following the procedure below**
1. Turn off the meter, plug the meter probe into 32.8% salt bottle and
press “ON/OFF+F/C” key more than one second to turn on the
NOTES:
meter and enter Calibration mode.
2. You will see 3x.x% display on the LCD, after 60 minutes the
flashing stops to indicate the finish of “3x.x%” calibration (with
saving)
3. Move the meter probe to 75.3% and press “MN/MX” key more than
one second to enter 7x.x% calibration.

You can exit calibration
without saving by
pressing “ON/OFF” key
Auto power off is disabled
in calibration mode.
For best accuracy results
the calibration should be
done in an environments
temperature of 23+2°C
If the reading difference is
not within 0.3% after
calibration , it means the
calibration is failed
