System  

The display Contrast and Auto Shutdown can be reconfigured as required. The relative humidity and 

pressure sensors can also be recalibrated. Press the   or   buttons to highlight the appropriate selection, 
and the   or   button to adjust or select.
The Contrast can be adjusted for better visibility depending on the ambient lighting conditions. Press the   

or   button to increase or decrease the contrast from 0 to 20 (0 is lightest, 20 is darkest).
The display can be set to automatically turn off in order to conserve the battery life. Auto Shutdown will 
only occur after the preset time has elapsed without any button presses. Press the   or   button to scroll 

through the Auto Shutdown options (15 minutes, 60 minutes, Off). Battery life will be shortened if the Auto 

Shutdown is turned to Off.   
Baro Cal - 

Recalibration of this sensor is not typically required, and it is not recommended that you recalibrate 

without speaking to an NK technician.

 The pressure sensor can be calibrated if necessary. It is extremely 

important to know the precise altitude and mean sea level barometric pressure at the time of calibrating 

the sensor. First, set the reference altitude on the BARO measurement screen to the known altitude (see 

Pressure Adjustment section for instructions). Then adjust the calibrating setting on the Baro Cal screen to 

the known mean sea level barometric pressure. If recalibration is desired, the unit may also be returned to 

NK for service.   
Humidity Cal - 

Recalibration of this sensor is not typically required, and it is not recommended that you 

recalibrate without speaking to an NK technician.

 The humidity sensor can be calibrated by “teaching” it the 

correct humidity. Some special equipment is required for this calibration, including two hermetically sealed 

containers and saturated salt solutions. NK offers a calibration kit, and instructions are available on  

www.nkhome.com. If recalibration is desired, the unit may also be returned to NK for service.
