Loss link alert

IfthereceiveristakenoutofrangeorthereisabnormalexternalinterferenceoraftershuttingOFF

the transmitter, the receiver may not be able to receive the transmission from the transmitter. If

this happens over 4 minutes, the unit will alert you by beeping once for every 4 seconds to tell you

tore-syncthesignal.PressinganybuttononReceiverwillstoptheLossLinkbeep.

To regain transmission signal, move the receiver close to the transmitter, turn OFF the Receiver

andthenturnbackON.PressandholdtheRESYNCbutton of the transmitter 2 seconds within

120secondsandthetemperaturesshouldappearonthereceiverdisplay.

Remarks:

According to FCC Part 15.231(e) rule, the RESYNC button can be activated once every 12

seconds manually. If the re-synchronization doesn’t succeed 1st time, wait for 12 seconds before

pressing & hold the RESYNC button again. Or you can press and hold the power button 2

seconds to turn OFF the Transmitter and then turn back ON again. It will produce the same result.

Activating the temperature alarm

YoucanpresstheALERT,ºC/ºF,START/STOPbuttontoactivatethetemperaturealarmfor

BARBECUE and FOOD. The alarm icons will appear beneath the

FOOD and BARBECUE icons.

Thereceiverwillbeepwiththealarmiconandprobetemperatureashingif:

a) TheactualFOODtemperaturehasexceededyoursetmaximumFOODtemperature.(Beep

(Beeponceineverysecond)

Note: The minimum BARBECUE temperature alarm will not be activated until the actual

BARBECUE temperature goes above the set minimum temperature.

For example: You set the minimum BARBECUE temperature as 220 ºF and press the ALERT, ºC /

ºF, STOP/START to activate the alarm. The unit will NOT beep or ash even if the actual BARBECUE

temperature is below 220 ºF. It assumes that your BARBECUE is not up to temperature. Only when

the actual BARBECUE temperature goes over 220 ºF, then falls below 220 ºF, can the alarm be

activated, the unit will beep and ash.

Note: The unit will retain your Barbecue & Food alert temperature settings even

after the unit is turned off.
