Soak the sensing tip in either buffer 4, buffer 7, KCL solution or tap water for at least 
30 minutes. Make sure that the sensing tip is immersed up to at least one inch from 
the tip. This procedure should be followed when unit is received or if the   
electrode is allowed to dry out. If unit is properly stored, this procedure is not 
necessary.
CALIBRATION OF THE PHH-1X
pH
After conditioning, the  
 pen must be calibrated in a buffer solution close to the 
value of the sample to be measured. Calibration is performed by turning the 
CALIBRATION TRIMMER   on the reverse side of the tester. The  
Litmustik@ 
designed for single point calibration only.  For accurate measurements, periodic 
recalibration is recommended.
