Operating Instructions

Once paired, you can begin using your TempSpike Plus for accurate temperature monitoring:

1. Insert the Probe: Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring that only the black handle of the probe is visible outside the meat. Avoid inserting the probe into bone or gristle.
2. Position the Booster: Place the booster near your cooking appliance, within the 600-foot range of your smart device. The booster will receive data from the probe and transmit it to your phone.
3. Select Meat Type & Target Temperature: In the TempSpike app, select the type of meat you are cooking from the preset options (e.g., Beef, Pork, Poultry, Turkey). You can also customize the target internal temperature based on your preference.
4. Monitor Temperatures: The app will display real-time internal and ambient temperatures. You can set high and low alarms for both temperatures to receive notifications when they are reached or exceeded.
5. Estimated Time Left: The app provides an estimated time remaining for your cook, helping you manage your cooking schedule.
6. Data Recording: Use the app's recording feature to track temperature changes throughout your cook. This data can be viewed in a graph and exported for future reference.

Maintenance & Care

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your TempSpike Plus thermometer:

• Cleaning the Probe: The probe is IP67 waterproof and can be rinsed under running water. Use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to clean the probe. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
