Operating Basics

Detection Level

This function can be set to four levels. The sensitivity levels in which

vibrations, impacts and similar occurrences are detected can be set to OFF,

1, 2 and 3 in ascending order. Level 3 is recommended for better protection

of the computer. However, when the computer is used as handheld or in

other unstable conditions, setting the detection level to 3 could result in

frequent execution of HDD Protection, which will slow HDD reading and

writing. Set a lower detection level when the speed of HDD reading and

writing is a priority.
Different detection levels can be set depending on whether the computer is

used as handheld or mobile usages, or whether it is used in a stable

environment such as on a table in the workplace or at home. By setting

different detection levels for the computer depending on whether it runs

with the AC power (desktop) or with batteries (handheld or mobile usage),

the detection level automatically switches according to the power

connection mode.
