Using the Battery
The NEC Versa VXi system comes with a rechargeable Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or
Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Battery packs are easy to install and remove.
Note
Although the battery is fully charged at the factory, transit and shelf time may reduce
the initial battery charge. We recommend that the first time you use the system, connect it to AC
power using the AC adapter. This also recharges the battery.
When battery power drops to the 8% level where the Battery Warning is activated, the power
LED lights yellow.
When battery power reaches 3% (Windows 98 and Windows 2000), the power LED lights
amber and the system beeps a warning and the system goes into Suspend or Save to File mode.
When battery power reaches 8% (Windows NT), the power LED lights amber and the system
goes into Suspend.
To prevent accidental battery ignition or explosion, adhere to the
following:
!
Keep the battery away from extreme heat.
!
Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals to prevent a short circuit.
!
Make sure the battery is properly installed in the battery bay.
!
Read the precautions printed on the battery.
