5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Probe Placement

Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring the probe tip is located in the center and does not touch bone. The ceramic handle should remain outside the food and cooking vessel. The safety line on the probe indicates the minimum insertion depth for accurate internal temperature readings.

5.4 Bluetooth Connectivity

The device utilizes Bluetooth 5.2 for a stable connection. For optimal performance:

• Maintain a distance between the base unit and the probes within 10-130 feet (3-40 meters).
• When there are no obstructions, the maximum distance between your phone and the base unit can reach up to 432 feet (130 meters).
• Obstacles such as walls or metal structures can reduce the effective range. If the signal is blocked, move closer to the base unit.
