Turn On/Off Unit
Press and hold ON/OFF/°F/°C button on the receiver for 2 seconds to turn
on/off the receiver.
Press ON-OFF/ºF/ºC / button on the transmitter for 2 seconds to turn on/off
the transmitter.
Synchronize/Pair Transmitter and Receiver
The transmitter and receiver were already paired at our manufacturing facility. Usually you do NOT need to resynchronize or re-pair the units. You just plug in the probes, insert batteries, turn on the receiver and the transmitter and wait for a few seconds, you will see the temperatures shown on both receiver and transmitter and the units are ready for use.
However, in some unusual cases, the transmitter and receiver are no longer paired, then you may need to resynchronize them by following the below steps:
a. Insert the stainless steel probes into the corresponding plugs in the
transmitter.
b. Turn on the transmitter by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/ºF/ºC button for
2 seconds. The transmitter will show the current temperatures on its LCD
display.
c. Turn on the receiver by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/°F/°C button for 2
seconds.
d. Press and hold Mode button on receiver for 2~3 seconds to enter the
synchronization mode which will last for 60 seconds. The display shows “—” and
it is flashing.
e. Wait for a moment until the temperature reading shows on the receiver
display, it means the synchronization/Pairing is complete. Your professional
remote cooking 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.
Auto Off Feature
The receiver will turn off automatically if it has not received the temperature signal from the transmitter for more than 30 minutes, a beep will sound for one minute before it shuts down. However, the Auto Off feature will be automatically disabled if the timer is running.
Measure meat temperature to USDA doneness temperature range
-
Press MODE to select thermometer mode. The upper display will show a small MEAT and a meat type such as BEEF.
-
Press MEAT to select meat type. PROG (program), GBEEF (ground beef), GPOUL (ground poultry), BEEF, VEAL, CHCKE (chicken), PORK, POULT (poultry), LAMB & FISH.
-
Press TASTE to select the level of doneness for the meat type selected. RARE, MED RARE, MEDIUM, MED WELL and WELL DONE.
Note : The temperature displayed to the right of the actual meat temperature PROBE TEMP will show the preset temperature TEMP SET according to USDA doneness levels. Example: Beef will be Well Done at 165 °F. -
Once the temperature of meat reaches the preset doneness level, the receiver will beep and the LCD backlight will turn red.
Measure meat temperature set to your specific taste
- Press MODE to select thermometer mode. The upper display will show a small MEAT and a meat type such as BEEF.
- Press HR or MIN to raise or lower the set temperature. As you press HR or Min the display changes to PROG (program). Press and holding the button will raise or lower the temperature setting rapidly. Pressing MEAT will return you to the preset USDA ranges.

Procedure for typical use on an outdoor grill
The following typical example will go through the steps to have the Professional Remote Cooking Thermometer alert you to when a beef steak is cooked to medium (USDA doneness level) and remind you to rotate hot dogs in 5 minutes.
-
Turn on the grill.
-
Follow the synchronization/pairing procedure.
-
Place steak and hot dogs on grill rack.
-
Insert probe sensor into the center of thickest portion of the steak. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.
Assume the meat temperature is 45 °F. -
Position the probe sensor wire so they will not come into contact with flames and exit the grill surface area without being pinched/crushed by the grill cover.
-
Stand the transmitter away from heat source of grill. DO NOT put transmitter on the closed cover or under the cover. The transmitter is not waterproof. DO NOT use in the rain.
-
Press MEAT so BEEF is displayed.
-
Press TASTE so MEDIUM is displayed and 150 °F will be shown as the TEMP SET.
-
Press MODE to change to timer mode.

Press MIN 5 times to set for 5 minutes so that 0:05 is displayed. Press START/STOP to start the countdown.
Press MODE to go back to thermometer mode. -
You may take the receiver up to 300 ft away from the outdoor grill. Go indoors if desired.
-
When 5 minutes are up the receiver will beep for 60 seconds.
-
When the temperature of probe in the steak reaches 55 °F the LCD backlight will flash blue.
-
When the temperature of probe in the steak reaches 135 °F the LCD backlight will flash Yellow.
-
When the temperature of probe in the steak reaches 150 °F MEDIUM the receiver will beep and the LCD backlight will flash red.

-
Turn off the transmitter and receiver.
HELPFUL HINTS
If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed, it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
