Where a Cal adjustment method has not been specified, use
a 1-point method first. If measuring the included shims on your
surface reveals inaccuracies, use the 2-point method. Factory
Cal settings can be restored at any time by performing a Reset
(pg. 4), creating a NEW Cal setting (See Cal Memory, pg. 4),
or by DELETING the adjustments made to the Cal 1 calibration
setting (pg. 4). The symbol appears on the display
whenever factory Cal settings are in use.
With “FN” Gages, calibration adjustments are made only to
the “F” or “N” mode (stored independently under a particular Cal),
whichever was measured last.
