unrecalibrated
Never reset since manufacture
Not recalibrated—still operating on original or previous settings.
The term appears in technical contexts where instruments, models, or systems require periodic adjustment to maintain accuracy: The unrecalibrated sensors drifted further from true readings over time.
Something unrecalibrated may function adequately but risks increasing error or bias.
