Using The Main Battery Pack - NEC VERSA 6200MX User Manual

Using the Main Battery Pack

The NEC Versa 6200MX comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)
battery pack. You can run your system on battery power for approximately
two to four hours with power management features enabled. It's easy to in-
stall and remove.
Your NEC Versa 6200MX system provides two tools to help you keep track
of the main (or an optional) battery's power level. These include the battery
percentage status described earlier in this chapter under "Status Icons" and
the Power Gauge utility. Both let you know how much battery power re-
mains. See Chapter 3, "Using Setup," for more details on using the Power
Gauge.
When battery power is very low, the power LED flashes amber.
When battery power gets low, do either of the following:
T
Press the Suspend button to put your system in Suspend mode, remove
the battery pack, and replace it with a fully charged Li-Ion battery.
T
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
keep the system within standard operating temperatures, the battery re-
charges in approximately 2 hours whether or not you use your system.
You can also buy an optional NEC Versa 6200MX battery charger to
quickly charge your battery. See the online Options Catalog.
