DISCLAIMER

Dear User!

Wide range of functions requires careful reading of the manual, in other
case some of the features may stay unused or using the meter may be
troublesome.

Using electrodes and cells of good quality and replacing them after a suitable
time provides obtaining high measuring accuracy. It is worth remembering that
electrodes have much shorter life time than the meter. 
Clean   membrane   is   the   main   condition   of   correct   readings.   After   each
measurement the membrane should be rinsed with distilled water. Oil, pastes,
grease, etc., should be removed according to the instructions provided in the
electrode’s manual.

We wish a pleasant and trouble-free work with our meter.
