accuracy.
1. While the meter is powered off, press and hold the button
while turning the meter on.
2. Release both buttons when "CAL" and a ashing number
appear on the display indicating that the meter is now in
self-calibration mode.
3. Use the button and the button to adjust error value. The
adjustment range is -9 to 9mm.
For example, if the meter appears to be measuring 2mm lower
than the actual distance, press the to increase the calibration
value by 2mm. If the meter appears to be measuring 3mm above
the actual distance, press the button to decrease the calibration
value by 3mm.
4. Press the button to save the set calibration result and resume
