Registering Receiver & Transmitter

The Barbecue Thermometer needs the receiver to register and lock in the radio frequency signal from the transmitter, every time the device is turned on. Proceed as follows to register.

1.Plug the stainless steel probe sensors into the corresponding plug in of the transmitter.

Note: The FOOD probe is 6 inches long with pointed end while the BARBECUE probe is 3 inches long with a grill rack clip.

2.	Turn on the receiver by pressing the power button		2 seconds.
3.	Turn on the transmitter by pressing the power button 2 seconds, found on the back of the
	transmitter. This needs to be done within 120 seconds of turning on the receiver in order for
	the receiver to receive the Registration Code from the transmitter. If it doesn’t beep within
	5-10 seconds and the “---” shown on LCD was flashing or is solid, press the power button			2
	seconds to turn OFF the Transmitter and then turn back ON. Pressing and holding the RESYNC
	button	for 2 seconds will get the same result as turning the transmitter OFF and then ON.

4.Registration is completed when the unit beeps and the probe temperatures will appear on

LCD.

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.
