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.

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 laptop 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 laptop 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!
