local Hanna Instruments Office.
Each meter is supplied with:

• CR2032 battery 

• Storage / Protection sleeve

• Instruction manual
• Quality Certificate

Note: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrument functions 

correctly. All defective items must be returned in the original packaging with the 

supplied accessories.

Operational guide

To turn the meter ON

 

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter on. At start-up, all the LCD segments are dis-

played for 1 second, then the percent indication of the remaining battery life is displayed 

for another second. The meter then enters the normal measuring mode.

Note: Keeping the ON/OFF button pressed while turning the meter on will display all 

LCD segments as long as the button is pressed.

To enter calibration mode

 

Press the CAL button. “CAL“ message is displayed.

To enter setup mode

While in measurement mode, remove the battery cover and press the button inside the 

battery compartment.

Hanna Instruments reserves the right to modify the design, construction, or 

appearance of its products without advance notice.

• If using pH 7.01, after acceptance of the buffer press CAL button to exit. “Stor” 

message is displayed and meter returns to pH measurement mode.

• If using pH 4.01 or pH 10.01 buffer the “Stor“ message is displayed and meter 

returns to pH measurement mode.

• The “CAL“ tag will be shown in measurement mode with the calibrated buffer 

tag next to it.

pH Measurement and Calibration

• Make sure the meter has been calibrated before use.
• If the electrode is dry, soak it in 

HI70300

 storage solution for 30 minutes to reactivate 

it.

• Submerge the electrode in the sample to be tested while stirring it gently. Wait until 

the Stability Indicator on the LCD disappears.

• The LCD displays the pH value (automatically compensated for temperature) on the 

primary LCD, while the secondary LCD displays the sample temperature.

• If measurements are taken in different samples successively, rinse the electrode tip 

thoroughly to eliminate cross-contamination. After cleaning, rinse the electrode tip 

with some deionized water and some of the sample to be measured.

pH calibration

• Enter calibration mode while in pH measurement mode.
• Place the electrode into the first calibration buffer. If performing a two-point  

calibration, use pH 7.01 buffer first.

• The meter will enter the calibration mode, displaying “pH 7.01 USE”.

Single-point calibration

• Place the electrode in buffer pH 7.01, 4.01 or 10.01 buffer. The meter will automatically 

recognize the buffer value.

• If the buffer is recognized “REC“ is displayed until the reading is stable and the 

calibration is accepted.

• If the buffer is not recognized, the pH electrode is not immersed in solution, or the 

reading is out of the accepted range “---- Err“ is displayed.

Preparation

The pH electrode is shipped dry. Before using the pH electrode, remove the protective 

cap and condition the electrode by soaking the tip (bottom 3 cm (1.18”)) in 

HI70300

 

storage solution or in pH 7.01 buffer solution for several hours. Then follow the 

calibration procedure:

•  Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This is normal with pH 

electrodes and they dissolve when rinsed with water.

•  Turn the pH electrode on by pressing ON/OFF button.
•  Remove the protective cap and immerse the tip of the electrode in the sample 

to be tested.

•  Stir gently and wait for the stability tag to disappear.
•  For best results, recalibrate periodically.
•  After use, rinse the electrode with water and store it with a few drops of HI70300 

storage solution or pH 4.01 or pH 7.01 buffer solution in the protective cap.

•  Always put back the protective cap after each use.

DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.

•  Large differences in pH readings (±1.0 pH) could result from lack of calibration 

or dry electrode.

Note: The electrode tip should be rinsed with purified water (reverse osmosis, distilled, 

or deionized) before and after placing in any solution (buffer, storage or sample).

• Electrode cleaning solution sachet

• pH 4.01 buffer solution sachet

• pH 7.01 buffer solution sachet (2 pcs.)

The default settings are: “Set t” measure unit - °C, “AOFF” - 8 min. After the last 

setting, it will exit Setup.

To select the temperature unit (°C/°F)

To select the measurement unit when “Set t” is displayed press the CAL button to 

change between °C or °F.

To select the Auto-Off time

To select AOFF TIME unit when “AOFF” is displayed press the CAL button to change 

between 8 min, 60 min or --- (disabled).

To return to measurement mode

Press ON/OFF button to exit the menu.

Meter Setup

While in measurement mode, remove the battery cover. Press the Setup button located 

on the side of the battery in the battery compartment. The meter will enter in setup 

mode. Press the ON/OFF button to move through setup parameters. Press the CAL 

button to change the settings. 

Recommendations for Users

Recommended

Immersion 

Level

Before using Hanna Instruments products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for 
your specific application and for the environment in which they are used. Any variation 
introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the meter's performance. 
Avoid touching the electrode area. To avoid damages or burns, do not put the meter 
in microwave oven. For yours and the meter's safety do not use or store the meter in 
hazardous environments.
