lost. Pressing any button on the receiver will stop the loss link beep.
2. To regain the transmission signal, move the receiver close to the
transmitter, the link should be automatically restored, and the temperatures
should appear on the receiver display.
11. Automatic shutdown function
If the transmitter receives no button presses for 2 hours and the temperature
is also below 40 °C, it will automatically power off. The receiver will
automatically shut down after receiving no signal for 30 minutes. Note: When
there is TIMER running, the receiver will not shut down automatically.
12. 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. 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, so you
may need to re-synchronize them by following the below steps:
a. Insert the stainless-steel probes into the corresponding probe sockets in
the transmitter.
b. Press and hold /SYNC button on the receiver for 2-3 seconds to enter the
synchronization mode which will last for 60 seconds. The display shows a
flashing “–S.
c. 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.
13. Helpful Hints
• If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the
probe temperature, wait for the probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH
is still displayed or you get a false temperature, squeeze the probe jacks
harder into the transmitter and twist them back and forth so they make good
contact. If the problem still 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 with 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 outside. Reposition the probe tip in the center of the
thickest part of the food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.
14. Cautions
- 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 and every use. Do not use the receiver in the rain. It is NOT rainproof. The transmitter is rainproof but not water-tight. Do not immerse in water.
- Do not expose the plugs of the stainless steel probes or the plug-in holes
of the transmitter to water or any liquid. This will result in bad connecting
and faulty readings. 5) Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct
heat or surface. 6) Do not use stainless steel probes in a microwave oven. 7)
The Barbecue Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 32 °F (0 °C) and as
high as 572 °F (300 °C). LLL will be displayed below 32 °F and HHH will be
displayed above 572 °F. Do not use the stainless probe sensor above 572 °F.
Doing so will deteriorate the wire. 8)Not Intended for Use by person ages 12
and Under.
15. Cleaning - 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.
- Wash the metal probe tips with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe in the water while cleaning.
- Wipe the transmitter and receiver with a damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
