VI. Precaution
1. When the colorimeter has not been used for a long time, it is recommended to perform calibration before using.
2. Please ensure that the sample is evenly colored with a flat and clean surface, otherwise it will affect the measurement accuracy.
3. After the base is removed from the host, it should be stored in a clean place to avoid contamination of the standard tile.
4. Do not insert any object inside the colorimeter to clean it, as this will damage it and affect

Shenzhen Linshang Technology Co., Ltd. measurement accuracy and operational safety. 5. Charge the colorimeter in time when the battery is out of power. 6. If not in use over 6 months, charge it regularly to prevent the battery from over-discharge and damage. 7. It’s recommended to calibrate the instrument once each year. And we offer calibration service. 8. Due to the color difference of the LCD screen, the color displayed on the instrument screen is for reference only.
9. For failed calibration, the possible reasons are as below: The bottom cap is not closed properly; The standard tile on the bottom cap needs to clean; The attenuation of the light source leads to failure of normal use and it needs to be returned to the
factory for inspection and repair.
VII. Locating Plate
In order to meet the requirements for precise alignment of some measurement areas, the colorimeter is equipped with a locating plate.
