7-2 Traveling Tips

Preparing for Travel

The NEC Versa computer makes a natural traveling companion. With a little
preparation you can use the computer practically anywhere you go, to prepare your
business documents, confirm your travel plans, surf the Internet, or simply stay in touch
with those back home!

Here is what you should do before you leave home:

Note

Speed the trip through airport security by carrying a charged system.

Inspectors may want to see the screen display a message. The boot message is usually
sufficient.

If your system is fully charged, the inspection only takes a minute or so. Otherwise, be
prepared to attach the AC adapter and power cable. And if you don’t have these, the
inspection might include a disassembly of the system.

T

Back up your NEC Versa’s hard disk.

T

Insert a fully charged battery to make sure your system is ready to quickly boot up
at the airport security check.

T

Fully charge all your batteries.

T

Tape your business card to your NEC Versa, AC adapter, and batteries.

T

If you run your system with battery power, maximize battery life by using
power-saving features whenever possible.
