    This is so that long term drift on the sensors and electronics can be eliminated. Local regulation may require more frequent re-calibration and users should check with appropriate authorities to ensure they comply with relevant guidelines. KM9106 Operators Manual...
  • Page 55: How To Get Expert Help

    There will be occasions when despite having read the manual there will be problems that you cannot resolve and so you need external help. Before calling Kane International or one of its International Distributors please first check the following: Find the serial number of the instrument. It is located on the label close to where the charger and handset leads plug into the analyser.
