to the examples specified here. The stored data uses a very small portion
of the total hard disk capacity, approximately 20 MB or less per year.
Transmission of collected data is performed when the data transfer feature

will be used for the better product planning and development such as
improvement of application software.
Subject to the use restrictions noted above, the stored data may be made

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
Some models have the function for reducing the risk of damage on the
Hard Disk Drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, HDD Protection
detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the computer,
and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe position to
reduce the risk of damage that might be caused by head-to-disk contact.
HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the Hard Disk Drive
will not be damaged.
During audio/video playback, when the computer detects a shock or
vibration and the Hard Disk Drive's head is parked, the playback might
be temporarily interrupted.
HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped with
SSD.
When vibration is detected, a notification is displayed on the screen, and
the icon in the Taskbar changes to the protection state. This message is
displayed until the
OK
button is pressed or 30 seconds pass. When
vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.
Setting up HDD Protection
You can change HDD Protection settings.
