Press the CAL button
to enter the Calibrate
(CA) mode.
The display will
flash "CA" and
then a pH value
close to the buffer
value will flash
repeatedly.
After about 30 seconds,
press the HOLD/CON
button to confirm the
calibration.
"CON" will
appear on the
display. It will
then switch back
to a pH reading of
the buffer.

Dip 1/2" to 1" of the
electrode into a pH 7.0
buffer for general purpose
use, into a pH 4.0 buffer
solution if testing acidic
solutions, or a pH 10.0
No further calibration is needed if
all measurements are expected to
be between pH 6 and pH 8 for
general purpose use. Perform the
calibration using pH 4.0 buffer if
readings below pH 6 are expected.
Perform the calibration using pH
10.0 buffer if readings above pH 8
are expected.
