The meter features a low battery indicator. When 
the battery is running low, the tag will blink on 
screen. When the battery has been depleted, 
“Erb” will appear on screen and the meter will 
turn off.

Place meter in calibration mode. Press and hold 
ON/OFF until “CLr” is displayed. The meter will 
now be at default calibration.

From measurement mode, press and hold the  
ON/OFF button. The meter will cycle through 
“OFF,” “CAL,” then current auto-off setting.

The default setting is 8 minutes (“d08”). Press 
ON/OFF button to change. “d60” is auto-off after 
60 minutes, and “d--” disables the auto-off

Care and Maintenance

To obtain the highest accuracy for measurements it is important to follow these tips:

•  Calibration is only as good as the buffer being used. The pH buffer values change over 

time once the sachets are opened. Fresh buffer should be used for each calibration.

•  The probe should be rinsed with purified water each time before placing in buffer or 

sample to be tested.

•  When the meter is not in use it is important to add several drops of storage solution 

to the protective cap to keep the probe hydrated. If storage solution is not available, 
pH 4.01 or pH 7.01 buffer can be used.

•  For improved accuracy it is recommended to calibrate in two buffers.
•  It is important to calibrate and measure samples at the same temperature. A dramatic 

change in temperature between buffer solutions and samples to be tested will give 
inaccurate readings

.

•  If fouled, clean the electrode by soaking in cleaning solution for 20 minutes, then 

rinse the tip and soak in storage solution at least 30 minutes before use. Recalibrate 
after each cleaning.

In calibration mode, if the meter displays an 
“Err” message when in the correct fresh buffer 
solution then the probe should be cleaned.  
Place the probe in the

 HI700640 

cleaning 

solution for 20 minutes. Rinse with purified water 
and place in storage solution for a minimum of 
30 minutes before calibrating.
