After the acoustic calibration, the 

electric calibration 

will be automatically started. This 

stage of the procedure generates the reference data for the following electrical calibrations.

At the end, if the values of the electrical calibration are acceptable, press YES to confirm the 
new calibration (LEFT arrow of the keypad); press NO if you want to cancel the whole cali-
