Page 7: Reading Stability Display Mode
3.4 Reading Stability Display Mode When the measuring value is stable, smiley icon appears on LCD, see Diagram – 4. If the smiley icon does not appear or flash, please do not get the reading value or make calibration until the measuring value is stable. -
Page 8: Ph Calibration Consideration
4.2 pH Calibration Consideration 4.2.1. Standard buffer solution The meter uses two series of standard buffer solution: USA series and NIST series, 3 solutions for each series which are corresponding to calibration indication icons. Please see Chart - 3 for the two series of standard buffer solution. -

4.4.3. pH temperature principle Please note that the closer the temperature of the sample solution to the calibration solution, the more accurate the readings. 4.4.4. Factory default setting For factory default setting, please refer to parameter setting P1.4 (Item 7.3). All calibration data is deleted and the meter restores to the theory value (zero electric potential of pH is 7.00, the slope is 100%). -

(b) For organic or lipid pollutant, clean the platinum surface with detergent, then wash it in pure water, then submerge it in the soaking solution for 6 hours. (c) For heavily polluted platinum surface on which there is oxidation film, polish the platinum surface with toothpaste, then wash it in pure water, then submerge it in the soaking solution for 6 hours Conductivity Measurement: 6.1 Conductivity Electrode Information... - Page 14 6.2.2. Calibration intervals (a) The meter is calibrated before leaving the factory and can generally be used right out of the box. (b) Normally perform calibration per month. (c) For high accuracy measurements or large temperature deviation from the reference temperature (25°C), perform calibration per week.
