• Always remove the electrode protective cap before taking any
measurements. If the electrode has been left dry, soak the tip
in HI 70300 storage solution for half an hour to reactivate it.

• The LCD will show all the used segments for a few seconds and
then enters the normal measurement mode.
• Submerge the probe tip (at least 4cm/
1½") into the sample to be tested.

To take pH measurements press the
SET/HOLD button to select the pH range.
Stir briefly and wait for the reading to
stabilize.

• The display will show the pH value automatically compensated
for temperature variations.
Note: In order to take accurate pH measurements, make sure
the instrument has been calibrated before use.
Note: If measurements are taken in different samples succes-
sively, it is recommended to rinse the electrode thoroughly
to avoid cross-contamination. After cleaning, rinse the
electrode with some of the sample to be measured.

calibration point is stored and the meter returns to the
measurement mode. Otherwise, if a different buffer was
used, the meter will automatically return to normal mode.

Recommendations for Users
Before using this product, make sure that it is entirely suitable for the environment in which
they are used.
Operation of this instrument in residential area could cause unacceptable interferences to
radio and TV equipments, requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct
interferences.
The glass bulb at the end of the electrode is sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Avoid touching
this glass bulb at all time. During calibration of instruments, ESD wrist straps should be worn to
avoid possible damage to the electrode by electrostatic discharge.
Any variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instrument's EMC
performance.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use these instruments when voltages at the measurement surface
exceed 24 Vac or 60 Vdc.
To avoid damages or burns, do not perform any measurement in microwave ovens.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the battery becomes weak, the
battery symbol on the LCD will light up
and, at startup, the meter displays the
“Eb” message for a few seconds.
When the low battery indicator appears, only a few hours of
battery life is remaining. It is recommended to replace the
battery immediately.
The meter is also provided with BEPS (Battery Error Prevent-
ing System), which avoids any erroneous reading due to low
battery level by warning the user with the “Eb” message on
the LCD and switching the meter off when the battery is
completely rundown.
Remove the cover on the back of the
meter and replace the battery with a
new one, while paying attention to its
polarity.
Replacement must only take place in a
nonhazardous area using an alkaline
9V battery.
