Switching-over operating modes for portable equipment such as CD player - using carrying handle to interact with sensor to cause changeover if exposed to shock condition risk

摘要

A portable CD player has a carrying handle (H) that operates a switch (S) to indicate whether or not the unit is exposed to possible shock load conditions ie is being carried or transported in a vehicle. When in use the sensor output signal is used to switch to a protected mode of operation particularly to protect the head system. When used in a road vehicle the carrying handle is laid flat with the sensor active. ADVANTAGE - Provides protected mode of operation.
