Please read this manual carefully. If this desk changes hands, please
provide this manual to the new owner.
Make sure the desk top is not touching any obstacles or walls.
Make sure no obstacles are in the desk’s path. Make sure all cords
are an appropriate length to accommodate the full range of height
adjustment.
Keep children away from desk components. There is risk of injury
and electric shock.
Do not sit or stand on the desk frame. Do not crawl or lie under the
desk frame.
Do not open or modify any of the components, including the Lifting
Columns, Control Box, or handset. Doing so risks electric shock and
voids any warranty claims.
Placing objects taller than 20” underneath the desk will obstruct the
desk’s movement and may result in physical damage.
Using a voltage converter could cause damage to the desk, and is
considered improper use. Resulting damage is not covered by the
warranty.
Verify the voltage of the Control Box as labeled to avoid damage.
Alternative voltage Control Boxes are available from Fully.
This Jarvis height adjustable desk has electric motors and is de-
signed for use in dry work environments only.
This Jarvis desk is adjustable so it can be positioned at an optimal
ergonomic height. Any extracurricular use is at user’s own risk.
Under no circumstances does the manufacturer accept warranty
claims or liability claims for damages caused by improper use or
handling of the desk frame.

Use & liability
On a padded or carpeted area, take all of the items out of your
Jarvis frame box, and confirm that nothing is missing.
Reference the included parts listings on page 3 or 4.
Wood Screws: Pointy End
Machine Screws: Flat End
In order to accommodate a broad range of desk top sizes, we offer
the Jarvis frame in a Narrow Version (for Jarvis desk tops 30” - 42”)
and a Wide Version (for Jarvis desk tops 48” -78”).
There are a few small differences in the way the two are
assembled, so we’ve made things as clear as possible by splitting
steps into two blocks labeled “Narrow” and “Wide.”
If you are using your own desk top, refer to page 21 for instructions
before beginning assembly.

If your desk top’s pre-drilled holes have metal inserts, you will need to use the Ma-
chine Screws packaged with the Jarvis desk top to secure the frame; otherwise use
four (4) of the Wood Screws to attach the leg assembly to the desk top.
Lay your desk top on a padded workspace with the underside facing up, and the front of the desk top
towards you.
Place the Left Leg Assembly on the desk top to your right, with the Frame End pointing towards the
center of the top. (Once you flip your desk over, this will become the left side, and the world will
make sense again.)
Insert all four screws part way. Once they are in place, tighten them all completely.

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to decide which side you want your handset on.
If you have a Jarvis desk top, there will be pre-drilled holes for attaching your handset along the front
of the desk top, on both the left and right sides. Keep in mind that when you turn your desk over, the
sides of your desk will be reversed.

If you have a 30” or 36” Desk Top, position the
Control Box over the pre-drilled holes in front of
the Center Rails, and secure it using two Wood
Screws.
Cable management: Cable Clips work best adhered directly to the Jarvis metal
frame. Plus, it just looks cleaner. Route your power cord towards the side of your
nearest wall outlet, or, better yet, use a cable management tray for optimal cable
taming goodness.
Pro Tip:
If you have a 42” Desk Top, position the Con-
trol Box over the pre-drilled holes in between
the Center Rails, and secure it using two Wood
Screws.

