Calibrating the unit
On occasion, your unit may need calibration to maintain accuracy of the copper test functions. For
example, if the test environment changes significantly (such as extreme temperature) and you wish
to maintain the highest accuracy given the new circumstances, perform the self calibration. This
built-in calibration replaces the need for factory calibration.
To calibrate the unit
1 From the main menu, select Copper.
2 Select Calibration.
3 Select Self Calibration.
The SmartClass Triple Play Services performs a self calibration. The self-calibration values
are stored in internal memory.
Press Cancel to return to the Copper Test menu.
