[T1M] Blade Setup (Calibration)

The Blade Setup process ensures the markings on the T1M Utility's tape measure blade are accurately aligned with the digital display. This procedure is factory-calibrated but may need to be performed if:

• You replace the tape measure blade.
• A firmware update prompts Blade Setup.
• A Customer Support agent instructs you to do so.

The process is guided on-screen and only takes a few minutes. If you encounter any issues, you can also review our troubleshooting guide here. (add link)

• Automatic Mode: Blade Setup will automatically launch before the T1M Utility can be used, if required.
• Manual Mode: Navigate to the main menu, select "Blade Setup", and follow the prompts.
