Internal Li-Ion Batteries
A Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery provides the main power source in your NEC
Versa 4200 computer. See Appendix B for a list of Li-Ion battery specifica-
tions. In addition to this battery, the CMOS battery and bridge battery pro-
vide system backup.
CMOS Battery
This lithium battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss in the
system’s complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM. This
memory area contains information on the system’s configuration, for exam-
ple date, time, drives, and memory. The CMOS battery lasts approximately
two years.
Only an authorized NEC dealer can change a CMOS battery.
Bridge Battery
The bridge battery saves your system status in Suspend mode, retaining
memory contents and system status while the spent battery is removed and
replaced. This gives you time to install a fully charged battery or plug in AC
power when your battery charge becomes low.
Only an authorized NEC dealer can change a bridge battery.
SYSTEM CARE
The NEC Versa 4200 is a durable, dependable system built for extensive use
and travel. Follow these guidelines to maintain the condition and perform-
ance of your computer.
Precautions
Follow these precautions when using your NEC Versa 4200, AC adapter,
