Powering On; Using The Main Battery Pack - NEC SX Service And Reference Manual

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

Powering On

Power on the system as follows:
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.

Using the Main Battery Pack

The NEC 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 NEC 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 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 one of the following:
T
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.
T
Use operating system features to put the system in Suspend (Windows 95
and Windows NT) or Standby (Windows 98).
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
recharges in approximately 2 hours whether or not you use your system.
You can also buy an optional NEC Versa battery charger to charge your battery.
