POWERING YOUR NEC VERSA
Since the NEC Versa 2205C is a truly portable computer,
you can use it practically anywhere with any one of a num-
ber of power sources, including:
■
the AC adapter connected to an electrical wall outlet
(using AC power)
■
the battery pack
■
the optional DC adapter connected to a car cigarette
lighter.
AC Adapter
Use the AC adapter that came with your NEC Versa 2205C
to run your computer with AC (alternating current) power,
or to recharge the battery pack. Use the AC adapter when-
ever a wall outlet is nearby.
