3. Preparation before Use 3.1 Pull out the battery insulation slip, and take off the probe cap. 3.2 Rinse off the probe in pure water (preferably distilled or deionized water. RO water or tap water is the alternative) , then shake off excess water. 3.3 Perform at least a 2-point calibration at pH 7.00 and pH 4.00.
4.2 Notes about Calibration a) The 1st point calibration must be 7.00 pH. Perform the 2nd and 3rd point calibrations (4.00, 10.01, 1.68, or 12.45) immediately after the 1st point calibration is finished. Do NOT turn off the meter before you calibrate 2nd or 3rd point. Otherwise, you will need to restart the calibration process with 7.00 pH first.
5.5 Pure Water pH Measurement When testing pure water like tap water, drinking water, RO water or distilled water, it will take longer for the readings to get fully stabilized (typically 1-5 minutes). Please be patient. If still not working, add Apera 3M KCL (AI1107) to your pure water at the ratio of 1:1000 (e.g. 1 ml KCL to 1000 ml water) to accelerate stabilization while minimizing pH change.

1-2 years depending on many factors such as frequency of use, nature of test samples, and how well it is maintained, etc. Apera Instruments recommends replacing the pH probe every 1 to 2 years to guarantee the optimal performance.
14. Battery Replacement Please install batteries according to the following steps. *Please note the correct direction of battery installation: The Positive Side (“+”) OF EVERY SINGLE Battery MUST FACE UP. (WRONG INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TESTER AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS!) ①...
15. Troubleshooting Guide Trouble Reason How to fix When powered on, calibrate pH 7 first, then pH 4. After pH 4 is Incorrect calibration order calibrated, if you want to calibrate pH7 again, you need to power off and restart the tester. Bad standard solutions Replace with a new reliable buffer solution.
