1. Install Batteries: Open the battery compartments on both the transmitter and receiver units. Insert the 4 AAA batteries (2 for each unit) according to the polarity markings.
2. Connect Probes: Firmly insert the stainless steel probes into the designated ports on the transmitter unit. Ensure they are pushed in completely until they click into place to prevent inaccurate readings.
3. Power On: Press the power button on both the transmitter and receiver units to turn them on. The units are pre-synchronized and should connect automatically.
4. Place Transmitter: Position the transmitter unit near your grill, smoker, or oven. Ensure it is not directly exposed to extreme heat or flames.
