can set brightness modes from the Motion Dashboard (note: you can also
turn the display off).
Fixed — Sets the display brightness to a fixed level (ALS is off); use the
slider to adjust the display to the desired brightness level
Dynamic — Sets the display so that the system adjusts the brightness to
the preferred level under changing lighting conditions while maintaining
viewability (ALS is on)
Setting “Dynamic” Display Brightness: ALS On. When you turn on the
ALS, the display will automatically brighten if you move from dim to bright
light (within the range supported by the hardware), or automatically dim if
you move to an environment with a lower level of lighting. You may not be
able to visibly detect the adjustment. Using ALS also helps to reduce power
consumption when possible.
1. Open the Motion
Dashboard.
2. On the Display panel
under Display, tap the
radio button beside
Dynamic.
3. Move the slider until the
Tablet PC display is at the
preferred brightness
level. The system will
then automatically adjust
the display brightness to
changes in lighting.
Setting “Fixed” Display Brightness: ALS Off.
1. Open the Motion Dashboard.
2. On the Display panel under Display, tap the Fixed radio button.
3. Move the slider until the brightness is at the desired level. The
system will keep the same brightness level at all times; that is, it will
not adjust the display brightness to changes in lighting.
NOTE: In low-light settings, the “Fixed” brightness setting
may keep the display brighter than is needed for good
viewability. Keeping the brightness always at the same level
may also use more battery power than necessary.
Turning the Display On and Off.
1. Open the Motion Dashboard.
2. Tap Off in the Brightness area of the Display panel.
NOTE: To turn the display back on, wave your pen over the
display or press any key on the keyboard. When the display
comes on, the Fixed/Dynamic setting remains selected as it
was.
Move slider to preferred
brightness level.
