2. Setup Instructions

1. Initial Charging: Before first use, ensure both probes and the base unit are fully charged. The probes fully charge in approximately 25 minutes and last for 25 hours. The base unit, with its built-in 2500 mAh lithium battery, charges in about 3 hours.
2. Download the App: Search for the 'Tempwise' app on your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and install it.
3. Power On: Press the power button on the base unit to turn it on.
4. Pairing: Open the Tempwise app on your smartphone. The app will guide you through connecting the thermometer via either WiFi (5G+2.4G) or Bluetooth (5.4). The device automatically switches between WiFi and Bluetooth modes based on connection quality.
5. Probe Insertion: When inserting the probes into food, ensure they are inserted to a sufficient depth, beyond the safe cooking line, to get an accurate internal temperature reading.
6. Placement: During use, maintain a distance of no more than 6 meters (19.68 feet) between the probes and the base unit. If there are obstacles, shorten this distance for a stable connection.

7. User Tips

• Utilize Presets: For common meats, start with the USDA recommended temperatures in the app. This ensures food safety and optimal doneness.
• Customize for Perfection: Don't hesitate to use the custom temperature settings for specific recipes or personal preferences.
• Early Warning Advantage: Set pre-alarms a few degrees below your target temperature to give you time to prepare for removal or adjust cooking.
• Monitor Remotely: Take advantage of the WiFi connectivity to monitor your cooking from anywhere in your home, allowing you to focus on other tasks without constantly checking the grill or oven.
• Keep it Clean: Always clean the probes immediately after use to prevent food residue buildup and maintain hygiene.
