Dell low blue light display

This section explains about Dell low blue light 4K display panel.
WARNING: The possible long-term effects of blue light emission from the display may cause personal injury such as digital eye strain, eye fatigue, and damage to the eyes. Using the monitor for extended periods of time may also cause pain in parts of the body such as neck, arm, back, and shoulder.
Dell low blue light display optimizes eye comfort with a flicker-free screen. This feature is designed to reduce the amount of blue light that is emitted from the monitor to optimize eye comfort.
To reduce the risk of eye strain and neck/arm/back/shoulder pain from using the monitor for long periods of time, we suggest you to:

1. Set the distance of the screen between 20 inches to 28 inches (50 cm-70 cm) from your eyes.
2. Blink frequently to moisten your eyes or wet your eyes with water after prolonged usage of the monitor.
3. Take regular and frequent breaks for 20 minutes every two hours.
4. Look away from your monitor and gaze at a distant object at 20 ft away for at least 20 s during the breaks.
5. Perform stretches to relieve tension in the neck, arm, back, and shoulders during the breaks.

Keyboard shortcuts of Precision 5560

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.
Table 31. List of keyboard shortcuts

The Fn key is also used with selected keys on the keyboard to invoke other secondary functions.
