Ambient light sensor (ALS)
If you have dynamic brightness selected and are running on battery power, the ambient
light sensor measures the surrounding light and adjusts the display brightness and contrast
accordingly. This ensures that you have proper settings for all lighting conditions. To enable
dynamic brightness, see “Adjusting the display brightness” on page32.
Motion DataGuard
For J3400 tablets using a hard disk drive (spinning media), the DataGuard feature is
included, which detects shocks, extreme vibrations, and falls. If these conditions are
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.
