FAQs

How do I switch between inches and millimeters?

Press the 'mm/in' button located on the caliper body. The display will instantly switch to the selected unit.

What is the minimum measurement resolution?

The minimum measurement resolution is 0.01mm (or 0.0005 inch and 1/128 inch).

Can this caliper measure depth?

Yes, the caliper is equipped with a depth probe that accurately measures the depth of holes and recesses.

What type of battery does it use?

This caliper typically uses a button cell battery (e.g., LR44 or similar). Please refer to the product packaging or manual for the exact battery type.

How do I clean the digital caliper?

Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For tougher grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty period for this caliper?

Warranty information can vary. Please check the product documentation or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty details.

Can I measure fractional inches directly?

Yes, the caliper allows you to switch to a fractional inch display (e.g., 1/128 inch) for direct reading of fractions.

Troubleshooting

Display shows erratic readings or no reading.

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Clean the slide mechanism and measuring jaws gently. Try resetting the caliper by zeroing it again.

Caliper does not zero properly.

Close the jaws completely and press the 'Zero' button. Ensure there is no debris or obstruction between the jaws. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may need attention.

Unit conversion is not working.

Check that the caliper is powered on and that the unit conversion button is functioning correctly. If the button is stuck or unresponsive, consult the manual or contact support.

Measurements seem inaccurate.

Verify that the jaws are clean and properly aligned. Ensure the caliper is held perpendicular to the surface being measured. Re-zero the instrument on a known flat surface and re-test.
