Introduction
QUICK TOUR OF THE NOTEBOOK
Take a moment to become familiar with the locations and functions of all controls. It is rec-
ommended that you first go through the notebook's user guide for more information on
how to operate all of the features.
Main Components
This section describes the main features of the NEC Versa 2400 computer.
Color LCD Display Panel
Both the NEC Versa 240X and 243X series have a built-in 11.3" passive matrix dual scan
DSTN color liquid crystal display (LCD) which you can adjust and tilt to your desired
viewing position. The LCD provides 800x600 pixel resolution with a maximum of 256 col-
ors, and supports simultaneous display with an external VGA monitor.
The LCD screen also uses Cold Cathode Fluorescent Tube (CCFT) backlighting which con-
sumes most of the power from the notebook. To save battery power, the system has an ad-
vanced power management feature that powers down the LCD when it has not been used
for a predetermined amount of time. You can adjust the brightness and contrast level of the
LCD by pressing the "Fn " key (lower left corner) and the desired brightness or contrast
keys (lower right corner) at the same time.
Power Switch/LCD Cover Switch
The power switch button, when pressed, turns on the notebook's power. Press it again to
turn computer power off. Whenever the notebook is in "Save-to-file" suspend mode, the
power switch button serves as a manual resume switch that allows you to continue your
application work at the place you last left it before the suspend mode was activated.
On the top of the unit underneath the right hinge is the LCD cover switch button. This but-
ton automatically depresses and releases when you lower or raise the LCD display panel.
Depending on your power management settings, this button will either switch the notebook
to the Suspend mode or will shut off the LCD when you close the cover.
NOTE: Always wait for a few seconds between
turning off and turning on the power. Likewise,
check to see if the power switch is turned off
before installing the power supply.
