Using the Ambient Light Sensor

The ambient light sensor (ALS) is located on the bottom of the computer display panel. The ALS

detects available environmental light and automatically increases or decreases the display backlighting to

compensate for low-light and high-light environments.
You can enable or disable the ALS feature by pressing the <Fn> and left-arrow key combination.

NOTE:

Do not cover the ALS with any adhesive labels. If covered up, the ALS automatically sets the display

brightness to the minimum level.
