Troubleshooting

• No Signal/Dropped Connection: Ensure the main unit and probes are within the 1000FT wireless range. Obstacles like thick walls or metal structures can interfere with the signal. Try repositioning the main unit for a clearer line of sight.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings: Verify that the probes are inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones or gristle. Ensure the ambient temperature sensor (located on the probe) is not directly exposed to flames or extreme heat beyond its specified range (up to 1050°F for probe, 572°F for ambient sensor).
• Display Issues: If the display is dim or unresponsive, check the battery level and recharge the unit if necessary.
• Probes Not Pairing: Ensure both the main unit and probes are sufficiently charged. If issues persist, refer to the 'RESYNC' button on the main unit to re-establish connection.
