Keyboard shortcuts
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 that is 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 that is 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 perform specific functions, as indicated by the icon on the key. Press the function key to enable the task represented by the icon. For example, pressing F1 mutes the audio (see the table below).
| Function key | Primary behavior |

ComfortView
Blue light is a color in the light spectrum which has a short wavelength and high energy. Chronic exposure to blue light, particularly from digital sources, may disrupt sleep patterns and cause long-term effects such as eye strain, eye fatigue, or damage to the eyes.
Dell ComfortView software technology reduces harmful blue light emissions to make extended screen time easy on your eyes.
ComfortView mode can be enabled and configured using the Dell CinemaColor application.
ComfortView mode complies with TÜV Rheinland's requirement for low blue light displays.
To reduce the risk of eye strain, it is also recommended that you:
- Position the display at a comfortable viewing distance between 20 and 28 inches (50 cm and 70 cm) from your eyes.
- Blink frequently to moisten your eyes, wet your eyes with water, or apply suitable eye drops.
- Take an extended break for 20 minutes every two hours.
- Look away from your display, and gaze at a distant object at 20 ft (609.60 cm) away for at least 20 seconds during each break.
Dell Optimizer
Dell Optimizer is an AI-based software application that allows you to customize your computer settings for power and battery, and more.
- Extend the battery life of your computer with Intelligent Battery Extender and Dynamic Charge.
- Tune the performance, power consumption, cooling, and fan noise with selectable thermal modes.
- Access and secure your computer depending on your physical presence.
- Download and redeem the apps that are purchased with your computer.
For more information about configuring and using these features, search for Dell Optimizer at the Dell Support Site.
