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.
