If the manual lensmeter is in correct calibration, the mires without a lens in place will become clear at:

Explanation:
When a manual lensmeter is properly calibrated, removing the lens leaves the optical system with zero refractive power. That means the mires will be in focus and appear clear at zero diopters. With no lens in place you’re effectively testing the instrument at zero power, so the clear view confirms correct calibration. The other diopter settings (2, 5, 10) would only produce a clear image if a lens of that power were present; without any lens, those powers don’t apply, so the mires won’t be forced to a clear focus at those values.
