  Richard HollandAug 13, 2025
  If you are getting abnormal measurement results with your Konica Minolta Test Equipment, ensure the specimen is securely placed to prevent light leakage. Also, verify that you're using the correct calibration data, especially for user calibration or Petri Dish measurements, using the optional software. Confirm the calibration plate matches the input data before performing white calibration. It is also important to ensure that zero calibration was performed correctly, using the optional Zero Calibration Box.

Why does measurement data disappear on my Konica Minolta Test Equipment?
- F
  Frank ClarkAug 25, 2025
  If measurement data or settings are not held in memory and disappear immediately on your Konica Minolta Test Equipment, the instrument’s backup battery may be low, especially after purchase or prolonged non-use. Turn the instrument ON to charge the backup battery; it can be fully charged in 72 hours. If the issue persists after charging, the battery may need replacement by a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
