NOTE: Connect the
USB-C power adapter to only one of the three USB-C ports.
NOTE:The first device connected to
a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port can receive up to 15 W (3 A) of
power. Each additional port can provide up to 7.5 W (1.5 A). If
the first device uses less than 15 W, any unused power is shared
with other ports (within their limits). NOTE:After resuming from hibernate state, your
computer restores USB-C power in stages: The right-side port
receives 15 W first, followed by the left-upper and left-bottom
ports receiving 7.5 W each. This ensures system stability and
prevents power surges. |

Dell low blue light display
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.
The display on this computer is designed to minimize blue light and complies with TÜV Rheinland's requirement for low blue light displays.
Low blue light mode is enabled at the factory, so no further configuration is necessary.
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.
- 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.
- Take an extended break for 20 minutes every two hours.
