Before You Begin
Your monitor should be turned on for at least 30 minutes before you begin the calibration process. Make sure that no direct light is falling on your display.
Reset the monitor controls to the factory default settings, if available. Please deactivate any Auto Brightness features on your monitor.
Installation Instructions
Step 1 – Install and Activate
Install the Spyder software from the Datacolor
Website. After the installation is
complete, plug in your Spyder and launch the software to begin the activation
and registration process. This will automatically start your Warranty.
Use the Serial Number included in your Spyder package to activate your
software.
Step 2 – Prepare for Calibration
Ensure your Spyder is plugged into a powered USB port on your computer before
you launch the Spyder application. Follow the step-by-step on-screen
instructions. Remove the lens cap from the Spyder colorimeter.
Hang the Spyder unit over your display when asked, using the lens cap, which slides on the USB cable, as a counterweight to keep it in place. If necessary, angle your display back to keep the Spyder flat against your screen.
Step 3 – Calibrate
The Spyder software will walk you through the calibration process and create a
custom display profile, which your operating system and color managed
applications will use to correct your displayed colors. Click ‘Help’ in the
bottom left corner of the screen to help with any feature of the software. You
may also refer to the User Guide or Calibration video for assistance with
calibration.
