It is important that you go through this section for helpful
tips on how to avoid erroneous usage of your PKT and to

Good practical common sense should always be
exercised when using the Gold Karat Tester, to avoid
unnecessary errors. This includes following the Getting
Started procedure closely, ensuring the tester, including
the probe pen and testing platform are clean and free of
other liquids, body oil, dirt and debris. You can do this
easily by cleaning both the probe pen and testing platform
with a clean cloth before every use.
You should also ensure the sample on which you are
testing is clean and free of other liquids, body oil, dirt and
debris. An eraser is provided to help you rub off any stains
or debris on your gold sample before testing and you
should also clean it with a clean cloth.
