5. pH Calibration 5.1 Rinse the probe in pure water and dry it. 5.2 Pour certain amount (about half volume of calibration bottles) of pH7.00 pH and pH 4.00 buffer solutions in separate calibration bottles. 5.3 Long press to enter calibration mode; Short press to exit.
2 to 3 seconds. 6.2 Special notes a) Applications of each model: Model/Probe Application PH60/Bulb probe Most common liquid measurement such as hydroponics, aquaculture, pools and spas, water treatment, cooling towers, etc. Cheese, sushi rice, meat, fruit, bread, soil, solid culture medium PH60S/Spear probe and semi-solid medium measurement;...
c) PH60F Flat probe testers are mostly for flat surface sample test. ■ For skin test: skin should be without sweat or dirt, nor be overly cleaned (do not use facewash products before testing) to avoid affecting measurement results, dampen skin with some distilled water, slightly force flat probe onto the skin, get readings after value stabilized.

7.00pH, slope is 100%), parameter setting return to initial value. This function can be used when instrument does not work properly in calibration or measurement. Calibrate and measure again after recovering the instrument to factory default status. 8. ORP Measurement Refer to Clause 11 to replace OPR probe (to be purchased separately), press key to enter mode.
