How to Get Moving

The Mobile Office is designed to be easily installed and removed from vehicles by simply using. It may be installed in the front passenger seat, a back seat, and (in some vehicles) in the trunk.

Installation in Front Passenger Seat

Note: Please install Mobile Office in vehicle before attaching laptop.

Press button Ⓐ to retract handle. Lift by hand-holds Ⓑ and place in passenger seat with handle/wheel side against back of seat.
Buckle in the unit with the seatbelt, placing the lap belt through the provided channel Ⓒ and behind the chassis
When not in use, secure the arm using the bungee.
For additional security, loop the the Safety Straps ❸ behind the passenger seat, pull the free end through the cam buckle, and cinch tight.

Similar steps may be used to mount the mobile office in a rear passenger seat.

Removal From Vehicle

Unbuckle the Mobile Office and unhook the safety strap from behind the seat, placing excess strap in seat-belt slot.
Ensure the Laptop Arm is still secured.
While standing outside the passenger door, use the underside handles to carefully lift the Mobile Office out of the car and place the wheeled side on the ground.
Deploy the handle, and roll.

Trunk Installation/Removal

The Mobile Office can also be installed in the truck for use as a standing desk. Installation per vehicle make and model will vary, but generally:

Place the Mobile Office in the trunk of the vehicle with the handle side facing the front of the vehicle.
Secure the Mobile Office using the Safety straps around the front of a rear seat (if applicable).
Do not drive with the Mobile Office stored in the trunk unless it can be safely attached using the Safey Straps as it may shift while driving.

Laptop Arm/Tray ❻

The Laptop Tray is compatible with 10" to 16" Wide Laptops and 17" Wide Screens

Securing The Laptop to the Arm

Pull apart the spring loaded RAM tray .
Place laptop on tray and release to allow tabs to grip laptop
Plug the USB cable located along the arm into any USB plug on the laptop
Your laptop may change position - you will adjust the tension of the arm in the following steps

Positioning The Laptop Arm

The Laptop Arm consists of 4 rotation joints: 1 at the "shoulder", 1 at the "elbow", and 2 at the "wrist". Additionally, the height of the entire arm can be adjusted by telescoping the Post in or out of the Mobile Office.

Additionally, the Laptop Arm contains a feature to offset the weight of your laptop - to "float" your laptop at any height so it does not move up or down on its own.

Raising and Lowering the Post

To adjust Post height: turn the knob on the top of the Post counterclockwise until you can lift the Post up by the knob. Lift to desired height. Turn clockwise to secure the arm at the new height

Immobilizing the Arm

Your Laptop Arm and tray arrived in the Stowed Position. This is how you will place the arm for transport or storage

To return to Stowed Position: remove laptop from tray, return post to its lower position (See below), press arm back into Stowed Position. Next, wrap bungee cord over the top of both arm segments and use free end of bungee cord to hook to the arm post bolt (where the base end of your bungee is mounted)

For safety and convenience, the laptop arm MUST be immobilized during driving or when rolling the Mobile Office.

Laptop Arm Resistance Adjustments

Adjust Shoulder Joint Resistance

The "shoulder" joint is the how the arm attaches to the Post. This joint can spin freely around the post, and is adjusted by a small set screw on the top of the two flanges.

To adjust how much rotation resistance the Shoulder provides:

Use included 3mm Allen Key in Kit A (18), turn clockwise to increase friction, and turn counter-clockwise to reduce friction

Adjust Wrist Joint Resistance

The “wrist” joints of the laptop are the last pivots before the tray and determine the angle of the laptop tray.

To adjust how much resistance these provide:

Use included 5mm Allen Key in Kit A (H), turn clockwise to increase friction, and turn counter-clockwise to reduce friction

Adjust Elbow Joint Resistance

The elbow joint, as with the wrist joints, is

Adjust Laptop Arm to Laptop Weight

The elbow joint contains a spring that is designed to offset the weight of your laptop. To balance tension to “float” laptop, so that it does not move up or down on its own:

Remove cover from top of middle joint
Using included 5mm Allen Key in Kit A, turn clockwise for lighter laptops, counter-clockwise for heavier, until laptop does not move up or down on its own. This may be around 10 complete rotations
Replace cover on top of middle joint

Rolling The Mobile Office

The mobile office is equipped with a retractable handle and two wheels so it may be easily rolled, much like a modern suitcase.

Ensure the Laptop Arm is secured in the Stowed position before rolling the Mobile Office.

Retracting and deploying the rolling handle

Depress the button on the handle at the top of the mobile office and gently slide the handle up until it locks into place. To retract the handle, depress the button and slide the handle all the way down until it locks into place.

Lid

The Lid is only attached for shipping or air travel.
