*Hello,*
Since I am a newbie here, I don't know if comments posted at specific EEWEB pages ever get responses, so I'm playing it safe by posting a copy of it here.
Thank you for your help -- and remember, I'm NOT an electrical engineer (it's the only 1-of-2 choices available when I registered here
N.B.: I attached a copy of the image mentioned and linked below in the correspondence to the company of this product since one can do so here. The front of the unit looks 99.99% identical to the one featured in the directly below linked page here at this site.

*Hello,*
Below is a copy of what I sent to one company that makes this model (but to which I may or may not have any response). I'm not an electrical engineer, just a DIY guy who can read a motorcycle electrical diagram but am stumped on how to solve the problem I have.
Hopefully the below is self-explanatory and I hope you can give me some basics so that I can adjust the VR1 and VR2 to match what my Craftsman multi/voltimeter shows. At the time of the below provided photo of the back of this LCD panel, I had not seen the stamped "VR1" and "VR2" words next to the 2 respective adjusters.
I simply need to know what to do with each one respectively so that when the battery is topped off/full (about 13.10v) and when needing to be re-charged (about 12.65v or so) it is as accurate as a voltmeter.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
~ Philip Knight

*Hello,*
I purchased an LCD panel manufactured by you -- TY3150-DV. This is for use on a motorcycle to check the 12v battery and the usual range needed is from =/- 12.30v -> =/- 14.50v.
Perhaps one is for the high end voltage, the other for low end -- but I simply do not know for I have never used this kind of adjustment (the older LED type panel I have only had one screw that was at the top of a small plastic rectangle box on the circuit board).
Could you please send instruction on how to use these two screws to accurately calibrate this LCD panel?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
