G-Sensor - Hard Disk Drive Protection

The built-in G-Sensor gives protection to the system and hard disk (the G-Sensor does not function with Solid
State Drives) in the event that the computer is accidentally dropped when the system is powered on (40cm drop
approved when the system is powered on
and 120cm drop approved when the system is powered off). Press
the Menu button (or double-click the Pop Menu icon

in the taskbar) to bring up the on-screen menu and use

the stylus pen to toggle the G-Sensor mode ON

or

Off

.

If the system is dropped, and the G-Sensor is on, the system will briefly pause (for about 3 seconds) to protect
the hard disk and will display an on-screen message and an audible warning) to inform that the hard disk is pro-
tected. Allow the system about 3 seconds to recover before using it again.

Set the G-Sensor On or Off in accordance with the manner the computer is being used. If the computer is sitting
on the desktop (or if you find the G-Sensor is too sensitive), then the G-Sensor can be turned Off. The G-Sensor
will be automatically activated to offer protection when the computer enters Sleep or Hibernate modes (even if
turned off).
