SMARTRO X50 has 8 probe rings (including red, yellow, green,
blue, 2 rings for each color).
Always attach probe rings by sliding them over the probe tip.
Attempting to attach probe rings by sliding them over the probe
jack will cause them to stretch and loosen.
First Probe Ring:
Step 1: Slide the first of the two matching probe rings over the
probe tip.
Second Probe Ring:
Step 1: Holding the second probe ring, slide probe ring over the
probe.
Step 2: Roll the probe ring over the PEEK of the probe.
Step 3: Place the probe ring at the point where the metal spring
and the PEEK meet.
Step 2: Roll the probe ring over the metal springs of the probe.
Step 3: Slide the probe ring down the cable until it is over the
metal springs of the probe jack. There will be a slight groove to
hold the probe ring in place.

Step 1:
Fill a large cup with crushed ice and fill up to 3/4 with purified
water. Water that is not puried, such as tap water, still works but
may slightly decrease the accuracy. Let the mixture sit for one
minute, then stir to allow the temperature to be even throughout.
Insert the probe so that the tip is at the centre of the cup and stir
gently for 3-4 seconds.
Step 2:
When the measured temperature displays 32°F (0°C), stop stirring
the probe, and hold it still in the centre of the cup. The temperature
display should read between 28.4-35.6°F (-2 to 2°C).
Step 5:
Press again(or no operation for 10 seconds) to save the
setting.
Step 4:
Press to increase or decrease the temperature. For
example, if you want to add 0.6°F, you can press until the
reading displays 0.6°F.
Step 3:
Press of the channel corresponding to the probe, then long
press for 5 seconds. The HIGH ALARM temperature will
display "CAL" and measured temperature will display 0.0°F.

Tips for Use:
● Your SMARTRO X50's body should not be axed directly to a
smoker or grill's lid or left in the smoker or oven. The high heat will
severely damage the plastic housing.
● Insert the cooking probe so that the tip rests at the thickest part
of the meat or food. Avoid gristle or bone.
● You can choose one of the four probes as the air probe. Pinch
grate clip, insert probe, and attach the clip to the grate. Place the
air probe 1-2 inches away from the food, avoiding the sides of the
cooker. The grate clip can be adjusted for dierent-sized grates by
gently bending. We recommend leaving the air probe in the clip
while adjusting.
● Set your desired alarm temperatures. Chef-recommended
doneness temperatures are listed at the end of the manual. If
cooking meat, set the alarm somewhat lower to allow for carryover
heat during resting.
6. Use & Maintenance
15 16
Note:
● The available calibration range is ±4°F(±2.2°C).
● Long press to quickly set the temperature.
● When calibrating, if there is no operation for 10 seconds, the
current setting will be automatically saved and calibration mode
will be exited.
● Settings will be saved on the device unless the batteries are
removed or exhausted.
SMARTRO X50 is ready-to-use. No extra testing or calibration is
required before using it. The operations below are for reference
only.
5. Calibration Guide

Cautions for Probes and Cables:
● Use hot pads or gloves when removing the probe from meat. It
will be hot. Do not pull on the cable. Use the molded mini-handle.
● The cables can withstand 700°F (370°C) and the transition/
handle 644°F (340°C) for short periods. Probe tip itself is rated to
572°F (300°C). Do NOT expose probe tip to ames or coals.
● The probe is moisture-resistant but we do not recommend full
immersion of the cable. Clean probe by wiping with damp cloth
and kitchen cleaner.
● Keep the probe cable away from oven elements, ames, coals,
grill or oven racks, all of which can reach temperatures far higher
than 700°F (even if an oven is set lower).
● When using ovens or smokers, avoid pinching the cable
between hot surfaces such as a cast iron grill hood without some
insulating protection. Avoid repeated twisting of the probe cable
which can break wires.
Issue Reason Solution
The measuring
result is too low
or too high.
The measuring
temperature exceeds
572°F (300°C) multiple
times which results in
the main unit being
damaged.
Please contact us for
support or buy a new
one.
Please use the main
unit within normal
work-temp range -4°F
to 572°F (-20°C to
300°C).
The probe is exposed
to open re (ame)
or probe temperature
is higher than 572°F
(300°C) which results
in the probe being
damaged.
Please contact us for
support or buy a new
probe.
DO NOT expose the
probe to open re
(ame) or other objects
with temperatures over
572°F (300°C).
The temp
displays "HHH".
The measuring
temperature exceeds
572°F (300°C).
Take out the probe from
the high temperature
place at once and allow
it to cool down, only
use this thermometer
within normal work-
temp range -4°F to
572°F ( -20°C to
300°C).
The probe is not
plugged in completely
or the probe socket is
damaged.
Unplug the probe and
fully re-insert it into the
thermometer. If it still
has problem, please
