* Change of Mode and configuration is achieved by using the joystick on your Reef Angel Controller.
* To access the Main Menu, simply press the joystick down.
* You will see the menu options available on the screen:

1. Feeding
2. Water Change

* The numbers presented in this calibration process are not the actual pH reading.
* They are the raw numbers that the controller will use to calibrate your probe.
* Dip the probe into the pH 7.0 calibration solutionand let it stabilize. Optional: write down the number in the center between the pH 7.0 reading and the pH 10.0 reading.
* Rinse the probe with RO or distilled water.
* Dip the probe into the pH 10.0 calibration solution and let it stabilize. Optional: write down the number in the center between the pH 7.0 reading and the pH 10.0 reading.