With one friend (or more), lift the desk, and gently flip it onto its feet being careful not to put weight
on the handset, supporting both the top and the frame.
Adjust the pre-installed leveling glides on the feet as needed.
Plug in the desk.
Before you start using your desk normally, you’ll need to get all the parts synced. Don’t worry, it’s
easy.
With Standard Up-Down Handset
1. Press and hold the DOWN button for about 10 seconds. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again, this time until the desk first lowers slightly, then rises
slightly, and finally stops. Release the DOWN button.
3. You can now use your desk!
With Memory Preset Handset
1. Press and hold the DOWN button until the display reads RST. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again, this time until the desk first lowers slightly, then rises
slightly, and finally stops. Release the DOWN button.
3. You can now use your desk! See page 19 for tips on making the most of your Memory Preset
Handset.
Setting memory presets
1. Adjust the desk to the desired height.
2. Press M (the display will show S -).
3. Press a number 1 - 4.
4. Pressing that number will return your desk to the programmed height. By default, the desk will
continue to move on its own once you’ve activated the preset, though pressing any other button
will stop this movement. If you prefer to change this behavior, please refer to “Toggle between
One Touch and Constant Touch Presets” on page 21.
Custom settings for Memory Preset Handset
Lock your desk
If you have a Memory Preset handset, your desk can be locked in place at any height, either as a
safety precaution, or just to keep your friends from messing with your settings. It unlocks just as eas-
ily, but we recommend guarding that secret.
To lock: Press and hold the M button for about 8 seconds. The display will first change to S -, then to
LOC, indicating that the desk is now locked.
To unlock: Press and hold the M button for about 8 seconds until LOC goes away and the height
appears on the display.
Adjust the height readout
Our LED handsets display the approximate height of your desk top surface, in inches or centimeters.
The accuracy may be affected by the thickness of your top, the evenness of your floor, etc. If you
want it to be completely accurate, you can manually set the readout to match your measured height.
1. Press and hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest position. Release.
2. With your favorite measuring tool, measure the distance from the floor to your desk top surface.
If it matches your readout, you’re all set. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
3. Press and hold the DOWN button again, until the display flashes RST (looks like “ASΓ”). Release.
4. Press and hold the M button until it begins to flash the starting height. Note: the display will
revert to RST after about 5 seconds. If that happens before you have a chance to make your
changes, just press and hold M again.
To change the readout height:
5. Use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the display by 0.1 inch at a time until the display shows
the correct height, as measured.
6. Wait about 5 seconds and the display will automatically return to RST, which indicates Reset
Mode.
7. Complete the reset process by pressing and holding the DOWN button again while the desk
lowers a little bit more, slightly rises, and then stops.
8. Release the button, and you should see the new starting height ±0.1 inches. This height is saved,
and your desk is ready to use!
Set custom upper and lower height limits
By default, the Jarvis frame and handset are set to allow the maximum range of motion, from a fully
retracted Lifting Column, to a fully extended one. If you would like to set a higher minimum height, or
a lower maximum height, you can do that! Before starting, make sure the desk is plugged in, and the
LED display is showing a number. If the readout has gone dark, you can wake it up by pushing any
button. If it is displaying something besides a number, perform the Reset Procedure on page 22.
To set the upper limit:
1. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to move the desk to the desired maximum height.
2. Press the M button and release, then press the UP button and release. The display will flash
S - to show that it is ready to set the upper limit.
3. Press and hold the M button for about 2 seconds. The display will show “999” and then return
to the height readout. This indicates that the upper limit is set. All done!
To set the lower limit
1. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to move the desk to the desired minimum height.
2. Press the M button and release, then press the DOWN button and release. The display will
flash S - to show that it is ready to set the lower limit.
3. Press and hold the M button for about 2 seconds. The display will show “000” and then return
to your selected height. This indicates that the lower limit is set. You did it!
Warning: There are certain times when your desk might require a Reset Procedure to correct a bal-
ance, calibration or other issue. This procedure requires the legs to retract completely, beyond any
lower height limits that might be set. Please ensure that you have the proper clearance below the
desk base.
Note: If you had previously set any memory presets that were outside of your newly defined range,
they won’t work anymore. You can reuse the numbers.
2nd Note: If you want to set a new upper or lower limit that is outside of your set range, you will first
have to restore the defaults.
To restore default upper and lower limits
1. Press the M button and release. “S -” will appear on the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the M button again and hold for about 2 seconds until the display
shows “555”.
3. Release the button. The display will automatically change back to the height display, and your
height limits are no more.
Toggle between One Touch and Constant Touch presets
Our programmable handsets allow your desk to remember your favorite height settings. By default,
if you press and release a memory preset button, the desk will move on its own to the programmed
height. You can change this behavior so that the desk will only continue to move to the programmed
height with continued pressure on that preset number. Here’s how to toggle this setting:
1. Press and hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest position. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again, until the display begins to flash RST (looks like “ASΓ”).
3. With the display still flashing RST, press and hold the 1 button for about 5 seconds. The handset
will register the change in input method and display the corresponding readout:
4. To toggle to the next setting, press and hold the 1 button again for 5 seconds, until the displayed
readout updates.
5. Once your preferred setting displays, release the button and wait about 5 seconds for the dis-
play to return to RST.
6. Complete the reset process by pressing and holding the DOWN button again while the desk
lowers a little bit more, slightly rises, and then stops. Release the button. Your new preset touch
setting is saved, and the desk is ready to use!
Change readout between inches and centimeters
By default, our programmable handsets display inches on models configured for 120-Volt power, and
centimeters on models for 240-Volt power. If you’d like to break with tradition, you can easily change
this setting.
1. Press and hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest position. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again, until the display begins to flash RST (looks like “ASΓ”).
3. Press and hold the 2 button for about 5 seconds. Your handset will register the unit change and
display the corresponding readout:
10.3 = Centimeters
10.4 = Inches
4. To toggle to the next setting, press and hold the 2 button again for 5 seconds, until the displayed
readout updates.
5. Once your preferred setting displays, release the button and wait about 5 seconds for the dis-
play to return to RST.
6. Complete the reset process by pressing and holding the DOWN button again while the desk
lowers a little bit more, slightly rises, and then stops. Release the button. Your preferred unit
setting is now saved, and the desk is ready to use!
10.1 = One Touch
The desk will keep moving to the preset
height after you release the memory
preset button
10.2 = Constant Touch
The desk will only continue to the pro-
grammed height while you are holding
the corresponding preset button
A note regarding the anti-collision feature
The Jarvis desk is programmed with an automatic collision detection system: If your desk is in mo-
tion, and it detects that it has run into a stationary object, it will automatically stop moving, pause
briefly, and then move about one inch in the opposite direction before halting completely. We hope
that this will prevent any of your valuable belongings from getting damaged by accident! It takes
about 15 pounds (around 7 kg) of pressure to activate this feature. If you have any concerns or would
like to inquire about modifying this preset, please give us a call at 888-508-3725.
Troubleshooting
If your desk is not functioning properly, or if you have a Memory Preset Handset that reads “RST” or
any error message (E01 - E13), confirm that all wired connections are secure (legs to cables, cables
to Control Box). Once you’re certain that all connections are secure, perform the reset procedure on
page 21. If the error message persists after the reset procedure, contact Fully.
If there is a difference in height between the two legs that exceeds 1.5”, stop the reset procedure and
contact Fully. If the Memory Preset Handset displays “HOT”, let the desk cool down for 20 minutes.
Reset procedure
CAUTION: this will override any custom lower limit you might have set! Please ensure proper clear-
ance for the Lifting Columns to retract fully.
With Standard Up-Down Handset:
1. Press and hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest position. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again, for about 10 seconds. Release.
3. Press and hold the DOWN button again, this time until the desk first lowers slightly, then rises
slightly, and finally stops. Release the DOWN button.
4. You’re all set!

