Please check the preparation of the zero cuvette.
Inverted cuvettes: The sample and the zero cuvette are inverted.
Under range: A blinking “200” indicates that the reading is under
range.
Over Range: A blinking value of the maximum concentration indicates
the reading is over range. Dilute the sample and re-run the test.
Battery low: The battery must be replaced soon.
Dead battery: This indicates that the battery is dead and must be

•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 Reagent A to the cuvette using
the syringe with the white plunger. Use the
dropper 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, close the lid
and press the button. When the display shows
“Add”, “C.2” with “Press” blinking the meter
is zeroed.
•Remove the cuvette from the meter and
unscrew the cap. Add 0.1 mL of sample to the
cuvette using the syringe with the green
plunger.
Note: For improved accuracy fill the syringe to
the 1 mL mark and dispense 0.1 mL by
lowering the plunger to the 0.9 mL mark.
•Add 1 packet of 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 lid. Press the button. The meter
displays concentration in ppm of calcium.
The meter automatically turns off after 10
minutes.

•It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.
•Whenever the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must bedry outside,
and completely free of fingerprints, oil and dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318
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.
