Powering Your NEC Versa
The NEC Versa 4000 can be powered from a variety of dif-
ferent sources, making it a truly portable system. Operate
your NEC Versa 4000 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 or an optional second battery pack
■ the optional DC adapter connected to a car cigarette
lighter.
AC Adapter
Use the AC adapter that came with your NEC Versa to run
your computer on alternating current (AC) power, or to re-
charge the battery pack. Use the AC adapter whenever a
wall outlet is nearby.
