The SoilStik is shipped with an electrode attached.
Electrode life is limited and is dependent on (among
other factors) frequency of use and care. If the elec-
trode needs to be replaced, follow these steps for re-
moving and connecting electrodes.
1. To remove an electrode, unscrew and completely
remove the electrode retaining collar.
2. Gently rock the electrode from side to side, pulling it
away from the meter, until it disconnects.
3. To attach an electrode, carefully plug the electrode
into the meter socket (note that the electrode connector
is keyed, ensuring proper connection).
4. Secure the electrode in place by tightly turning the
collar in place. (a rubber gasket seals the electrode
with the meter).

Note: If the batteries are removed or go dead, any
stored readings will be lost.
