for baling.

CARE OF YOUR METER

To keep your meter in good working order:

h

Store your meter in a clean, dry place. The optional

protective carrying case is an ideal storage place when
the meter is not in use.

h

Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a

low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration.

h

Clean the meter and probe with any biodegradable cleaner.

Use the cleaner sparingly and on external parts only. 

Do

not immerse the meter or any prod in water.

h

Remove the battery if the meter will not be used for one

month or longer.
