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 2500 Series computer.
Color LCD Display Panel
The notebook has a built-in 12.1 inch 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 colors, and supports simultane-
ous 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, allowing you to continue your ap-
plication work where you left off.
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.
Status Panel and Power Indicator
Directly below the LCD display, in the center near the right hinge, is the Suspend Mode
LED displays. These LEDs provide an easy way to determine the current power mode of
the unit. Below these two LEDs is a row of seven more. These LEDs light to indicate
whether a device is being accessed, whether an operation is being done, or if a certain mode
is or has been activated.
NOTE: Always wait for a few seconds between
turning off and turning on the power.
