Ambient light sensor Ambient light sensor (for touch screen models only)

The ambient light sensor (also referred to as ALS sensor) detects the surrounding light intensity to adjust the display brightness and to control keyboard backlight.
Notes: The ALS sensor is enabled by default. To change the settings:
  1. Go to Start ➙ Settings ➙ System ➙ Display.
  2. Under Brightness, change the settings as you prefer.

Time-of-flight sensor Time-of-flight sensor (for touch screen models only)

The time-of-flight sensor (also referred to as ToF sensor) emits an infrared laser and uses the reflected infrared energy to measure the distance and depth of objects in front of the ToF sensor. The data collected by the sensor can be used to detect human presence or recognize gestures.

Note: The infrared laser emitted by the ToF sensor is invisible and has no harm to human eyes.

Privacy shutter Privacy shutter

The F9 key works as a privacy shutter. When the F9 indicator is on, your camera will be disabled.

CAUTION:
When the computer is operating, it should be placed on a hard and flat surface with its bottom area not in contact with user’s bare skin. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature of the bottom surface will remain within an acceptable range as defined in IEC 62368-1, but such temperatures can still be high enough to cause discomfort or harm to the user if directly touched for over one minute at a time. As such, it is recommended that users avoid prolonged direct contact with the bottom of the computer.
