It\u2019s best to work in a dimly lit environment, especially for color-critical work.<\/li>\n<li>Reset your monitor controls to their factory default settings.<\/li>\n<li>Deactivate any Auto Brightness or HDR mode settings before you start calibrating. These are examples of dynamic functions that affect your display. Calibration requires a static display for accurate measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725972786678{padding-right: 32px !important;padding-left: 32px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Quick Start Guide<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Download and Install Software<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Watch Video&#8221; style=&#8221;classic&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725540547798{margin-top: 8px !important;margin-left: 16px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FoQNpOso07sM|target:_blank&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Plug in your device to launch software<\/li>\n<li>Begin activation\/registration process (See the software serial number inside box beneath device)<\/li>\n<li>Calibrate (See step-by-step instructions below)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Watch Video&#8221; style=&#8221;classic&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725524559566{margin-top: 8px !important;margin-left: 16px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FsJ-S2TS4R9A|target:_blank&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1682343562567{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Spyder Software Download<\/h2>\n<p>Review the <a href=\"https:\/\/spyderx.datacolor.com\/datacolor-spyder-software-license\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Datacolor Software License<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>All Spyder products include a \u201cSite License\u201d, for a single owner.

The lens cap slides along the attached USB cable to be used as a counterweight to keep the Spyder sensor in place on your screen. The device should sit flush on the monitor under its own weight, do not hold it against the screen with your hand.
