TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USE

FIRST-TIME USE & CALIBRATION:
Important: Initial readings may be off by +/- 10° until calibration is complete (about 1 hour). The sensor will calibrate during the first hour of use. The blue light will come on for a couple of seconds each time the sensor takes a reading (once an hour by default).

USING IN A FREEZER?
The sensor can measure freezing temperatures as low as -40°. For freezers, you must use 2x AA (1.5V) Energizer Lithium batteries for continued operation. Do not use alkaline batteries in freezers as they cease to function at sub-zero temperatures.

TO CHANGE WIFI NETWORKS

Remove the battery cover.
While the device is powered on, hold down the reset button until the red light on the front of the Temp Stick turns on, then release (about 5-6 secs). Once you have a steady blinking red light you will be in setup mode.
In your Temp Stick app, navigate to the “Sensors” section. Select the sensor whose wifi network you want to update. Click on the “Update WiFi” button.
Follow the on-screen instructions to change your primary WiFi network or add a 2nd wifi network as a backup.

PERFORMING A FACTORY RESET

Turn off Temp Stick (slide the power switch left).
Hold down the reset button, power on the device, and keep the reset button held until the led on the front of the Temp Stick turns blue and releases (30 seconds).
Once you have a steady blinking red light the device has been reset to factory settings.

BATTERY OPTIONS

Lithium Batteries (Included)
Your Temp Stick sensor comes with two 1.5V AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. The average battery life expectancy with default settings is up to 1 year.

Lithium batteries are recommended for Extreme heat and freezer applications: Lithium batteries perform even in the most extreme temperatures, making lithium batteries perfect for extremely cold or hot conditions where alkaline batteries typically cease to function.
