How to Set BBQ Temperature

Press the PROBE button to choose between probe 1/2/3/4. You will see the corresponding probe’s current temperature flashing on the LCD screen.
Press BBQ/MEAT button until you see BBQ on the LCD screen. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds. You will see default HI temperature (250°F) begin to flash.
Press the or buttons to set your desired HI BBQ temperature. Press and hold the or buttons to rapidly scroll through digits.
Press SET again to confirm.
The default LO temperature (220°F) will begin to flash. Press the or buttons to set your desired LO BBQ temperature. Press and hold the or buttons to rapidly scroll through digits.
Press SET again to confirm. The flashing will stop.
NOTE: The HI BBQ temperature range is 33°F – 572°F and the default setting is 250°F. The LO BBQ temperature range is 32°F – 571°F and the default setting is 220°F.
To set probe 2, 3, 4’s temperature, select the probe and repeat the rest of the steps above.
The thermometer will save the current settings after the unit is turned off.
After you are finished setting the temperature, you can begin to monitor the MEAT and BBQ temperatures. Insert each probe into the meat or place in the BBQ/SMOKER/OVEN with the BBQ Clips. The receiver will receive an updated temperature every 12 seconds.
Once the temperature of the MEAT/BBQ reaches the set temperature, both the transmitter and receiver will sound an alarm, the LCD backlight will turn on, and the corresponding probe on the display will flash. Press any button to stop the alarm.

Details about HI and LO Alarm

The alarm will not be activated if the current temperature is below the LO setting or above the HI setting. For example, current temperature is 86°F, the HI setting is 194°F, the LO setting is 140°F, the alarm will not be activated. Once the current temperature goes above 140°F, and then drops below 140°F, the LO temperature alarm will be activated. Once the current temperature goes above 194°F, the HI temperature alarm will be activated.
The alarm settings will be saved after the unit is turned off.

Auto Off Feature
The receiver will turn off automatically if it hasn’t received a temperature signal from the transmitter for more than 30 minutes. An alarm will sound for one minute before it automatically turns off. The transmitter will automatically turn off if the temperature of the 4 probes stays below 104°F for 2 hours. The unit will save the current settings after the unit is turned off.

Synchronize/Pair Transmitter and Receiver
The transmitter and receiver were already paired at our manufacturing facility. Usually you do NOT need to re-synchronize or re-pair the units. Simply plug in the probes, insert batteries, and turn on the receiver and transmitter. After a few seconds, the temperatures will show on both the receiver and transmitter, and the units are ready for use. However, if the transmitter and receiver are no longer paired, you may re-synchronize them as follows:
Option 1:

Insert two AAA batteries into the receiver; the signal icon on the display will flash.
Insert two AAA batteries into the transmitter and insert the stainless-steel probes into the corresponding probe sockets in the transmitter. The LCD screen will show the current temperatures of each probe.
Wait for a few seconds. The transmitter will send the signal to the receiver and once you see the current temperatures on the receiver, the thermometer is ready for use.

Option 2:

Press and hold the POWER/RESYNC button on receiver for three seconds to enter the synchronization mode. Then press and hold the POWER/RESYNC button on transmitter for three seconds.
Wait for a moment until the temperature reading shows on the receiver display; it means the synchronization/pairing is complete. Your thermometer is now ready for use.

Note: The synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver won’t be lost even if you replace the batteries.

Helpful Hints

If the receiver and/or the transmitter do not show the temperature, wait for the probe to reach room temperature. Be sure the probe jacks are fully inserted into the transmitter and gently twist them back and forth to ensure good contact. If the problem persists, it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
Within the warranty period, contact us and we will send you a replacement probe at no charge.
If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly, check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food. Re-position the probe tip in the center of the thickest part of the food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.

Precautions

Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless-steel probe sensors or wires during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probes and dry thoroughly after each use.
Do not expose the plugs of the stainless-steel probes or the probe sockets of the transmitter to water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat.
Do not use stainless steel probes in a microwave oven.
The probe thermometer registers temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C) and as high as 572°F (300°C). Do not use the stainless probe sensor above 572°F. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
Not intended for use by persons aged 12 and under.

Cleaning

Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
