DataGuard

The C5 includes the DataGuard feature, which detects shocks, extreme vibrations, and falls. If detected, DataGuard moves the drive heads away from the disk, which can prevent hard drive failures and data loss. For more information, go to Control Panel and open DataGuard.

Microphones

The Motion C5 is equipped with two liquid-resistant microphones that you can use to record audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without the need for an external microphone.

For information about using the microphones, see “Using the built-in microphones” on page 26.
