Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet Client

Adjusting Display Settings and Screen Brightness

The Display settings on the Motion Dashboard are used to set the brightness level of the LCD display. These settings are used in conjunction with the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) to maintain a level of brightness and contrast in all lighting conditions.

The built-in light sensor located on the Tablet Client front panel measures the ambient light in the environment. The system then automatically balances the brightness of the Tablet Client display in relation to the surroundings. You 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.

To set the “Dynamic” display brightness to ALS On

1.Open the Motion Dashboard.

2.Under Display, tap the radio button beside Dynamic.

3. Move the slider until the Tablet Client display is at the preferred brightness level.

The system will then auto- matically adjust the display brightness to changes in lighting.

Move slider to preferred brightness level.

Setting “Fixed” Display Brightness: ALS Off

To set the “Fixed” display brightness to Off:

1.Open the Motion Dashboard.

2.Under Display, tap the radio button beside Fixed.

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.
