Powering Your NEC Versa
Using the Hardware
Like any computer, the NEC Versa 4000 is made up of
hardware (the physical unit and its components) and software (the programs that run on the computer). This chapter
discusses the hardware.
■ Powering on the system
■ Keyboard features
■ NEC VersaGlide
■ Options and PC card expansion
The NEC Versa 4000 can be powered from a variety of different sources, making it a truly portable system. Operate
your NEC Versa 4000 just about anywhere using one of the
following power sources:
■ the AC adapter connected to an electrical wall outlet
(using AC power)
AC Adapter
■ the battery pack or an optional second battery pack
■ the optional DC adapter connected to a car cigarette
lighter.
Use the AC adapter that came with your NEC Versa to run
your computer on alternating current (AC) power, or to recharge the battery pack. Use the AC adapter whenever a
wall outlet is nearby.
Using the Hardware 2-1
Keep the adapter connected whenever possible. The AC
adapter charges the battery whether or not you are using the
NEC Versa.
NOTE
Check that the AC outlet voltage falls in the
range of 100–240 Volts AC. Verify that the cord and
plug are appropriate for your AC source.
Connect the AC adapter as follows:
1. Connect the AC adapter cable to the power port on the
back of the NEC Versa 4000.
2. Plug one end of the AC power cable into the AC adapter
and the other end into a properly grounded 120- or 240volt wall outlet.
2-2 Using the Hardware
Power Port
AC Adapter
Connecting the AC adapter
Bridge Battery
Battery Pack
Your notebook computer comes with an internal bridge
battery. The bridge battery saves your system status in
Suspend mode for up to five minutes. This gives you time to
install a fully charged battery or plug in AC power when
your battery charge becomes low.
Only an authorized NEC dealer can change a bridge
battery.
The NEC Versa 4000 comes with a rechargeable Lithium
Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. With it, you can run your system
on battery power for up to five hours with Power Management or 2.5 hours without Power Management. It's easy to
install and remove.
You can keep track of the battery's status through the status
LCDs on the front of the system or the battery gauge in the
power panel. Both let you know how much battery power
remains.
NOTE
When installing a new battery, the first and
third bars on the battery gauge may flash. This indi cates an unknown battery status. To correct the
reading, recharge your battery for 8 hours. If the
battery still shows an unknown status, contact
dealer from whom you purchased the battery for a
replacement.
When battery power is very low, the battery outline on the
battery status LCD blinks. If the system speaker is enabled,
3 low battery warning beeps are emitted.
Using the Hardware 2-3
When battery power gets low, do either of the following:
■ Put your system in Suspend mode, remove the battery
pack, and replace it with a fully charged Li-Ion battery.
■ Leave the battery pack in the system and connect your
NEC Versa to the AC adapter and a wall outlet. If you
connect the system to AC power and continue to use it,
the battery recharges in 2.5 to 7 hours. If you connect
the system to AC power and do not use it, the battery recharges in about 2.5 hours.
You can also buy an optional battery charger to quickly
charge your battery. See the online Options Catalog.
