Please note: The calibration can be interrupted at any time by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button at the same time.
Caution: Used electrodes which top has been dried completly in the protection cover need to be put in water
over night before the calibration is done. New electrodes need a 14 days run-in period. After that a second
calibration is necessary for precise mesurement.
