TROUBLESHOOTING

Why does our App need to ask for your location (GPS)? It is safe?

Because our app uses Bluetooth function, and this is abided by the Framework Agreement of Android and iOS. Any Bluetooth app must request location permission. Our application won’t ask and use your WLAN/Celluar, so turn on the location just because of the Android and iOS rules. We are unable to see and receive your location.

What is the PIN code? Why can’t connect to the APP

You can’t connect devices on your phone’s system via PIN. App download and use require acceptance of location terms. The connection method is to open the device first, then open the “Grill 5.0” App on the phone, search through the search page, click “hcitool scan”, and search for “Grill BT5.0” in a few seconds, click to enter use.

Why not wireless?

Wireless refers to the Bluetooth connection between the device and the phone, not the connection between the probe and the device. This has the advantage of not having to stare at the temperature display of the device all the time.

Why always disconnect the Bluetooth connection?

The product uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology with Bluetooth 5.0 module (TI‘s CC26  40). In an open and unobstructed environment, it can reach a distance of 70 meters; but it does not penetrate the wall well. The characteristic of this Bluetooth technology is that as long as the device is connected, no matter the signal strength, it can be used normally.

LLL on the display

Temperature exceeds range: 33℉~572℉(1℃~300℃)or the probe is damaged

Why does the display keep flashing after setting the temperature range?

Only when the current temperature is within the temperature range, the display can return to normal. If it is lower or higher than the temperature range, the device and mobile phone will alarm with the flashing display.

Why no data is displayed after powering on?

A: If the probe is not plugged into the socket after powering on, the device will not display temperature and auto power off after 3 minutes.

WARNING

  • Do not touch the stainless portion of the probe during or right after measuring temperatures since it will be hot.
  • Keep away from water since the thermometer and cables are not waterproof.
  • Do not place the probes or probe cable directly in a burning flame.
  • Do not damage the sensor tip, it will affect the use.

Notes on the probe

  1. Do not put the probes and cable directly in the fire flame.
  2. The temperature probes of this meat thermometer can’t be submersible for cleaning.
  3. Clean and dry the probe thoroughly after each use with a damp cloth.
  4. Always insert the probe upright into the thickest part of the meat while avoiding fatty or bony areas. Avoid direct contact between the open flame and the probe and cable to cause excessive temperature and damage to the probe.

NOTE

If you want to confirm the accuracy of the probe or equipment, it is recommended that you test in ice water or boiling water. If you think the temperature of the probe is not accurate, please contact us at edison@szbfour.com, we will provide a free warranty or replacement service.

Does this have a hard-carrying case?

Yes, there is a sturdy box for convenient storage and transportation. When you click on our image to make it larger, you can see the ninth image, which contains the package’s information.

Can I buy this with a Fahrenheit display, please?

due to the barbecue thermometer’s occasionally delayed response. The device will display °F if you turn it back to °C and then back to °F. Sorry for the difficulty, but try converting the temperature unit on your phone’s app a few times.

Can I put the entire thing inside my oven to verify the temperature inside?

The “whole contraption” wouldn’t have to go into the oven. The probes will transmit the temperature to the display device if you place them in the oven. Only the probes are designed to withstand severe heat, not the main control unit.

How is the battery cover opened? power source

The battery cover is challenging to open. It slides in one direction before needing to be pryed open. Once you have pushed the cover into the opening position, a sharp knife under the edge would be helpful.

Does this continuously record and save the temperature? Does it also monitor it?

The Bluetooth thermometer records the temperature over time. But regrettably, there is currently no record and save feature.

Is it possible for the probes and cable to enter a typical oven with the door closed?

Yes. They are metal probes, and the wire is protected from heat by a metal sheath. The seal of your oven door may be slightly compromised because the probes must be joined to the thermometer device in order to obtain readings, but if this doesn’t prohibit you from using it, they should be able to endure the heat of your oven.

Can one of the probes be used to monitor the smoking temperature of the air in a smoker?

In order to measure the ambient temperature of the grill or smoker, our barbecue thermometer is also fitted with a clamp for mounting the probe.

Can the probes be used to monitor grill temperature?

You can, indeed. But avoid inserting the probe all the way into the flame.

Does it work with phones that have Bluetooth 4.0?

Yes, it is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible.

Can rechargeable batteries be used?

No, three AAA batteries are included with the thermometer box.

The thermometer can withstand water?

The thermometer is not dishwasher-safe, but the probe is. The thermometer is not waterproof.
