USING THE SHOCK SENSOR UTILITY

The Shock Sensor Utility is designed to decrease the risk
of damage to the computer's hard disk drive (HDD) in
the event of excessive impact or vibration. The Shock
Sensor Utility also has the ability to improve the security
of the computer by automatically locking the computer
with a password when it is carried. Note that the HDD
protection and computer locking features are mutually
exclusive; both cannot be selected at the same time.
■ Shock Sensor Utility does not completely
protect the HDD and does not provide
absolute security for the computer.
■ The computer may stop temporarily while
the HDD head is retracted. To restart the
computer, keep the system horizontal.
1. Double-click the Shock Sensor Utility icon in the
Notification Area at the bottom-right of the screen.
The [Shock Sensor Utility] window appears.
2. Click the [Setting] button. The [Shock Sensor Utility
Settings] window appears.
