GENERAL OPERA

TIONS

5.2.  CONNECTING THE ELECTRODE

Connect the pH/temperature electrode to the DIN connector. The protective micro USB cover should be 
placed into the socket when the meter is not connected to a computer to ensure waterproof protection.

5.3.  TURNING THE METER ON

Turn the instrument on by pressing 

ON/OFF

 key. At start-up the display will show the Hanna 

Instruments logo.

5.4.  SELECTING MEASUREMENT MODE & RANGE

Press the 

MODE

 key while in measurement mode to change the measurement resolution. Press the 

RANGE

 key while in measurement mode to cycle between pH and mV. 

5.5.  CONTEXTUAL HELP

HI98169

 offers an interactive contextual help mode that assists the user at any time.

To access the help screen press 

HELP

 key. The instrument will display additional information related
