5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation (Base Unit)

1. Power On: Remove the probe from the base unit to automatically power on the device.

6.2 Storage

Store the probe securely in the base unit when not in use. Keep the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device Fails to Power On After Charging: If the device does not power on after charging, press the reset button to activate the battery, then recharge it.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings: Ensure the probe is inserted correctly into the thickest part of the meat, past the minimum insertion line, and not touching bone. Verify that the probe and base unit are clean.
• Connectivity Issues: Ensure your base unit is within range of your WiFi router. The Sub-1G wireless technology is designed for strong signal penetration, but extreme distances or multiple thick obstructions can still affect performance. Restarting the base unit and your router may resolve minor connection problems.
• App Not Responding: Close and reopen the BBQOVN app. Ensure your smartphone's WiFi is enabled and connected to the same network as the thermometer.
