Measurement procedure:
5•Replace the cap to the cuvette, and shake
gently a couple of times.
6• Place the cuvette with the reacted deionized
water (blank) into the cuvette holder and
ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
7• Press and hold READ/ /TIMER for three
seconds. The display will show the countdown
prior to measurement. The beeper is playing
a beep at the end of countdown period.
Alternatively, wait for two minutes.
8• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
Wait for a few seconds and the display will
show "-0.0-". Now the meter is zeroed
and ready for measurement.
9• Remove the blank from the instrument.
10•Remove the cap from the cuvette and
discard the blank.
11•Rinse the cuvette a couple of times with
the unreacted sample and discard it.
Turn upside down the empty cuvette and
shake it to remove excess of liquid.
12•Fill the same cuvette with 10 mL of
unreacted sample.
For most accurate results, use of another
clean class A laboratory pipette is strongly
recommended (see “Accessories”).
Alternatively, fill the cuvette up to the 10 mL
mark.
13•Add 2 mL of HI 93729-0 Fluoride Reagent
to the cuvette by use of the 2000 µL
automatic pipette.
14•Replace the cap to the cuvette, and shake
gently a couple of times.
15•Place the cuvette with the reacted sample into
the cuvette holder and ensure that the notch
on the cap is positioned securely into the
groove.
16•Press and hold READ/ /TIMER for three
seconds. The display will show the countdown
prior to measurement. The beeper is playing
a beep at the end of countdown period.
Alternatively, wait for two minutes and
just press READ/ /TIMER.In both cases,
the lamp, cuvette and detector icons will
appear on the display, depending on the
measurement phase.
17•The instrument directly displays concentration
in mg/L (ppm) of fluoride on the LCD.
Note: For wastewater or seawater samples, be-
fore performing measurements, distillation
is required.

OTHER ERRORS AND WARNINGS:
Cooling lamp: The instrument waits for the
lamp to cool down.
Battery low: The battery must be replaced
soon.
Dead battery: This indicates that the battery
is dead and must be replaced. Once this
indication is displayed, the meter will lock up.
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.
No Light:The instrument cannot adjust the
light level. Please check that the sample does
not contain any debris.
Inverted cuvettes: The sample and the zero
cuvette are inverted.
Zero: A zero reading was not taken. Follow the
instructions of the measurement procedure for
zeroing the meter.
Under range: A blinking “0.00” indicates that
the sample absorbs less light than the zero
reference. Check the procedure and make sure
you use the same cuvette for reference (zero)
and measurement.
1•Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2•When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
The blinking “ZERO” indicates that the
instrument needs to be zeroed first.
3•Fill one cuvette with 10 mL of deionized
water. For most accurate results, use of a
class A laboratory pipette is strongly
recommended. Alternatively, fill the cuvette
up to the 10 mL mark.
4•Add 2 mL of HI 93729-0 Fluoride Reagent
to the cuvette by use of the 2000 µL
automatic pipette (see “Accessories”).

Last
Calibration
Date
To save battery, the instrument shuts down after 10 minutes of non-use
in measurement mode and after 1 hour of non-use in calibration mode.
If a valid measurement was displayed before
auto shut off, the value is displayed when the
instrument is switched on. The blinking “ZERO”
means that a new zero has to be performed.
One fresh battery lasts for around 750 measurements, depending on the
light level.
The remaining battery capacity is evaluated at the instrument startup
and after each measurement.
The instrument displays a battery indicator with three levels as follows:
• 3 lines for 100 % capacity
• 2 lines for 66 % capacity
• 1 line for 33 % capacity
• Battery icon blinking if the capacity is under 10 %.
If the battery is empty and accurate measurements can’t be taken
anymore, the instrument shows “dead battdead batt
dead battdead batt
dead batt” and turns off.
To restart the instrument, the battery must be replaced with a fresh one.
To replace the instrument’s battery, follow the steps:
• Turn the instrument off by pressing ON/OFF.
• Turn the instrument upside down and remove the battery cover by
turning it counterclockwise.
• Extract the battery from its location and replace it with a fresh one.
• Insert back the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close.
FACTORY CALIBRATION RESTORE
It is possible to delete the calibration and restore
factory calibration.
1• Press GLP/ to enter GLP mode .
2• Press READ/ /TIMER to enter in the
factory calibration restore screen. The
instrument asks for confirmation of user
calibration delete.
3• Press ZERO/CFM to restore the factory
calibration or press GLP/ again to
abort factory calibration restore.
4• The instrument briefly notifies “done” when
restores factory calibration and returns to
measurement mode .
14•Press GLP/ to edit the desired month
(01-12). If the key is kept pressed, the
month number is automatically increased.
15•When the correct month has been set, press
ZERO/CFM or READ/ /TIMER to confirm.
Now the display will show the day blinking.
16•Press GLP/ to edit the desired day (01-
31). If the key is kept pressed, the day
number is automatically increased.
Note: It is possible to change the editing from
day to year and to month by pressing
READ/ /TIMER.
17• Press ZERO/CFM to save the calibration date.
18•The instrument displays “Stor” for one
second and the calibration is saved.
19•The instrument will return automatically
to the measurement mode by displaying
dashes on the LCD.
CALIBRATION
Note: It is possible to interrupt the calibration
procedure at any time by pressing CAL
CHECK or ON/OFF keys.
1• Turn the meter on by pressing ON/OFF.
2• When the beeper sounds briefly and the
LCD displays dashes, the meter is ready.
3• Press and hold CAL CHECK for three
seconds to enter calibration mode. The
display will show “CAL” during calibration
procedure. The blinking “ZERO” asks for
instrument zeroing.
4• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard HI
96729-11 Cuvette A into the cuvette holder
and ensure that the notch on the cap is
positioned securely into the groove.
6• Press ZERO/CFM and the lamp, cuvette
and detector icons will appear on the display,
depending on the measurement phase.
7• After a few seconds the display will show
“-0.0-”. The meter is now zeroed and
ready for calibration. The blinking “READ”
asks for reading calibration standard.
8• Remove the cuvette.
9• Place the CAL CHECK™ Standard
HI 96729-11 Cuvette B into the cuvette
holder and ensure that the notch on the
cap is positioned securely into the groove.
10•Press READ/ /TIMER and the lamp,
cuvette and detector icons will appear on
the display, depending on the measurement
phase.
11•The instrument will show for three seconds
the CAL CHECK™ standard value.
Note: If the display shows “STD HIGH”, the
standard value was too high. If the
display shows “STD LOW”, the standard
value was too low. Verify that both CAL
CHECK™ Standard HI 96729-11 Cu-
vettes, A and B are free from fingerprints
or dirt and that they are inserted cor-
rectly.
Then the date of last calibration (e.g.:
“01.08.2005”) appears on the display, or
“01.01.2005” if the factory calibration
was selected before. In both cases the year
number is blinking, ready for date input.
12•Press GLP/ to edit the desired year
(2000-2099). If the key is kept pressed,
the year number is automatically increased.
13•When the correct year has been set, press
ZERO/CFM or READ/ /TIMER to confirm.
Now the display will show the month blinking.
Warning: do not validate or calibrate the instrument with standard
solutions other than the Hanna CAL CHECK™ Standards, otherwise
erroneous results will be obtained. For accurate validation and calibration
results, please perform tests at room temperature (18 to 25°C; 64.5 to
77.0°F).
