Battery Replacement

Battery life percentage indicator is displayed at power on. If the 

battery level drops below 5%, the   symbol lights up indicating 

that the batteries should be replaced soon.

If the battery level is not adequate to guarantee an accurate reading, 

the tester automatically turns off. 

To replace the batteries, follow the next steps:
1.  Turn OFF the tester.
2.  Remove the four screws on the top of the tester to open the battery 

compartment (figure 1).

3.  Remove the old batteries.
4.  Insert four new 1.5V AA batteries in the battery compartment 

while paying attention to the correct polarity (figure 2).

5.  Close the battery compartment using the four screws.

Note: 

Only use the battery type specified in the manual. Old 

batteries should be disposed in accordance with local regulations.

pH Measurement

Press SET/HOLD to select pH mode. Place 
the electrode in the solution to be tested 
while stirring gently. The measurement 
should be taken after the stability tag   
has disappeared. The pH value is displayed on the first LCD line and 
the temperature on the second LCD line.

Note: 

Before taking any pH measurement make sure the tester 

has been calibrated (“CAL“ tag is displayed).

ORP Measurement

Use SET/HOLD to select ORP mode. Place 
the electrode in the solution to be tested. 
The measurement should be taken after the 
stability tag   has disappeared.
The ORP (mV) value is displayed on the first LCD line and the 
temperature on the second LCD line.

Maintenance

Please read the information below to ensure the highest possible 
accuracy.
• Fresh buffer solution should be used for each calibration.
• For improved accuracy a two-point calibration is recommended.
• If measurements are taken successively, rinse the probe thoroughly  

in distilled or deionized water to eliminate cross-contamination.

• Clean the electrode monthly using pH and ORP cleaning solution. 

Keep the electrode in 

HI700601

 - pH and ORP electrode cleaning 

Solution for 30 minutes and rinse the probe thoroughly with water.

• When not in use, add a few drops of 

HI70300

 Storage solution to 

the protective cap. Never store the probe in distilled or deionized 
water.

Electrode Replacement

Use supplied removal tool (

HI73128

) to replace the pH electrode.

Insert the tool into the 
probe cavity.

Rotate the tool 
counterclockwise.

Pull the electrode out by 
using the other side of 
the tool.

Insert a new pH electrode following the above instructions in reverse 
order.
