calibration status at any time. Simply follow the below procedure for
a quick and easy operation.

to be replaced.

OK” message is displayed.

and Calibrate” message is displayed:
1. immerse the probe in the

HI 700661 cleaning solution (or
in one of the available specific
solutions - see “Accessories” section)
for 5 minutes, then rinse it with tap water.

2. immerse again in the HI 50021 check solution and press the

CHECK key.

need calibration.

spare probe handy. When anomalies are not resolved with
simple maintenance, change the probe and recalibrate
the meter.
