Mobile Gold & Platinum Tester
EASY OPERATION GUIDE
The AGT2 MUST be used while following the below
easy steps and recommendaons to get accurate test results.
Before downloading the application, please note the appropriate
system requirements for your particular mobile device:
APPLE: Requires Apple iOS 5.1 or higher.
ANDROID: Requires Honeycomb 3.1 or higher, USB host and/or USB
On-The-Go (“USB OTG”) support, (please check your hardware manufacturer’s
documentation to ensure support for USB host or USB OTG).
STEP 1: AGT2 APP DOWNLOAD AND COMPONENT ASSEMBLY
Turn on your mobile device and download the AGT2 app. After the app has
been downloaded, launch it. Assemble the AGT2 components by attaching
the cables, pen probe and testing plate to the AGT2 micro connection hub
where indicated. The testing plate plugs into the jack labeled TRAY, the pen
probe plugs into the jack labeled PEN and the mobile device plugs into the jack
labeled DEVICE.
STEP 2: CHECK PEN PROBE & ELECTRICALLY CHARGE IT FOR USE
Remove the pen probe cap, then dab the pen probe’s felt tip on a clean, dry
paper towel to clean it and absorb any excess pen probe solution, leaving the
pen probe’s felt tip the consistency of a normal felt tip pen or marker. With new
pen probes, they are typically slightly overfilled to provide maximum usage
and consequently, excess solution will likely come out when the pen probe
is initially used and for a period of time thereafter. Therefore, the need to
continuously dab the pen probe’s felt tip on a clean and dry paper towel
until the level of pen probe solution is reduced to the optimal level will be
required. Be aware that if the pen probe solution drips from an overfilled pen
probe and simultaneously touches both the gold or platinum and the testing
plate it will not work. File a small area on the surface of the calibration piece that

is non-plated 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K or platinum A. Filing the metal is an
important part of calibrating and testing gold as well as platinum, so always
make sure this is done in order to get proper results. Rest the calibration piece
on the testing plate with the filed area facing up. Touch the Test icon on your
screen B. Check that the pen probe is working by holding it upright at an
approximate 90° angle and gently yet firmly touching the very end of the pen
probe’s felt tip to the filed area of the calibration piece Cuntil the reading settles
D, which is typically in 2 to 3 seconds, yet sometimes it may take longer
depending if the pen probe is new or has no charge at all. At this point the pen
probe is charging and note that it is not important where the reading settles
since it has not been calibrated yet. Repeat this process 3 times and wait for the
reading to settle each time. By repeatedly touching the calibration piece it is
electrically charging the pen probe for use, which is a vital part of the start up
process.

STEP 3: CALIBRATION PROCESS
· Always charge the pen probe as described in STEP 2 and calibrate it after each
time it is turned on. Recalibrate it as necessary while in use. It is recommended
to keep the AGT2 turned on throughout the day.
· Use only common 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K or platinum that is non-plated
to calibrate the AGT2. Be aware that 14K yellow gold with a high silver
content above 7% will not provide a proper calibration. Also, gold with an
uncommon mixture of alloys may not provide a proper calibration. Using
the optional AGT2 14K Yellow Gold Calibration Disc is recommended.

APPLE CALIBRATION
· Touch the CALIBRATE icon at the bottom of your screen Eand then choose by
touching the karat of gold or platinum you wish to use Fto calibrate the AGT2.
The AGT2 will then automatically prompt you to touch the very end of the pen
probe’s felt tip to the calibration piece G.
· Lightly yet firmly always only touch the very end of the pen probe’s felt tip to the
filed area on the calibration piece at an approximate 90° angle to the gold H and
wait until the reading stabilizes.
· Once the calibration process has been completed, the screen will then display
Calibration Successful I. You may now remove the pen probe’s felt tip from the
calibration piece.
· Touch the DONE button Jon the screen and your AGT2 is now calibrated and
will return you to the testing screen.
· At various times, the app will show a red indicator light and display Calibration
Required K. By calibrating the AGT2 this indicator will go away.

