Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BFOUR Meat Thermometer, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones. Verify that the probe's notch is fully covered.
- Connection Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the app is open. Check the distance between the booster, probe, and phone. The recommended distance between the booster and probe is ideally no more than 196 feet (60m) in open environments, and the booster to phone is 328 feet (100m) unobstructed. Metal or obstacles can reduce signal range.
- Battery Life: Ensure both the booster and probe are fully charged before use. Refer to the charging instructions in the Setup section.
- No Display/Device Not Turning On: Check battery levels and ensure the device is charged.
- Probe Damage: The MAX internal temperature of the probe should not exceed 212°F (100°C) or the probe will be damaged. The probe handle can withstand temperatures up to 752°F (400°C).
- Ambient Temperature: Note that the meat probes cannot measure ambient temperature.
