Extending Battery Life
While on the road, it is important to be aware of the simple things you can
do to extend the life of the system’s main battery. One way is to keep the
LCD backlight setting to Standard instead of Full. You can toggle between
these two settings by pressing the function keys, (
Fn
+
F5
). Or, slide the
backlight control to a dimmer level.
You will find an extensive explanation of how best to apply the power man-
agement tools that your system offers in Advanced Topics in the online
user’s guide under the NEC Information group. Other important topics to
view in the online document include Maximizing Battery Life, Battery
Charging and Disposal.
Using the DC Car Adapter
Another way to power your NEC Versa 6000 is via car battery power using
the optional DC car adapter. Connect your system to the optional DC car
adapter as follows.
1.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the system if connected.
2.
Plug the appropriate end of the car DC adapter into the power port on the
system.
