Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Device not turning on | Dead or incorrectly inserted batteries. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| No temperature reading/ "--" displayed | Probe not properly connected or damaged. Transmitter and receiver not paired. | Ensure probe is firmly connected. Check for visible damage to the probe. Power cycle both units to re-establish connection. If problem persists, probe may need replacement. |
| Inaccurate temperature readings | Probe not inserted correctly into meat. Probe damaged. | Re-insert probe into the thickest part of the meat, away from bone. Test probe in boiling water (should read 100°C/212°F) or ice water (should read 0°C/32°F) to check accuracy. |
| No wireless connection | Units too far apart or obstructions. Low batteries. | Move receiver closer to the transmitter. Ensure no large metal objects are blocking the signal. Replace batteries in both units. |