2. Press and hold the DOWN button until the display reads RST. Release.
3. Press and hold the DOWN button again, this time until the desk first lowers slightly, then rises
slightly, and finally stops. Release the DOWN button.
4. You can now use your desk!
Using your own desk top
There’s no one right way to position your frame on your desk top but there are a few things you’ll
want to keep in mind. Generally speaking, the desk top should be centered over the frame side-to-
side, and positioned slightly forward of center (towards the user) front-to-back.
Side-to-side position:
In our experience, desks have better lateral stability the further apart the legs are. We position the
screw holes for the Side Brackets 2 inches in from the sides of the desk top. This leaves about 1” of
desk top overhang and maximizes lateral stability.
Placing the holes at least 2 inches in from the sides lowers the chance that your desk top will split
during drilling.
Depending on the rigidity and strength of your desk top material you can leave more of it overhang-
ing the Side Brackets. For example, on our 78” tops the Side Bracket holes are 5” in from the edge
with 4” of overhang.
Front-to-back position:
The Jarvis foot is 26.5” long. In order to prevent the foot from extending beyond the front of the desk
top, we do not recommend using a top that is less than 27” deep. The front-most screw hole of the
Side Bracket should be at least 6.75” from the front of the desk to keep Jarvis’s toes from extending
beyond the top.
Laying it out:
The easiest way to position your own desk top on Jarvis is to partially assemble the frame and use it
as a guide. This frame assembly is easier to maneuver than the entire frame and will allow you to see
exactly how things line up and where all of the holes should be.
1. Lay your desk top on a padded workspace with the underside facing up, and the front of the
desk top towards you.
2. Without the Lifting Columns, attach the Side Brackets to the Frame Ends as shown in steps 2
and 3, on page 7 for Narrow frames and page 8 for Wide frames.
3. Slide the Center Rails into the Frame Ends.
The Jarvis Narrow frame has a minimum width
of 27.5”. We recommend leaving an inch of desk
top overhang on each side, for a minimum rec-
ommended top width of 29.5”. The maximum
frame width is 40.5” and we don’t recommend
using a top wider than 47”.
The Jarvis Wide frame has a minimum width of
42.25”. We recommend leaving an inch of desk
top overhang on each side, for a minimum rec-
ommended top width of 44.25”. The maximum
frame width is 74” and we don’t recommend
using a top wider than 82”.
4. Position the frame assembly on the underside of your desk top, with the screw holes in the Side
Brackets 2” or more from the side edges of the top, and the front-most hole 6.75” or more from
the front (you-facing) edge of the top.
5. The example below shows a 28” x 56” desk top with the frame assembly correctly positioned.
We now know where all the screws need to be placed.
6. Indent the center point of each hole with the tip of a phillips head screwdriver — this is more
accurate and permanent than using a marker or pencil.
7. Disassemble the frame components and return to the standard assembly instructions on page 3.
