Traveling with Your NEC Versa 6-1
Traveling with Your
NEC Versa
Your NEC Versa system makes a natural traveling companion. Using a
battery, you can use the computer anywhere you go. Here is some informa-
tion you might find helpful when taking the NEC Versa on the road.
Carry an extra charged battery pack (and its VersaBay II adapter) for
additional battery power.
Check that you have everything you need before you leave on a trip. Be sure
you have all the necessary cables and accessories. (See the checklist at
the end of this chapter.)
If you run your system with battery power, maximize battery life by us-
ing power-saving features whenever possible.
Take the AC adapter in case you have an electrical outlet handy. This
saves battery power for when you really need it.
Take along any application or data files on diskette that you might need.
POWER CONNECTIONS
With the right accessories, you can run your NEC Versa system almost
anywhere! Your system self-adjusts to various power sources. The United
States, Canada, and most of Central and South America use 120-volt alter-
nating current (AC). Most other countries of the world use 240-volt AC.
The NEC Versa 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. There are five differ-
ent plugs available worldwide. You can buy these at an specialty computer
supply store.
