    IR Port The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa VXi communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology. The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa Note and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.

  • Page 107: Using The Ir Port

    Follow these guidelines when using the IR port to communicate with another infrared device. Position the NEC Versa VXi no more than three feet away from the IR peripheral device you are using. Make sure that there is no greater than a 30º angle between the computer and the device.

  • Page 153: External Mouse

    How can a PS/2 mouse and an external keyboard be connected to the note book at the same time? The NEC Versa VXi computer has only one PS/2 port that accommodates either a mouse or a keyboard. You can get around this by purchasing an optional Y adapter or NEC Port Replicator.

    PC Cards In which slots do my PC cards go? Your PC cards can go into either slot if they are NEC-approved cards. Other software may not support the use of both slots. Type III cards only fit in the bottom slot (slot 0).

  • Page 155: Diskette Drive

    Why do certain PC cards cause my battery life to drop noticeably? Certain hard disk cards and wireless radio cards consume more power than others and can impact battery life. When not using any PC card, close all applications using the card and pop it part of the way out of the slot to save power. In Setup, I disabled or reconfigured peripheral devices (like the ports or sound), yet I am unable to use the freed IRQs or I/O address resources with my PC Cards?

  • Page 157: Booting

    Booting What is the difference between a warm boot and a cold boot? A warm boot restarts the system while system power is on. A warm boot is also a software reset. A warm boot clears volatile system memory and reloads the operating system.
  • Page 158 What is the function of Suspend-to-RAM? (Standby in Windows 98/2000) You can initiate full Suspend-to-RAM in Windows 98/2000 by accessing Start, Shut Down, Standby. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep” and requires that you press the Power button to resume operation. Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby power-saving mode and is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away from your system for a short period of time.
  • Page 159 What is the function of Suspend-to-File? (Hibernation in Windows 98/2000) Suspend-to-File (Hibernation) provides the greatest power savings by putting the system into a maximum power shutdown. When the system goes into STF mode, it saves data and system status and then shuts off power to all components. STF mode lets you save power without first saving your work.

    What is a time-out? A time-out is the amount of time your system or a particular component is inactive. Miscellaneous How do I set the time and date? You can change the time and date in Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT as follows.
  • Page 161 Why do I get a message “Insufficient memory” when I run some games? I have 64 MB of memory. The “Insufficient memory” refers to the 640 kilobytes of base memory. Since there are drivers being loaded at power on, the amount of memory can be lower than the game requires.
