Recalibration is the process of adjusting or correcting a device or procedure to bring it back to its original state. The antonyms for the word "recalibrates" could be "misaligns," "disturbs," "disrupts," or "confuses." Misaligning refers to a situation where a device or procedure is not set up in the correct way, which causes it to malfunction. Disturbing and disrupting are synonymous terms that mean interfering with the normal functioning of a system or process. Confusing means to create uncertainty or a lack of clarity, making it difficult to get accurate readings or results. In general, the opposite of recalibrating would be to make a system or device less precise or accurate than before.
