Switching the meter on

3.3
Press the ON/OFF key to power up your meter. All
the LCD segments display for a few seconds as the
meter goes through a self-diagnostic test. The LCD
then switches into pH measurement mode.
If the LCD then displays "Ur"., the electrode is
faulty, the temperature sensor is faulty, or there is an
open circuit.
