Using Power Connections
With the right accessories, you can run your NEC Versa almost anywhere! Your
system self-adjusts to various power sources. The United States, Canada, and most of
Central and South America use 120-volt alternating current (AC). Most other countries
of the world use 240-volt AC. The NEC Versa adapts to voltages ranging from 100 to
240 volts, 50 or 60-Hz.
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 several different
plugs available worldwide. You can buy these at an electronics supply store.
Getting Through Customs
With so many countries in the world, you can be sure that there are a variety of customs
regulations. Plan wisely to get your NEC Versa notebook computer through customs by
carrying the appropriate documentation to assure the customs agent that your system is
not a recent purchase.
Travelers are often asked, when returning to their home country, whether or not they
purchased the computer while outside of the country. Sometimes, the proof of purchase
such as a bill of sale, insurance policy, or purchase receipt is sufficient. Taking along
the purchase receipt for your notebook computer may sound practical, but may not
always suffice, particularly when the purchaser of the computer is your company and
the original receipt is not available to you.
Another alternative to a proof of purchase document is a Certificate of Registration, a
document that is issued when you register your notebook computer with the Customs
Service prior to departure. The certificate of registration contains a brief description of
your computer and lists appropriate serial numbers for identification. The document is
available from the customs web site at http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/.
To avoid hassle when moving your system through customs, you may want to obtain a
certificate of registration and carry it, and your Versa notebook computer, wherever
you may travel!
