I gently dry the tip with a paper towel and replace the black cap. If it will be longer than a couple of weeks, go ahead and take the batteries out.

It should be mounted inside some type of enclosure because there are some exposed metal pieces and you will have 220V there. If you are not up to homebrewing something, here is another vendor of the same type of meter that sells a couple enclosure options - their version of this meter sells for about $100 on ebay.http://www.ekmmetering.com/ekm-metering-products/enclosures-and-mounts.html

Yes, it will remember the last setting used, even if you do not save it. When you turn the unit back on it will be at the last setting used.

Yes, the unit will remember the settings without power. Mine has been unplugged for 3 months and it remembered the settings I last used for the set point temp and the differential range all in the proper units.

The Accu-Check strips are encoded with an expiration date. That date is on the box. After that date the strips will NOT work in Meter.

You plug it into any outlet inside your home to dry it out. After a couple hours you put it back in your safe. I generally just use the outlet closest to the safe.

The battery is in a little compartment that pulls out on the side of the meter. It takes a a CR2032 3V battery. To access the battery, open your meter like you were going to put in a disk. The slide that holds the battery is on the right hand side if the face of the meter is facing away from you.

When power goes out the thermostat holds the stored information for a while. If the power is out for extended time period then information is lost. This is as accurate as I can offer it as I've never timed it.

Put it on the gray charge station. Leave it till light changes or goes out.

Leaving it in the soil will compromise the meter. It is not designed for that purpose.

Yes, it has a weather proof box, so you can safely put it outside nest to your meter. This will also save wire.

I bought my meter new, I would like to think if you buy it used from an electronics outlet/store yes, if not I could not tell you.

I suggest you leave in the device but don't expect it to be usable for long as this was made for storage

Check your paper work that came with meter. Other than that, I have had no problem with mine. I set it for what I want to check and it works just fine. Your meter and mine are the same.

The meter will turn off after a certain amount of time, therefore periodic usage is recommended. Extended usage will require more cleanings and recalibrations.
