Using The Main Battery Pack - NEC Versa LX User Manual

Do not cover or place objects on the AC adapter. Keeping
the adapter clear of objects lets the adapter cool properly
during use.

1. Locate the latch on the front of the LCD panel, slide it to the right, and raise
the panel.
2. Locate the Power/Sleep button and press it to turn on system power. For
additional information about Power control buttons and power LED's, refer
to Chapter 1, "Introducing the Versa."

Using the Main Battery Pack

The Versa 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 install and remove.
Your Versa system provides tools to help you keep track of the main (or an
optional) battery's power level. These include the power status LED described in
Chapter 1, and SystemSoft's PowerProfiler (for Window NT systems, only)
described later in this chapter. Both provide important battery status
information.
When battery power is very low, the power LED flashes amber.
When battery power gets low, do either of the following:
n
Press the Power/Sleep button and hold it in place for 4 or fewer seconds
to put your system in Suspend mode. Remove the battery pack and
replace it with a fully charged battery.
n
Leave the battery pack in the system and connect your 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
recharges in approximately 2 hours whether or not you use your system.
You can also buy an optional Versa battery charger to charge your battery.
