English term or phrase: readied
I am translating a user manual for a dog's nail clipper. I have this sentence:

“When the unit has self-calibrated (the sensor has readied itself), the YELLOW light will turn off and only the RED light will remain on.”

I still do not grasp the meaning of "readied". I am inclining to thing it is a typo, but I might be wrong. I will greatly appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks a lot,

Ana

se ha puesto listo


Explanation:
"to ready" es igual como "to make ready" ... en este caso se refiere a que el sensor tarda un ratito en completar el paso de la calibración.

quería decir, "when the sensor has readied itself" = "cuando el sensor se ha puesto listo"
