Notes on mg/l (ppm) mode calibration

During mg/l (ppm) calibration, the meter adjusts to the
barometric pressure value that is programmed into the
meter. It also adjusts to the salinity value that is pro-
grammed into the meter.

You can change the barometric pressure value and
salinity value in the mg/l (ppm) Set Up mode (see
pages 27-28 for directions). 

Whenever an error occurs during calibration, the ERR
indicator appears in the lower left hand corner of the
display.
