6. HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR COLOR STAR?
If you hear loud siren-like noises, be sure to recharge your battery (see
also chapter three „charging the battery“).
In case the device is not functioning, connect the device to the pendrive-
charger (included in the package content) for at least an hour. Then try
switching Color Star on again.
If there is no reaction, take a sharp object
– as for example the wire of an
ordinary paper clip. Introduce the wire into the small (1 mm) reset hole on
the lower narrow side of the device and press briefly.
If you hear the startup melody, Color Star is now ready for use again. If
this reset measure does not function, the device needs to be repaired. To
do so, please get in touch with the manufacturer.
Please note that the color measurement depends on the texture of the
object that you wish to examine. A rough knitted sweater can seem darker
than it is.
In addition, if you are measuring a translucent textile (as is the case with
a rough knit) the underground surface can show through and thus distort
the result. We recommend you fold the fabric several times, smooth it out
and then push the fabric against the measuring sensor with your finger
(from behind the fabric). Then examine the textile again.
