Operating Instructions
Setting Target Temperatures (HIGH/LOW Alarms)
- Press the 'SET' button on the receiver unit to enter programming mode.
- Use the arrow buttons (up/down) to select the probe (P1, P2, P3, P4) you wish to program.
- Press 'SET' again to select the HIGH temperature alarm for the chosen probe. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature.
- Press 'SET' again to select the LOW temperature alarm for the chosen probe. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature.
- Repeat for other probes as needed. Press 'SET' to exit programming mode or wait for the unit to time out.
- To activate/deactivate an alarm, press the 'ALARM' button. An alarm icon will appear/disappear next to the probe number.
Monitoring Temperatures
- Insert the probe tips into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone or gristle. For ambient temperature, use a grill clip to attach the probe to the grill grate.
- Place the transmitter unit near the cooking area, ensuring it is within the 500 ft range of the receiver.
