5. Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the power button on each unit to turn them on. The units will automatically attempt to pair.
- Insert Probes: Carefully insert the tip of the stainless steel probe into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone or gristle. Use the probe clips to secure probes in place if needed, preventing direct contact with hot surfaces.
- Select Food Type (MEAT button): Press the 'MEAT' button to cycle through pre-programmed meat types (e.g., Beef, Poultry, Fish).
- Set Doneness (TASTE button): Press the 'TASTE' button to select the desired doneness level (e.g., Well, Medium, Rare) for the selected meat type.
- Switch Temperature Units (℃/℉ button): Press the '℃/℉' button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit display.
- Timer Function:
- Countdown: Press the 'MODE' button until 'TIMER' is displayed. Use the 'SEC/▼' and 'MIN/▲' buttons to set the desired countdown time. Press 'START/STOP' to begin or pause. An alarm will sound when the time expires.
- Count-up: With the timer set to 00:00, press 'START/STOP' to begin counting up.
- Backlight: Press the 'LIGHT/▲' button to activate the backlight for better visibility in low-light conditions. The backlight may change color to indicate an alarm state (e.g., blue for normal, orange for alarm).
- Alarm: When the food reaches the set target temperature, an audible alarm will sound, and the display backlight may change color. Press any button to silence the alarm.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the main and auxiliary units with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the units in water. The probes can be cleaned with warm soapy water, but ensure the probe connector (where it plugs into the unit) remains dry.
- Probe Care: Avoid bending or kinking the probe cables excessively. Do not expose the probe cables or connectors to direct flame.
- Storage: Store the thermometer and probes in a dry place when not in use.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both units when the low battery indicator appears on the display or if the units fail to power on.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Display: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
- Inaccurate Readings: Verify the probe is fully inserted into the thickest part of the food, avoiding bone. Ensure the probe cable is not damaged.
- No Wireless Connection: Ensure both units are powered on and within the 100m (328.1ft) range. Obstructions like thick walls or metal appliances can reduce range. Replace batteries if connection issues persist.
- Alarm Not Sounding: Check if the target temperature is set correctly. Ensure the volume is not muted (if applicable, though this model does not specify volume control).
