To reset the Apera Instruments Series meter and remove the "M" sign so you can recalibrate with pH 4.00 after pH 7.00, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the meter.
2. Reset the meter to factory default settings:
- Long press the power button to enter parameter settings.
- Short press to navigate to P8 (Factory default setting).
- Select "Yes" to reset.
3. Reboot the meter.
4. Start calibration again:
- Calibrate first with pH 7.00.
- Then immediately calibrate with pH 4.00 without turning off the meter.

Turning off the meter between calibrations will require starting over from pH 7.00.
