Steps to perform Auto Calibration on the SWIT FM-215HDR:

1. Put the monitor into a dark room. Switch on the monitor.

2. Connect the calibration instrument (compatible with x-rite and JETI color measuring instruments) and monitor via USB. Before calibration, ensure that the monitor and the color calibration instrument are in good condition and the monitor aging time reaches 30 minutes.

3. Enter the “Probe Select” and select the currently used calibration probe.

4. Enter the “Start Calibration” and select “yes” to start calibration. The monitor will display the prompt message and the color position prompt box. Put the sensitive part of the device in the color position prompt box correctly. Note that when placing the calibration instrument; do not squeeze the monitor’ s LCD screen.

5. Select “yes” to begin auto calibration. The color calibration instrument will automatically measure the color of the screen and correct the color of the screen. During this process, it is necessary to observe the color calibration progress bar in the color correction prompt box.

6. Press “INFO” to terminate the color correction process at any time. When the prompt color calibration progress reaches 100%, the whole automatic color calibration is completed. After automatic color correction, press the “INFO” button to exit the menu and let the monitor enter the normal display mode.

7. After the automatic color correction, the display screen pops up “Before Calibration” and “After Calibration”.

The monitor has been calibrated in factory on the SWIT FM-215HDR, and may need to be re-calibrated after a period of time. Before re-calibrated, the measure function can check the current color to compare with the last time calibrated color, to decide if the monitor needs to be re-calibrated. Connect with the sensor probe and place the sensor probe onto the right position like calibration step. Enter “Auto Calibration” – “Measure”. The monitor will generate several colors and finish measure within 30 seconds. And display the result as CIE and Delta E before calibration, CIE and Delta E after calibration, CIE and Delta E from last calibration, and CIE and Delta E from new measured.

The settings available under the “System” menu for the SWIT FM-215HDR are:
