have
completely retracted and continue to hold for 5 seconds after all
movement stops.
C. Once the columns are completely retracted, they will
automatically run approximately 5 mm out again and then slowly
run in again. Do not release the ( ) button until 5 seconds
after all movement has completely stopped.
Note: It is sometimes necessary to press the ( ) button
twice to start initialization. There may be a short delay before
movement begins.
Note: If the ( ) button is released before the sequence is
complete then initialization is interrupted and the process must
be started again from the beginning.

• Group the cables between your PC and desktop into a bundle
(monitor/speakers)
• Cover bundles with NextFlex expandable cable cover
• Attach the self-adhesive zip ties underneath NextDesk and secure
cables and bundles
• Consider the optional NextDesk Vanity Cover/Cable Raceway for
even easier cable management (available in matching aluminum)

Anti-Collision™ Feature
Method of operation
The control box monitors the electric consumption on each lifting column. If the
electric consumption on one channel is increased more than a predefined slope,
a collision is assumed. All channels are stopped immediately and all desk legs
will start to run in the opposite direction (approximately 50 mm). The anti-collision
sensitivity is different in upward and downward direction. Upwards the force is
approximately 20 kg. Downwards the load will be approximately 40 kg + the load on
the desk lifting column (the desk + what is on top of the desk).
Situations where the anti-collision does not work
• If the collision happens during the initialization phase.
• If the collision happens within the first 1000 milliseconds or after the control
button has been released.
• If the collision happens between the floor and the table, and the load on the
desk, plus the weight of the legs are lower than 40 kg.
• If the collision happens over too long of a time, e.g. if the collision is with
a soft object.
