3.3 Language Settings

To change the device language, navigate to the "Settings" menu on the main interface. From there, select "Language" and choose between English, Portuguese, or Chinese.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button (usually labeled "Power" or indicated by a power symbol) to turn the device on or off.

4.2 Calibration

The gloss meter requires calibration before each use to ensure accuracy. The calibration base is integrated into the sensor cover.

1. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the calibration base and test port.
2. Place the gloss meter firmly onto its calibration base.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to initiate the calibration process. The device will self-calibrate to the standard.
4. Wait for the calibration complete message before proceeding with measurements.

4.3 Measurement Modes

The device offers two primary measurement modes:

• Simple Mode: Provides a quick, single gloss reading.
• Statistical Mode: Allows for multiple readings and provides statistical analysis, such as average, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation.

Switch between modes using the designated buttons on the device interface (e.g., "Mode" or directional buttons).
