Using The Main Battery Pack; Installing The Battery Pack - NEC VERSA 2600 Service Manual

Using the Main Battery Pack

The NEC Versa 2600 Series system comes with either of two rechargeable batteries:
a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery pack, or
a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack (models 2650CDT and 2655CDT only).
Your NEC Versa 2600 Series system provides two tools to help you keep track of the main
battery's power level:
T
Battery Gauge utility, which lets you quickly identify how much battery power
you have available
T
Windows 95 Battery Gauge, which lets you quickly identify how much battery
power you have available.
When remaining battery power falls to 10%, the system emits a single beep; when battery
power falls to 5%, the system beeps once every 60 seconds.

Installing the Battery Pack

Install the battery pack in your system as follows. (For information about replacing a battery
pack, see "Replacing the Battery Pack," later in this section.)
1. If your system is on, save your data, close any applications running, and power off
the system.
2. Align the battery pack with the Battery Pack bay. Make sure the battery contacts
are aligned properly with the connector inside the bay. Install the battery pack
only in this bay.
NOTE
Although the battery is fully charged at
the factory, transit and shelf time may reduce the
initial battery charge. We recommend that the
first time you use your system, you connect it to
AC power using the AC adapter. This will also
recharge your battery.
!
CAUTION
Be sure to save your data before replacing the
battery pack or connecting the AC adapter. Fail-
ure to do so can result in data loss.
