System Care

The NEC Versa notebook is designed to be a durable, dependable system built for
extensive use and travel. Follow these guidelines to maintain the condition and
performance of your computer.

Immediately turn off and unplug the NEC Versa notebook

under the following conditions:

!

The power cord is damaged or frayed.

!

Liquid spills on or into the NEC Versa notebook.

!

The system is dropped or the casing is damaged.

Precautions for System Use

Follow these precautions when using your NEC Versa computer and AC adapter.

!

Avoid dropping or bumping the computer or the AC adapter.

!

Do not stack heavy objects on the computer, the AC adapter, or the batteries.

!

Avoid moving the NEC Versa notebook during system operation, especially while
the hard disk is being accessed.

!

When using the AC adapter, make sure the power source falls within the system's
compatible range of 100-240 volts and 50 or 60-Hz, AC. Never use the AC adapter
if the voltage falls outside of this range. (Watch for this when traveling to other
countries.)

!

Turn computer power off before attaching or removing non-plug and play devices.

!

Do not push any foreign objects into the connectors, and slots.

!

Do not set the computer on top of a magnetized area. Doing so can destroy the data
on your hard disk drive. (Some airline tray tables are magnetic.)

!

Avoid using the computer or AC adapter for extended periods in direct sunlight.

!

Do not use the system in humid or dusty environments.

!

Turn computer power off before cleaning it.

!

Avoid exposing the NEC Versa notebook or AC adapter to extreme changes in
temperature or humidity. If it is unavoidable, allow your NEC Versa notebook to
adjust to room temperature before use.

!

When cleaning the system, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Avoid wiping the display
surface with abrasive material, including rough fabric. Do not use a cleaning
solution; this may damage the notebook's plastic.

!

If the AC adapter becomes extremely hot, unplug the adapter and let it cool.

!

Keep the AC adapter away from the IR ports.
