5. Press the ENTER key. The Model 60 display will show CAL at the bottom, STAND will
stop flashing and the pH calibration value is shown with the middle decimal point flashing.

6. When the reading is stable (does not change by 0.01 pH in 10 seconds), the decimal point
will stop flashing. Press and hold the ENTER key to save the calibration point. The Model
60 will flash SAVE on the display along with OFS to indicate that the offset value has been
saved.

7. SLOPE will now appear on the display and be flashing. This indicates that the slope is ready
to be set using a second pH buffer. The system is now calibrated at a single point. If you are
only performing a single point calibration, press the MODE key to return to normal
operation.

STOP HERE IF PERFORMING A 1-POINT CALIBRATION.
9. If you are performing a 2-point or 3-point calibration, fill a clean container with the second
value pH buffer (pH 4 or 10, or pH 4.01 or 9.18) and immerse the probe into the solution.
Make sure that the temperature sensor is immersed.
10. Press the ENTER key. The Model 60 display should now show CAL at the bottom, SLOPE
will stop flashing and the pH calibration value (automatically sensed by the instrument) is
shown with one of the decimal points flashing.
