Charging carts & stations
Charging cart or station has no power · A tablet or laptop is not charging · One port is not charging or an LED stays off
Charging cart or station has no power
Please check these points in order:
- Socket: Does the socket work with another device? Switch on power strips that have their own switch.
- Power cable: Push it in firmly at both ends, at the wall and at the cart.
- Switch and timers: If your model has a main switch, is it on? Is the cart connected to a timer or to a socket that is switched off at night?
- Fuse: Has a fuse or the residual current device (RCD) tripped in the room? This can happen when several carts share one circuit.
- Restart: Unplug, wait 60 seconds, plug back in.
If the cart still has no power, please do not open the housing. Create a ticket with the serial number (inside), and we will help you quickly.
A tablet or laptop is not charging
- Check the cable: Is it pushed in firmly at the device and at the port? Thick cases can push the plug out a little.
- Try another port: Move the device to another slot. If it charges there, the port or the cable is the cause.
- Swap the cable: Try another cable that works. Cables are the part that wears out most often.
- Completely empty batteries: Deeply discharged devices often only show that they are charging after 15 to 30 minutes.
- Restart the device: A restart fixes some charging-indicator errors.
- The device's charging socket: Carefully remove lint or dirt, never with metal.
The device does not charge at any port, but does charge with another charger? Then please create a ticket with the serial number.
One port is not charging or an LED stays off
- Test this port with another cable and another device. This shows whether the port, the cable or the device is the cause.
- If the LED stays off although a device is connected: unplug the cable briefly and plug it in again.
- Disconnect the cart from the power once, wait 60 seconds and reconnect it.
- Note the port number and what the LED does (off, colour, blinking).
If the port still does not work, please create a ticket with the serial number and the port number. A photo of the LED panel helps us a lot.
Devices charge slowly or are not full in the morning
- Many devices at once: The charging electronics share the power between all devices. During the day charging takes longer; overnight there is normally enough time.
- USB or USB-C PD: Models with USB-C PD charge faster than models with USB-A. Your version is shown on the product page and in the data sheet.
- Cables: Use cables that support fast charging. Damaged or very long cables charge more slowly.
- Devices in use: Updates or running apps slow down charging. Charge them in sleep mode.
- Heat: Tablets charge more slowly when they are warm. Keep the ventilation openings free.
- Power at night: Check whether the socket is switched off at night (timer, building control).
Lost key, forgotten code or a stuck lock
- Please do not force it open. This damages the door and the lock.
- Spare key: Create a ticket with the serial number and, if available, the key number (on the key or the lock). Please attach the proof of purchase.
- Forgotten code: Tell us the model and serial number. For security reasons we arrange the reset with you personally.
- Stuck lock: Push the door gently closed while turning the key. Often the bolt is just jammed.
The fan is loud or the cart gets warm
- Normal: The fans run while charging to remove the heat. It is normal for the cart to feel warm.
- Keep the ventilation openings free: Leave some space to the wall and do not place anything in front of the openings.
- Location: Do not place it next to radiators or in direct sunlight.
- Dust: Carefully vacuum the ventilation grilles from the outside.
- Unusual noises (grinding, clicking) or a fan that no longer runs: please create a ticket with the serial number and a short video.
If the cart gets very hot or smells burnt, please follow the safety advice at the top.
