HI758 is warranted for a period of one year after date of purchase against defects in
workmanship and materials when used for their intended purpose and maintained according
to instructions. This warranty is limited to repair or replacement free of charge. Damage due
to accidents, misuse, tampering or lack of prescribed maintenance is not covered. If service
is required, contact your local Hanna Instruments Office. If under warranty, report the model
number, date of purchase, serial number and the nature of the problem. If the repair is not
covered by the warranty, you will be notified of the charges incurred. If the instrument is to
be returned to Hanna Instruments, first obtain a Return Goods Authorization number from the
Technical Service department and then send it with shipping costs prepaid. When shipping any
instrument, make sure it is properly packed for complete protection.
Before using Hanna Instruments products, make sure that they are entirely suitable for

these instruments may cause unacceptable interferences to other electronic equipment,
thus requiring the operator to take all necessary steps to correct such interferences. Any
variation introduced by the user to the supplied equipment may degrade the instrument’s
EMC performance. To avoid damages or burns, do not put the instrument in microwave
oven. For yours and the instrument safety do not use or store the instrument in hazardous
environments.
Recommendations for Users
Warranty
To conserve battery, the instrument shuts down after
10 minutes of non-use and 2 minutes after reading. One fresh battery
lasts for a minimum of 5000 measurements. When the battery is
dead the instrument will display “bAd” then “bAt” for 1 second
and then turns off. To replace the battery, turn the instrument off
by holding the button until the meter shuts off. Turn the instrument
upside down and remove the battery cover with a screwdriver.
Remove the battery from its location and replace it with a new one,
inserting the negative end first. Replace the battery cover and screw.
It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be
dry outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil and dirt. Wipe it
thoroughly with HI731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings.
To obtain accurate measurements, remove bubbles by swirling or by
gently tapping the cuvette. Do not let the reacted sample stand for
too long after reagent is added, as accuracy will be affected. After the
reading, it is important to immediately discard the sample, otherwise
the glass might become permanently stained.

Under Range: A blinking “200” indicates that the reading is under
range.

the reading is over range. Dilute the sample and re-run the test.
Inverted Cuvette: The sample and the zero cuvette are inverted.
Low Battery: The battery is low and must be replaced soon.
Dead Battery: The battery is dead and must be replaced. Once this
indication is displayed, normal operation of the instrument will be
interrupted. Change the battery and restart the meter.
Light High: There is too much light to perform a measurement. Please
check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
Light Low: There is not enough light to perform a measurement.
Please check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
Please examine this product carefully. Make sure that the instrument is not damaged. If

• Turn the meter on by pressing the button.
All segments will be displayed. When the
display shows “Add”, “C.1” with “Press”
blinking, the meter is ready.
• Add 1 mL of HI7581 Reagent A to the
cuvette using the 1 mL syringe. Use
the plastic pipette to fill the cuvette
to the 10 mL mark with deionized
water and replace the cap. Invert
3-5 times to mix.
• Place the cuvette into the meter and close
the meter’s cap. Press the button. When the
display shows “Add”, “C2” with “Press”
blinking the meter is zeroed.
• Remove the cuvette from the meter and
unscrew the cap. Use the minipipette to
add 0.1 mL of sample to the cuvette.
• Add 1 packet of HI7582 Reagent B.
Replace the cap and shake vigorously for
15 seconds or until the powder is completely
dissolved. Allow air bubbles to dissipate for
15 seconds before taking a reading.
• Place the cuvette back into the meter and
close the meter’s cap. Press the button.
The meter displays concentration in ppm
of calcium. The meter automatically turns
off after 2 minutes.
