Acer GraviSense
Acer GraviSense is an innovative utility designed to further protect your data by
automatically moving the read/write heads of your Acer notebook's hard disk
away from the storage disk (this is known as "parking" the heads) in the event
that sudden motion is detected. Acer GraviSense can also be set to activate an
alarm in case your notebook is moved by an unauthorized person.
Using Acer GraviSense
You can launch Acer GraviSense in a number of ways:
• From the Start menu, go to Start > (All) Programs > Acer GraviSense .
• When Acer GraviSense is running, an icon will be displayed in the task
tray. Move your cursor over the icon to identify Acer GraviSense. Left-click
or right-click on the icon to open a context menu.
Protecting the HDD
Activate this feature by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting Hard Drive
Protection.
Selecting this function will halt data transactions to the HDD in the event that
any vibration or movement which exceeds the level tolerated by the HDD is
detected.
