a. General Operation
• Remove the bottom and the inner cap to expose the electrode. It is normal
to find some whitish crystals on the inner cap and electrode. Keep the
sponge in the cap wet to keep the electrode in a good storage
condition.
• Dip the electrode into the test solution. Press PWR and stir the pH meter to
get a stable reading.
• A small dot will be flashing while the meter is in measuring mode. The temperature (in °C or °F) will also be
displayed.
• Press HLD to freeze the current reading. Note that the dot will stop flashing. Press HLD again to release
the reading.
• Turn off the meter by pressing PWR. Cover the electrode with the cap and store the meter at an ambient
temperature between 0°C ~ 50°C (32°F ~ 122°F). Refer to "d. Calibrating your Meter" to perform the 3-
points calibration.
