NEC VERSA POWER SOURCES
The NEC Versa can be powered using different sources,
making it a truly portable system. Operate your NEC Versa
system just about anywhere using one of the following
power sources:
the AC adapter connected to an electrical wall outlet
(using AC power)
the battery pack and/or an optional second battery pack.
Read the following sections for specific steps on powering
on the system.
Using the AC Adapter
Use the AC adapter and power cable that came with your
NEC Versa to run your computer on alternating current
(AC) power, or to recharge the battery pack. (See “Battery
Charging” later in this chapter for proper charging and dis-
charging procedures.)
When connected, the AC adapter charges the battery
whether or not the NEC Versa is powered on. The LED on
the AC Adapter indicates the current battery charge status
as follows:
Green indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Orange indicates that the battery is charging.
