Is there any way to calibrate this unit?

I take mine with me to my doctor's office when I have my check-ups. This unit has always been spot on with theirs. I highly recommend this unit. My doctor likes it as well.

Yes it can be calibrated with a wrench on the back side of the dial.. Hope that helps you.

I guess by using a known value, like the calibrations buffers, 4.0 or 7.0. It's like using a calibrated weight to check a scale

I don't think so. I know you have to calibrate it yourself but it's very easy.

There is no way to calibrate the compass. I have had a Type S for over a year & have made repeated attempts, following the instructions to calibrate. To no avail. You'll have to live with it being about 15 degrees off.

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

The only calibration I have seen happens during each power-on. The directions ask for a vial of clear pool water and it self calibrates.

There is a button that has light written on it. Do not see anywhere to calibrate the compass. Directions are not close to being correct.

get some calibration solution and then dip the meter in it, hit the calibrate button then use it after it says saved

They only give you enough for a one time calibration. You will need to buy the appropriate storage solution. A little goes a long way.

I am sorry but I don't have a way to really test the accuracy, and I don't have anything to even use it in the reverse direction. Also, it would probably cost me more to get it calibrated than I paid for the wrench.

No, There is no way to calabrate it. Inorder to do so you would need a series of know control set temperetures and away to adjust the thermometer. I am sure this is done at the factory. hope this answered your question.

I never calibrated and just started using it. I took several packages to the post office and everything checked out perfectly. They explain how to calibrate it in the manual.

There is no "calibration" procedure for this unit (at lease not one listed in the manual). I suppose one might measure a known quantity of distilled water at a specific temperature and see how accurately the unit measures that calculated weight.

I have never tried calibrating it with a thermometer close by but it seems to work well cycling my electric heaters on the ceiling. I have two of them and they they both work fine. Would buy them again.

Nothing in the directions indicates that you can calibrate this unit other than to check it against another thermometer that is known to be correct.
