If the meter is is AUTO-READ mode (meter default), press.If the meter is in continuous read mode, the meter will immediately start taking readings.Record the mV reading and temperature of the sample when “READY” is displayed and “mV” stops blinking.Note: If in AUTO-READ mode and memory storage is enabled, the reading will automatically be stored when the"AR" icon appears. If in continuous read mode and memory storage is enabled, pressto store the readinginto the meter's memory.4. Remove the electrode (and ATC probe, if separate) from the sample, rinse with distilled water, blot dry. To continuetaking measurements repeat steps 2 through 4.5. When finished measuring all samples, store electrode according to electrode instructions.RmV and ORP Calibration1. In the measurement mode, pressto display RmV.2. When the electrode(s) are ready, press.blot dry and place into the standard.Rinse the electrode (and ATC probe, if separate) with distilled water,3. Wait for “READY” to stop flashing. Press4.
