Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because a low battery condition is so common with Clark electrode systems, the first step in troubleshooting is to replace the batteries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the analyzer still does not calibrate on fresh batteries, the problem is probably a depleted sen-sor. With most analyzers, a depleted sensor must be replaced (some Clark electrodes can be re-charged).
