    8  Calibration Procedure 7. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Calibration should be performed daily, before measurements are made, when the battery has been replaced, between a long series of measurements, or if environmental changes have occurred since the last calibration. 1. Press the ON/OFF key, then release. Two instrument test screens will be displayed briefly; all LCD segments followed by the percentage of remaining battery life.

    Measurement Procedures  8. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Verify the instrument has been calibrated before taking measurements. 1. Wipe off prism surface located at the bottom of the sample well. Make sure the prism and sample well are completely dry. 2. Using a plastic pipette, drip sample onto the prism surface. Fill the well completely. Note: If the temperature of the sample differs significantly from the temperature of the instrument, wait approximately 1 minute to allow thermal equilibration.
