The indication icon “ ” for tow-point calibration will appear on the lower left corner of LCD. User can choose pH4.00 and pH7.00 to calibrate if the measurement is just within the acidity range and choose pH7.00 and pH10.01 to calibrate if just within the alkalinity range.

(c) User should choose three-point calibration so as to reach a more accurate measurement if the measuring range is wide, or if the electrode has been used for long or has ageing phenomenon. As to the new electrode which be used for the first time, it must be calibrated by three-point calibration to keep the unanimity of the meter slope adjustment with the pH electrode.

4.3. Sample Test:

Immerge pH electrode into the sample solution after washing and dry it, rock the electrode holder and still, when the LCD appears the icon “ ” to take the reading after displaying value to be stable.
