Registering Receiver & Transmitter
Loss link alert
If the recciver 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.
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.
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.
Note: The probes are identical and can be used for either meat or barbecue.
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. lt will produce the same result.

Activating the temperature alarm
You can press the ALERT, ºC /ºF button to activate the temperature alarm for Both probe 1 and 2.
The alarm icons will appear above the actual temperature.
The receiver will beep with the alarm icon and probe temperature flashing if:
a) The actual FOOD temperature has exceeded your set maximum FOOD temperature.
(The alert Beeps 3 times every second if the temperature is within 6 oC or 10 F of the set
temperature and beeps 4 times every second once the set temperature is reached)
b) The actual BARBECUE temperature has exceeded your set maximum BARBECUE temperature.
(Beeps twice in every second)
c) The actual BARBECUE temperature has fallen below your set minimum BARBECUE
temperature.
(Beeps once in every second)
Note if you press the ALERT, ºC /ºF button and the actual probe temperature is above the FOOD
set temperature or out of range of your BARBECUE set temperature then the Alert icon and the
actual probe temperature will flash immediately indicating the issue.
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, to activate the alarm. The unit will NOT beep or flash 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 flash.
Note: The unit will retain your Barbecue & Food alert temperature settings even after the unit is
turned off.
Procedure for typical use in an outdoor barbecue
Monitor 1 FOOD and 1 BARBECUE
The following typical examples will go through the steps to have the ET-734 BIG GREEN EGG BARBECUE
alarm you if a piece of meat BEEF is cooked to 173 ºF and if your barbecue temperature falls
below 225 ºF or goes above 275 ºF.
Set up barbecue
1. Follow the registration procedure.
2. Place BEEF on the barbecue grill rack.
3. Insert probe 1 into the center of thickest portion of the meat. Avoid touching bone or heavy
fat areas.
4. Clip probe 2 to grill rack of barbecue grill rack.
5. Position the probe sensor wires so they will not come into contact with flames and exit the
barbecue without being pinched/ crushed by the cover.
6. Stand/ hang the transmitter away from heat source of barbecue. DO NOT put transmitter on
closed cover or under the cover. The transmitter is water proof for use in rain.
Probe 1: FOOD, BEEF, WELL DONE, SET TEMPERATURE 173 °F
1. Press and hold SET button for 2 seconds.
2. Press HI or LO button to switch flashing probe in upper left hand corner to (1).
3. Quickly press SET.
4. Press MODE button so FOOD is displayed.
5. Quickly press SET.
6. Press MEAT button until BEEF is displayed.
7. Quickly Press TASTE button until W.DONE is displayed.
8. Quickly Press HI button until 173 is displayed as HI SET.
9. Press set.
Probe 2: BARBECUE, 225 °F LO SET, 275 °F HI SET

4. Press MODE button so BARBECUE is displayed.
5. Quickly press SET.
6. Press and hold HI or LO button until 275 is displayed as HI SET.
7. Quickly press SET.
8. Press and hold HI or LO button until 225 is displayed as LO SET.
9. Press set.
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 or you get a false
temperature, squeeze the probe jacks harder into the transmitter and twist them back and
forth so they make good contact. If the problem still persists 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.
Within the warranty period, return defective probe to address below along with return address
and we will send you a replacement probe at no charge.
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.
Helpful Hints
Cautions:
1) Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
2) Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3) Clean the stainless steel probes and dry thoroughly after each and every use.
4) Do not use the receiver in the rain. It is NOT rain proof. The transmitter is rain proof but not
water tight. Do not immerse in water.
5) Do not expose the plugs of the stainless steel probes or the plug in holes of the transmitter to
water or any liquid. This will result in a bad connecting and faulty readings.
6) Do not expose the receiver or transmitter to direct heat or surface.
7) Do not use stainless steel probes in microwave oven.
8) The Barbecue Thermometer registers temperatures as low as 32 ºF (0 ºC) and as high as 572 ºF
(300 ºC). LLL will be displayed below 32 ºF and HHH will be displayed above 572 ºF. Do not use
the stainless probe sensor above 572 ºF. Doing so will deteriorate the wire.
9) Not Intended for Use by Persons ages 12 and Under.
Cleaning
1) Always wear a heat resistant glove to touch the stainless steel probe sensors or wires during or
just after cooking. Do not touch with bare hands.
2) Keep the stainless steel probe sensors and wires away from children.
3) Wash the metal probe tips with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the
probe in water while cleaning.
4) Wipe the transmitter and recei ver with damp cloth. Do not immerse either in water.
