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

carried. Note that the HDD protection and computer locking features are mutually exclusive; both cannot
be selected at the same time.
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.
