Procedure for Typical Use on an Outdoor Grill
This example guides setting the thermometer for a medium beef steak and a 5-minute hot dog timer.
- Turn on the grill.
- Ensure the thermometer is synchronized.

- Insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding bone or heavy fat.
- Position the probe wire away from flames and ensure it is not pinched by the grill cover.
- Place the transmitter away from the grill's heat source. Do not place it on or under the grill cover. It is not waterproof and should not be used in rain.
- Set meat to BEEF and taste to MEDIUM (target 150°F / 65°C).
- Switch to timer mode ([MODE] button).
- Set a 5-minute countdown timer ([MIN] button x 5) and start it ([START/STOP]).
- The receiver can be used up to 300 ft away.
