5.0 Mode 1b, Bias menu.
The bias function is used if the moisture reading needs to
be adjusted in line with the reference method. The bias
should only be used if the readings are too high or too
low by a constant amount over a varying moisture range.
Please contact Sinar if in doubt.
The bias menu enables you to independently enter a bias
or offset to each selected crop calibration.

The display shows that calibration number 1, Seeds has
been selected for adjustment. This calibration selection is
made in Mode 0. See Section 2, Selecting a calibration.
All bias values will be factory set to zero on shipment.
By pressing the F1 or F2 keys the required + or – bias
value will be displayed. A positive value will increase the
displayed moisture value, a negative value will reduce it.
Each press of the key increases or decreases the value by
0.1% moisture.
When the correct bias value is displayed, press the Exit
(F4) key to save and return to Mode 1b.
Your bias value for the selected crop has now been
stored and will be applied to all future readings.
