2.) If necessary, clean the probe with alcohol to
remove any residual oils. Rinse the electrode tip in
de-ionized (or distilled) water and then rinse it in the
calibration standard.

3.) Switch unit on with the ON/OFF key. Place
probe tip into a container of calibration standard.
Take care that the 4 exposed electrodes on the tip
are not touching the side or bottom of the container
holding the buffer solution.  Wait for display to
stabilize (display value is unchanged and stable for 3
seconds).

4.) Pressing either calibration key will put the meter
into CALIBRATION mode. Press the INC or DEC
key to adjust the reading. If a key is held down, the
adjustment will happen more rapidly.

5.) When the EC of the calibration standard is
reached, release the keys for 3 seconds. The
temperature reading will briefly flash “CO”. The
Waterproof EC Tester accepts the calibration value
and returns to MEASUREMENT mode.
