The transmitter will automatically shut down if the temperature of the 4 probes stays below 40 °C for 2 hours.

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, then you may need to re-synchronize them by following the below steps:

1. Insert two AAA batteries into the receiver, the signal icon on the display will flash.
2. Insert two AAA batteries into the transmitter, and insert the stainless steel probes into the corresponding plugs in the transmitter. The LCD display will show the current temperatures of each probe.
3. Press the POWER button on the receiver and hold for three seconds to enter the synchronization mode.
4. Wait for a moment until the temperature reading shows on the receiver display, it means the synchronization/pairing is completed. 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.

How to Set Meat Temperatures to Preset Temps and Doneness Levels

You can use the four probes (Probe 1- Probe 4) to measure and monitor the tem­peratures of four pieces of meat or four sections of the same large piece of meat.

1. Press the PROBE/TIMER button to select between four probes (Probe 1-Probe 4). Your selection will be represented by a small icon (PROBE 1 or PROBE 2, PEOBE3, PROBE4) on the upper part of the display.

3. Press the TASTE/LO/HI button to choose the level of doneness for the preset meat type selected: RARE, MED RARE, MEDIUM, MEDIUM WELL and WELL DONE.
4. Once the current temperature reaches the preset target temperature for Probe 1, Probe 2, Probe3, or Probe4, the receiver will sound an alarm. Press any button to stop the alarm.

How to Set Meat Temperature to your Specific Taste

1. Press the PROBE/TIMER button to select between the four probes (Probe 1- Probe 4).
2. Press the MEAT button until the LCD displays PROG (program). Press the UP or DOWN buttons to increase or decrease the set temperature. Press and hold the UP or DOWN buttons to rapidly increase or decrease the temperature values.
3. Once the current temperature reaches the target temperature for Probe 1 or Probe 2, Probe 3, or Probe 4, the receiver will sound an alarm. Press any button to stop the alarm.

How to Set and Monitor BBQ Temperature

You can use any of the 4 probes to measure and monitor the ambient temperature inside your smoker, barbecue or oven.
Remember to clip the selected probe(s) to the rack of the barbecue or smoker.

1. Press the PROBE/TIMER button to select between the four probes (Probe 1- Probe 4).
2. Press the MEAT button until the LCD displays BBQ.
3. Press the TASTE/HI/LO button to switch to the HI BBQ temperature setting. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to increase or decrease to set your desired HI BBQ temperature. Press and hold the UP or DOWN buttons to rapidly increase or decrease the temperature values. The HI BBQ temperature range is 140°F -572°F (recommended temperature range) and the default setting is 250°F.
4. Press the TASTE/HI/LO button again to confirm the HI BBQ temperature and turn to setting the LO BBQ temperature.
5. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to increase or decrease to set your desired LO BBQ temperature. Press and hold the UP or DOWN buttons to rapidly increase or decrease the temperature values. The LO BBQ temperature range is 32°F – 554°F (recommended temperature range) and the default setting is 225°F.
6. Press the TASTE/HI/LO button again to confirm the LO BBQ temperature.
7. Press the S./S./C/CLEAR button to turn on/off the alarm.
   Note: The HI BBQ will not allow you to set the temperature below the LO BBQ temperature.

Fast Target Temperature Setting

To quickly set all probes’ target temperature to the current probe set target temperature, press and hold the MEAT and TASTE/HI/LO keys at the same time for 3 seconds.
For example, when probe 1 selects BEEF MEDIUM 160°F, press and hold the MEAT and TASTE/HI/LO keys at the same time, and then the target temperature of PROBE 2, 3, 4 will be set to BEEF MEDIUM 160°F.

Helpful Hints

• If the receiver and / or the transmitter do not show the temperature, wait for the probe to reach room temperature. Push the probe jacks harder into the transmitter and twist them back and forth so they make good contact. If the problem persists, it is likely the internal probe wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
• 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 food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.

Cautions

1. 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.
2. Keep the stainless-steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3. Clean the stainless-steel probes and dry thoroughly after each use.
4. 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.
5. Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth.
6. Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat.
7. Do not use stainless steel probes in a microwave oven.
8. 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.
9. Not Intended for use by persons aged 12 and under.

Cleaning

• Always wear 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.
