You have purchased a meter that is intended to be calibrated with NIST standard buffers. These are rarely used except in the laboratory. Most meters use
NIST traceable 'operational' buffers. With them if the meter sees, during cal, a buffer near 7 it assumes it is a NIST traceable operational buffer and proceeds to do the calibration based on pH values for that meter stored in its memory. If you present such a buffer to your meter it will assume that it is a NIST buffer and proceed to calibrate presumably based on the tables for that buffer unless you tell it that the pH is something different which apparently you must do. Now what I can't tell from the manual is how this entry is treated with respect to temperature variation. Are you supposed to enter the pH of the buffer printed on the bottle label or the pH at the calibration table as obtained from the table often furnished with the buffer?
I would be a little skeptical about readings obtained with this meter (though the error is probably appreciably less than 0.1 pH) and would caution others to avoid it because of this.
It's not the ideal situation by any means but yes, you should do this. Better would be to buy NIST buffers (
