Motion Computing M1400 manual Tablet PC Input Panel TIP, Varying light settings using the ALS

	Chapter 3 Motion Tablet PC Software
Brightness	The Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) built into the Tablet PC detects light in
	the environment and adjusts the display brightness.
	Available Settings:
	• Off — Turns off the display back light
	• Fixed — Maintains a fixed brightness level on the display that
	remains constant under varying light conditions
	• Dynamic — Maintains a relative brightness level on the display in
	varying light settings using the ALS
	NOTE: For optimal battery life benefits and viewability from the ALS, we
	recommend that you set the brightness slider to the mid-point or slightly
	above or below mid-point. If you set the slider higher than this, you lose
	some of the battery-saving benefits while gaining minimal improvement
	in viewability.
