Registration Procedures
Open the battery compartment of receiver and insert the two “AAA” batteries. Open the battery compart-
ment of the transmitter by removing the 4 small screws and insert the two “AAA” batteries. If the O-ring
seal comes out of the groove be sure to push it back in before screwing the battery door back on.
The Remote Thermometer needs the receiver to register the radio frequency signal from the transmitter.
Transmitter & Receiver are off.
1. Plug the stainless steel probe sensor into the plug in of the transmitter.
2. Turn the transmitter on by sliding switch on the rear of the receiver from OFF to ON.
3. Turn unit on by pressing the button on the rear of the transmitter from OFF to ON. This needs to
be done within 60 seconds of turning on the receiver in order for the receiver to register the signal
from the transmitter. If it doesn’t beep within 5-10 seconds slide switch OFF wait a few seconds
and then switch back ON.
4. Registration is complete when the unit beeps and the probe temperature appears where the “---”
was flashing.
Transmitter is already on.
1. Plug the stainless steel probe sensor into the plug in of the transmitter.
2. Turn the receiver on by sliding switch on the rear of the receiver from OFF to ON.
3. Press and hold TX for 2 seconds on the rear of the transmitter. This needs to be done within 60
seconds of turning on the receiver in order for the receiver to register the signal from the transmit
ter. Once TX is released it will take several seconds for the receiver to register. If it doesn’t beep
within 5-10 seconds press and hold TX again.
4. Registration is complete when the unit beeps and the probe temperature appears where the “---”
was flashing.
Setting Alert Temperature
You can set the receiver to beep and flash at your desired temperature.
1. Press “ ” “ ” buttons at the same time. The alert temperature will flash.
2. While the temperature is flashing, press “ ” to raise the alert temperature or “ ” to lower the alert temperature.
3. Once you have your desired temperature displayed don’t press any other buttons. The alert
temperature will stop flashing and it will be locked in.
Procedure for typical use on an outdoor grill:
The following typical example will go through the steps to have the Remote Thermometer alert you to
when a beef steak is cooked to 160 °F (71
o C).
1. Follow the registration procedure.
2. Place steak on grill rack.
3. Insert probe sensor into the center of thickest portion of the steak. Avoid touching bone or heavy
fat areas. Make sure the probe tip is inserted into the meat at least 1 inch.
4. Position the probe sensor wire so they will not come into contact with flames and exit the grill
surface area without being pinched/crushed by the grill cover.
5. Stand/hang the transmitter away from heat source of grill. DO NOT put transmitter on closed cover
or under the cover.
6. Press “ ” “ ” buttons at the same time. The alert temperature will flash.
7. While the temperature is flashing, press “ ” to raise the alert temperature or “ ” to lower the
alert temperature until 160 °F (71 o C) appears beneath the ALERT TEMP icon.
8. Don’t press any buttons and in 5 seconds 160 °F (71 o C) will be locked in.
9. Press the “ ” to turn the alert ON.
10. Turn on the grill.
11. Clip the receiver to your belt or pocket and move up to 100 ft (30 meters) away from the outdoor grill. Go
indoors if desired.
12. When the temperature of probe in the steak reaches 160 °F (71 o C) the receiver will beep continu
ously. The probe temperature will blink continuously.
13. Press either “ ” “ ” buttons to turn off the alert. The alert will beep and blink in 2 minutes if
the probe temperature remains above the set temperature. The alert stops when the probe
temperature falls below the set temperature or you press “ ” again to turn the alert off.
14. Turn off grill. Remove the probe sensor from steak. Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch
the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
15. Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
16. Turn off the receiver & transmitter.
HELPFUL HINTS
If the receiver and/or the transmitter display LLL or HHH instead of the probe temperature, wait for
probe to reach room temperature. If LLL or HHH is still displayed it is likely the internal probe wire
has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage.
Do not immerse the probe in water while cleaning.
Do not allow the probe or probe wire to come into contact with flames. If cooking with grill
cover closed, only use medium or low heat.
Make sure the probe tip is inserted into the meat at least 1 inch.
If the temperature displayed seems to read too high or the temperature seems to increase too quickly
check to make sure the probe tip is not poking through the food to outside. Reposition the probe tip
in the center of the thickest part of food. Avoid touching bone or heavy fat areas.
Cautions:
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after
cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Clean the stainless steel probe and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
Do not use the receiver in the rain, It is not waterproof.
Do not expose the plug of the stainless steel probe or the plug in hole of the transmitter to water or any
liquid. This will result in a bad connection and faulty readings.
Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
Do not use stainless steel probe in microwave oven.
The Remote Thermometer
registers temperatures as low as 14 o F(-10 o C) and as high 410 o F (210 o C). LLL
will be displayed below 14 o F (-10 o C) and HHH will be displayed above 410 o F (210 o C). Do not use the
stainless steel probe sensor above 410 o F (210 o C). Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
Cleaning
Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensor or wire during or just after
cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
Keep the stainless steel probe sensor and wire away from children.
Wash the metal probe tip with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the probe in water
while cleaning.
Wipe the transmitter and receiver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
