3.3 Temperature Range

The thermometer provides accurate internal temperature readings from -4°F to 212°F (-20°C to 100°C). The ambient temperature sensor can withstand external temperatures up to 1000°F (537°C).

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

After each use, wipe the probe and booster unit clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the booster unit in water. The probe is designed to be waterproof for cooking environments.

4.2 Storage and Charging

Store the probe in the booster unit when not in use. To maintain battery health, recharge the booster unit at least once every 3-5 months, even if stored for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

• Device Fails to Power On After Charging: If the booster unit does not power on after charging, press the reset button to activate the battery, then attempt to recharge it.
• Connection Issues: Ensure the device is set up correctly and within range of your Wi-Fi network. The industrial-grade Sub-1G wireless technology is designed for reliable connection.
• Ambient Temperature Discrepancy: Variations in ambient temperature readings can occur due to probe placement, time, and heat source. Even small positional differences can affect readings. The thermometer is NIST-certified for accuracy.
