This meter will shut off automatically after
20 minutes of inactivity. For operating a
longer period of time, you can disable
the sleep mode.
NOTE: The sleep mode will reset after
every power off.

After re-calibration, checking probe slope
and offset value may help to confirm
While

Before calibration, it is recommended that
you RESET the meter to delete all old
calibration information.

Caibration is necessary and should be done
regularly. It is recommended that this be
done everyday if the meter is used often.
The unique calibration design of the meter
features automatic buffer recognition to
avoid errors.
It is recommended to
calibrate pH7 first and then 4 or 10pH
for better accuracy result.

-pH3.00~5.00
-pH6.00~8.00
-pH8.50~10.50
The acceptable pH buffer range:
6. If the probe successfully
recognizes the buffer, the
buffer pH value and “CAL”
will stop flashing.
If your calibration buffer is not NIST,
press " " or “ “ to
3.00 to 5.00,
6.00 to 8.00, 8.50 to 10.50.
adjust the
calibrating point to the corresponding
buffer value of specific temperature. The
adjustable range is :
5. If the probe is damaged or the buffer is
not specified as following, the primary
LCD will keep flashing unless you escape
by turning off the meter.

8. Wait for 30 seconds, the meter completes
the calibration automatically if the reading
is stable enough.
9. Rinse the probe with de-ionized water
or a rinse solution (tap water...) after
calibration. Repeat step 3 ~ 8 to do
multiple point calibration or exit by turning
off the meter.

It is recommended to change the
probe when:
a
Step 1: Loosen the washer

to lengthen pH electrode life.
1) Make sure the duration of
pressing the power key is
more than 0.3 sec.
2) Make sure the batteries
are in place and make good
contact and correct polarity.
3) Remove batteries for one
minute and reinstall again.

The reading is constant
5) Move to another room and try again.
Solution: Power on meter four times,

Solution: Power on meter four times,
Check whether the reading is on HOLD
