SETTINGS and press ; scroll with the arrows to the CALIBRATION
selection and place the probe on the calibration plate supplied, then press

message confirming proper calibration.
In the eventuality that the calibration cannot be completed, a message to
verify the cartridge and/or tip; CHECK TIP / REFILL will be displayed.
The loss of the calibration can be in fact caused by two factors:
- Exhaustion of the electrolyte contained in the refill  see Par 4 – Refill Replace

It is recommended to perform the calibration test after a prolonged storage period.
