different detection levels for the computer depending on whether it runs
with the AC power (desktop) or with batteries (handheld or mobile usage),

3D Viewer
This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according
to tilting or vibration of the computer.
When HDD Protection detects computer vibration the Hard Disk Drive head
is parked and the 3D object disk rotation will stop. When the head is un-
parked the disk will begin to rotate again.
Click
3D Viewer
button to start.
This 3D object virtually represents the Computer's internal Hard Disk
Drive. This representation may vary from the actual number of disks,
disk rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction.
This feature may use a large amount of CPU and memory on some
models. The computer may become slow or sluggish when attempting
to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed.
Intensely shaking the computer or other subjecting it to strong impacts
may cause damage to the computer.
