I think he meant online.I mentioned in my post below it didn't come with a manual.
I cannot say for sure without looking at you pH meter and probe, but the most likely problem is that you pH probe is broken or clogged. It probably needs to be replaced.i just got mine today and went to calibrate it, but only had a hole in the back no set screw? so i took the back off to find the adjustment on the board, but my problem was after calibrating it, i put the prob in my tank and it read 11.4 ph "oh no" now i know that's wrong, so i recalibrated and it still read 11.4. so i pulled out the old pinpoint ph monitor calibrated it put it in the tank and read 7.3ph then did a chemical test ya it''s 7.3 ??? now just so you know the prob that came with the milwakee arrived dry so i was thinking this might be a problem, but after reading some info thy say to soak it in a solution to activate it again but it still read 11.4, so just to see were the problem was i swapped the probes and the milwakee prob worked fine on the pinpoint and read 7.2 so i put the pinpoint prob on the milwakee sm122 and it read 7.2, so if any one can tell me what the heck (not what i really said) this kind of thing bugs the hell out of me.
That's what I was thinking, a bum probe. If you bought it new, send it back. If you bought it used, you can get a probe from aquariumplants.com for about $40. I'm sure you can find one cheaper than that if you try.I cannot say for sure without looking at you pH meter and probe, but the most likely problem is that you pH probe is broken or clogged.

Missing parts and bad probe? Can you send it back?
A calibration with 1 point isn't a calibration at all, and the manual says to calibrate to 4 and 7.Calibrate to the 7.01 solution only..... I believe it says that as well on the instructions...........
Don't mess with the back of the controller.......
ya i just found it funny the way it worked out, but i have it up and running so all is good, and i checked it twice just to make sure it is working.A calibration with 1 point isn't a calibration at all, and the manual says to calibrate to 4 and 7.
dittto!Calibrate to the 7.01 solution only..... I believe it says that as well on the instructions...........
