!
Use the NEC Versa VX on a level surface and avoid moving the NEC Versa VX
during system operation, especially while the hard disk, diskette drive, or CD-ROM
drive is being accessed.
!
When using the AC adapter, make sure the power source falls within the system’s
compatible range of 100–240 volts AC. Never use the AC adapter if the voltage
falls outside of this range. (Watch for this when traveling to other countries.)
!
Turn computer power off before attaching or removing non-plug and play devices.
!
Disconnect the notebook from the electrical outlet if it is not going to be used for a
long time. This will avoid damage by transient over-voltage.

Do not attempt to disassemble the computer. For safety the computer should be
disassembled only by a qualified service person.

Do not push any foreign objects into the NEC Versa VX bays, connectors, and
slots.

Do not use the system in humid or dusty environments.
!
Keep liquids and food away from the system.

If the AC adapter becomes extremely hot, unplug the adapter and let it cool.
! The electrical outlet and any extension cords should be rated to support the total
current load of all connected devices.
!
Be sure to follow these power cord safety tips:
— Unplug by the plug only; do not pull on the cable.
— Place the power cord so that it can not be tripped on, stepped on, nor have items
placed directly on the power cord.
— Use an electrical outlet that is as close as possible to the computer.
!
Do not use the IR port directly under fluorescent lighting, or near flashing
incandescent light.

If one of the following situations arises, have the notebook checked by service
personnel:
— The power cord or plug is damaged.
— Liquid has penetrated into the notebook.
