      Before first use

      Salt crusting around the probe tip is normal. If present, rinse under tap water and hydrate.

      1. Remove the storage cap from the probe tip. Add a few drops of KCl Storage Solution, ensuring there is enough KCl to cover the probe tip.
      2. Place the storage cap back over the probe tip and leave for 24 hours.
