Calibration
IMPORTANT: The calibration reference is dramatically affected by smudge marks and dust, and must
be kept clean. It is recommended that the instrument is cleaned regularly. Refer to the Cleaning
section later in this manual for procedure on cleaning the calibration reference and optics.
When your instrument is first turned on, you are asked to perform a calibration. Thereafter, a
calibration is required every hour or if a 5°C temperature change has occurred. Calibration of the
instrument ensures optimum color matching performance. If desired, a calibration can be manually
initiated by selecting Calibrate from the Settings menu.
The instrument includes an integrated white reference slider that protects the white reference when
not in use.
1. When displayed to do so, move the white reference slider to the closed/calibration position
over the optics.
2. Press Measure to initiate the calibration when the reference slider is positioned. A progress
bar appears at the bottom of the display to indicate the calibration status.
3. After a successful calibration, you are prompted to reposition the slider back to its storage
location before measuring samples.
Note: An error will be displayed if the white reference slider was not in the correct position for
calibration. If this occurs, close the slider and repeat the calibration process. After recalibration
this message continues, refer to Troubleshooting in the Appendices.
If at any time the instrument requests “Repeat Calibration” this is due to exceeding the current
temperature variation tolerance. Please recalibrate by initiating from the Settings menu.

The performance indicator bar displays how close each match is to the actual
measurement. Refer below for additional information on the performance indicator.
Products such as tinted moisturisers are low opacity/coverage. They have a wider tolerance
of acceptance and may have a lower performance indicator.
Performance Indicator
After a match, the instrument displays 1, 2, or 3 colored bars in the title row of the display.
The bars indicate the performance of the match that was obtained. One “red” bar indicates
an ok match, two “yellow” bars indicate a better match, and three “green” bars indicate the
best match. No color bars would indicate no close match was found.
= Best match
= Better match
= Ok match
= No close match
The bars are for informational purpose only. Three “green” bars is the best possible match,
where as one “red” or two “yellow” bars indication basically informs you that instrument
made a suitable match. The fewer color bars on a measurement, the more likely color
differences will be noticed.

Sanitizing the Instrument before Measuring
After sanitizing your hands, carefully sanitize only the aperture area of the CAPSURE Cosmetic
that will touch the customer’s skin using an alcohol wipe. Avoid wiping the optics itself.
Alcohol wipe
Cleaning
The instrument should be stored with calibration slider in the closed position when not in use.
Do not immerse the instrument in liquid, and do not use anything other than a waterdampened cloth for cleaning the exterior.
The measurement optics and calibration plaque should be kept clean from dust and dirt for the
highest level of accuracy.
Cleaning the Optics
The optics are recessed and therefore protected from dirt during normal usage. However, if the
optics require cleaning, follow the procedure below.
IMPORTANT: If can air is used for cleaning, do not invert or tilt the can during use. This could
cause damage to the optics.
1. Carefully place your thumb over the optics opening and rotate the aperture 45°
counterclockwise.
