4-2 Traveling with Your NEC Versa
TIP: Speed the trip through airport security by carrying a charged
system. Inspectors want to see the screen display a message. The
boot message is usually sufficient.
If your system is fully charged, the inspection only takes a minute or
so. Otherwise, be prepared to attach the AC adapter and power ca-
ble. And if you don’t have these, the inspection might include a dis-
assembly of the system.
POWER CONNECTIONS
With the right accessories, you can run your NEC Versa 2000 almost any-
where! Your system self-adjusts to various power sources. The United
States, Canada, and most of Central and South America use 110-volt alter-
nating current (AC). Most other countries of the world use 220-volt AC.
The NEC Versa 2000 adapts to voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts.
There are a few countries with areas that use direct current (DC) as their
main power source. You need a DC-to-AC converter in particular areas of
Argentina, Brazil, India, Madeira, and South Africa.
To use your system overseas, you need an adapter plug and transformer.
There are five different plugs available worldwide. You can buy these at an
electronics supply store.
TIP: When using a modem outside the U.S. and Canada, you
might need an international telephone adapter. You can buy this at
an electronics supply store.
For more information on using the modem, see "Learning to Use the Hard-
ware" in this guide.
