Dell low blue light display
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to blue light from the display may lead to long-term effects such as eye strain, eye
fatigue, or damage to the eyes.
The ComfortView feature in Dell laptops is designed to minimize blue light emission from the display for better eye comfort.
To reduce the risk of eye strain from using the display for an extended period of time, we recommend that you:
1. Keep your eyes between 20 inches and 28 inches (50 cm and 70 cm) from the display.
2. Blink frequently to moisten your eyes or wet your eyes with water.
3. Take a break for 20 minutes every two hours.
4. Look away from your display and gaze at a distant object at 20 feet (61 cm) away for at least 20 seconds during each break.

Keyboard shortcuts of XPS 13 9300
NOTE: Keyboard characters may differ depending on the keyboard language configuration. Keys used for shortcuts
remain the same across all language configurations.
Some keys on your keyboard have two symbols on them. These keys can be used to type alternate characters or to perform secondary
functions. The symbol shown on the lower part of the key refers to the character that is typed out when the key is pressed. If you press
shift and the key, the symbol shown on the upper part of the key is typed out. For example, if you press 2, 2 is typed out; if you press
Shift + 2, @ is typed out.
The keys F1-F12 at the top row of the keyboard are function keys for multi-media control, as indicated by the icon at the bottom of the
key. Press the function key to invoke the task represented by the icon. For example, pressing F1 mutes the audio (refer to the table
below).
However, if the function keys F1-F12 are needed for specific software applications, multi-media functionality can be disabled by pressing
fn + esc. Subsequently, multimedia control can be invoked by pressing fn and the respective function key. For example, mute audio by
pressing fn + F1.
NOTE: You can also define the primary behavior of the function keys (F1-F12) by changing Function Key Behavior in
BIOS setup program.
