Everyone’s eyes react differently to changes in light levels and there may be times when a
particular range of automatic brightness adjustment is uncomfortable for you.
You can tailor the automatic brightness adjustment by selecting one of the 5 pre-configured
brightness profiles: Dark, Office, Dusk, Daylight, and Sunlight. These profiles control the range
of brightness levels to values based on typical surroundings or times of day.
For example, if you typically work in an office environment but the automatic brightness doesn’t
make the display bright enough for you, you can select the Dusk, Daylight or Sunlight profile to
increase the brightness range proportionally. Similarly, if the normal brightness control results in
displays that are too bright, you can select the Office or Dark profile to reduce the brightness
range.
When you first start ARMORutils, the system defaults to the Office profile. Once you select a
different profile, the tablet will continue to use that profile until you select another.

The Light Sensor bar provides a visual indication that the ALS circuit is functioning correctly.
Screen brightness changes in response to the changing ambient light level will occur gradually
to allow your eyes to adjust and may not be readily apparent, but the Light Sensor bar gives an
immediate indication that the ALS is controlling the screen brightness. The Light Sensor bar will
continue to operate even when the backlight mode is set to Manual.
