“voice quiet” environments; the microphone detects sounds from a
larger area

software is turned off

or change the angle of acceptance.
Brightness The built-in Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) detects light in the environment
and automatically 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
— Uses ALS to maintain a relative brightness level on the
display in varying light conditions
NOTE: For optimal battery life benefits and viewability from ALS, set the
brightness scale to the mid-point or slightly above or below mid-point. If
the setting is higher than this, you lose some of the battery-saving
benefits while gaining minimal improvement in viewability.
