During charging, the instrument switches on and indicates charging with a “lightning bolt” in the battery icon. The instrument will not power completely off while plugged into the computer USB port, however, it will go into standby mode. This is indicated by a blue pulsing LED.
A full charge from empty will take approximately 6 hours connected to a computer USB port. Alternatively a standard USB charger can be used.
The charging time will not be reduced with a standard USB charger.
A USB charger with at least 500 mA is required. A standard charger with 1 A will not charge any faster.
Battery Icon Information
This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the
battery is fully charged.
This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the
battery has a sufficient charge for a substantial number of measurements.
This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the
battery pack is low, but measurements are still possible. Battery should be charged soon.
The “lightning bolt” in the center of the icon at the top of
the screen indicates the battery is charging.
Battery status is also reported in the Device Information menu item of the Settings window.
5. Measure Button
The measure button (1) is located on the side of the instrument. This is the same button that is used to power on and off the instrument. You can also tap the center of the screen (2) to initiate a measurement.
NOTE: In case of a firmware crash, this button acts as a RESET button. Remove the USB cable, press and hold the button for 10 seconds and then release. The instrument will turn off. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for additional information.

11. Calibration
The instrument must be calibrated on the white tile every 14 days. Measurements with expired calibration are still possible, but with a warning at the beginning of each job.
NOTE: Make sure to use the Calibration reference supplied with the instrument for calibrating. Do not substitute this reference with a reference from another instrument. The serial number of the Calbration reference is shown in the Setting>Calibration screen.
Calibration should be performed at room temperature (23°+/-1°C and 40-60% relative humidity).
The white tile in the calibration reference is severely affected by smudge marks, dust, and finger prints.
Cleaning the Calibration Reference
The white tile in the calibration reference should be cleaned using a mild soap and warm water solution, thoroughly rinsed with warm water, and wiped dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. You must let the reference dry completely before taking a calibration measurement.
Do not move instrument while taking a calibration measurement. If motion is detected by the contact sensors, an error message will be displayed and calibration aborted.
Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from the instrument before performing a calibration.
1. Select the Calibration option from the Settings menu. Note: If
“Calibration expired” message appears, advance to Step 2.
2. Open the Calibration reference and lay it flat.
RapidMatchTMGO Spectrophotometer

3. Position the instrument over the white tile by locating the two pins in the
Calibration reference into the holes in the measurement base. NOTE: The pins are keyed and will only insert in one direction.
4. When ready, tap Calibration and then tap Yes to start calibration. Do
not touch the instrument throughout the measurement sequence.
5. After calibration is completed, remove the instrument from the
calibration reference and close the reference case. NOTE: It is recommended to perform a Self-Test after the Calibration
Refer to the Settings screen.
12. Measurement
IMPORTANT:
To avoid discomfort, do not look directly into the measurement optics when the instrument is on and measuring.
Do not move instrument while taking a sample measurement. If motion is detected by the contact sensors, an error message will be displayed and the measurement aborted.
Measurement performance may decline under certain condensing conditions.
Do not move the instrument on the sample surface with pressure. This may cause scratches to the sample surface.
The Job List is used to measure and delete sample data. The following is a general job measurement procedure.
1. Search for a check area near the repair spot that is as flat as possible
and clean the area.
2. From the Home screen, tap the Job List icon.
3. Select a downloaded job from the list or tap the Add New Job icon at the
top of the screen to start a new job. After selection, the instrument goes into measure mode. NOTE: Downloaded jobs available for measurement do not have a
RapidMatchTMGO Spectrophotometer
15
green checkmark. Downloaded jobs that have a green checkmark have already been completed.
4. Locate the measurement port in the bottom of the instrument over the
first measurement area while viewing the screen (1).
5. Gently rock the instrument until all three positioning indicators (2) in the
screen turn green. This indicates that all three contact sensors are activated.
6. Hold the instrument steady and press the Measure button or tap the
screen to initiate a measurement in case the instrument is configured in Manual Mode. If the instrument is configured in Automatic Mode, the measurement will be triggered as soon as (with a one-second delay) the instrument is correctly positioned on the check zone and all pins are in contact (green indicators on UI). Continue to hold the instrument steady until the progress bar in the screen reaches 100%.
7. Continue with the remaining area measurements to complete the job.
8. After the last measurement is completed, the quality of the
measurement is indicated with a 5 point system. Five points indicates excellent measurement without variation between the readings, 3-4 points indicates good measurement and 1-2 points indicates an
acceptable measurement. Tap the Left (