STEP 4: RE-CHECK READINESS
· Touch the very end of the pen probe’s felt tip to the calibration piece again
to make sure that your calibration piece tests correctly. Your AGT2 is now
calibrated and ready to use.
· If your AGT2 does not test correctly when rechecking, dab the pen probe’s
felt tip on a clean, dry paper towel and repeat STEP 3. Trying an alternate
calibration piece may also resolve the problem.
STEP 5: TESTING GOLD AND PLATINUM
· To test gold and platinum, always first file a small area on the surface of the
metal Qand rest it on the testing plate with the filed area facing up and be
prepared to test that area.
· Touch and hold the very end of the pen probe’s felt tip to the filed area on the
metal Runtil the reading settles. Only touch the very end of the pen probe’s
felt tip to the gold or platinum being tested. BE CERTAIN NOT TO TOUCH
THE SIDE OF THE PEN PROBE’S FELT TIP WHEN TESTING GOLD OR THE
TEST RESULTS WILL RISE TO A HIGHER KARAT THAN IT IS. Due to the
various shapes of jewelry it may be beneficial to hold the jewelry on the testing
plate with your fingers to stabilize it and make certain you are making good
contact with the pen probe’s felt tip and the metal during the test. Depending
on the alloys and percentages of each used to make the specific karat gold,
the test results will vary within the range of that karat. Be aware that platinum
will test as PT or alternate between PT and the NA on the far right of the bar
graph.
· If inconsistent test results are experienced always dab the pen probe’s felt tip
on a clean, dry paper towel and as needed recalibrate the AGT2 while in use.
· Always replace the pen probe’s cap until it snaps on when not in use to avoid
contamination and keep the pen probe’s felt tip from drying out.

GemOro AuRACLE™ AGT2 Mobile Gold & Platinum Tester 20
The PATENTED AGT2 is an accurate tesng device meant for the
purposes of quickly and easily purchasing standard karat gold as well as
planum. It has been designed with the needs of a gold and planum
buyer in mind. Although both the AGT1 and AGT2 are considered the most
accurate electronic testers in their class, they are not meant to be used as
a tool for rigorous scienc assay. There are many alloys used to create
gold jewelry of the various colors (white, yellow, green and red). As the vast
majority of gold being purchased is 10K, 14K and 18K, your AGT2 has been
designed to primarily focus on these ranges, while sll providing reasonably
good, yet at mes inconsistent tesng results in the 22K and to a lesser
degree in the 24K ranges.
As the gold content of a piece of gold moves closer to pure, the presence
of other metals becomes smaller and the electro-chemical reacon has
less contaminants to detect. As such, gold higher than 18K may test
inconsistently among the higher karat ranges. It is important to note that
over 99% of all gold stamped or cast of this quality is marked or stamped
or backed by the mint that has produced it. Coins made of high karat gold
are almost exclusively produced by government mints and there are many
reference sources that one can turn to for their idencaon. From a
praccal perspecve the gold of this purity is easy to idenfy by its rich color
and you will observe that it is very heavy in the hand. All high karat gold will
test with reasonable accuracy above the 18K+ ranges of your AGT2, but it is
best to rely on the visual karat marks, reference sources and common sense.
TROUBLESHOOTING & HELPFUL TIPS
ELECTRICALLY CHARGE THE PEN PROBE, CORRECT FOR
INCONSISTENT READINGS AND RECALIBRATE: Each time the AGT2 is
turned on YOU MUST ELECTRICALLY CHARGE THE PEN PROBE (STEP 2)
PRIOR TO CALIBRATING. The AGT2 must then always be calibrated before
using (STEP 3). It is also necessary to recalibrate the AGT2 as needed and dab
the pen probe’s felt tip on a clean, dry paper towel if inconsistent results are
experienced. Recognize that the chemistry inside the pen probe is constantly
changing over time as it is exposed to gold and other metals, contaminants,
the environment and dirt. By recalibrating the AGT2 periodically and cleaning
the pen probe’s felt tip as needed, this allows the AGT2 to adjust itself to the
chemistry in the pen probe at that time. Since the AGT2 can be calibrated in
only a matter of seconds or the pen probe’s felt tip may be quickly and easily
cleaned if needed, these simple steps should be a regular part of problem
solving and your testing process.
