2. HOW TO CALIBRATE THE MONITOR

17

NOTE

 The suitable modes for the display image are available on the monitor (fine contrast mode).

 When performing the calibration with ColorNavigator, the monitor automatically switches to 

the CAL mode (i.e. Calibration mode). The calibration result is only registered in CAL mode. (The 
result is not registered in other modes.) Use CAL mode for the monitor.

 Once the monitor is calibrated by ColorNavigator, avoid adjusting the monitor image to no 

purpose.  If the monitor image is adjusted after calibration, the calibration result will be lost.

 Do not select the color profile on your OS after the profile is saved, or the calibration result will 

be lost.
