Talktech MyDegrees User manual

Manual 1 (4)
Congratulations to your purchase of MyDegrees, a high-quality talking multifunction thermometer. It
can measure the outdoor temperature, the indoor temperature, and to be used as a roast, cook and
grill thermometer with a temperature measuring range between -29°C to 240°C. The food probe
sensor and its connection cable can withstand a maximum temperature up to + 240 degrees. I can
also be used to measure the temperature of liquids, for example when boiling food.
Languages: German, Spanish, English, Italian, French, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish.
Start with inserting the batteries in the indoor unit ONLY.
Setting your language
A. Press and hold the big red button (no 1) at the front side.

C. Release the large red button (no 1) and step among the different languages with the same red
button (No 1) until you reach your preferred language.
D. Lock your selected language by pressing the language button again (No 4). Your language is now
set.
After language setting, insert the batteries in the white outdoor unit.
How to connect the indoor unit with the wireless outdoor transmitter:
A. Place the units approximately one metre apart from each other.
B. Press and hold the wireless connection button on the indoor unit (no 3) until you hear a signal.
Release the connection button.
C. Now the contact symbol in the front window starts twinkle.
D. When the contact symbol in the front window stops twinkle, the devices are in contact with each
other. Please note that it takes 3-5 minutes before the units are paired. Now you can hear the
outdoor sensor's current temperature by pressing the big red button (No. 1)
Reporting of indoor temperature / Outdoor temperature

Outdoor sensor location
The white outdoor sensor shall be placed in the shade, all to obtain as good accuracy as possible. It
can be attached with either the enclosed self-adhesive Velcro, or to hang in the hole on a screw. It is
important that no other heat source "disturbs" the sensor during colder weather conditions. If so,
the correct temperature is not reported. An example could be heat radiation if the sensor is wrongly
placed directly on a window. Better to place the sensor just below the window, all to avoid such
radiation, and to obtain the correct temperature. NOTE that the outdoor sensor needs at least 1 hour
to calibrate itself to the actual outdoor temperature.
Location of the indoor unit.
The indoor unit can lie down, or to be attached to a surface with the supplied self adhesive
male/female Velcro, or hang in the hole on a screw. The indoor unit is also equipped with built-in
magnets and can be attached to any metal surfaces, such as to your refrigerator or on a white board.
NOTE that the indoor unit is affected by external heat sources. For example, holding it in your hand
for too long, the indoor temperature will be affected for a while.
Oven thermometer / food probe sensor.
A. Connect the cooking food probe sensor into the smaller hole at the side of the indoor unit. (The
bigger hole is there only for future development of other accessories to MyDegrees.)
B. Place/push the food probe sensor into the middle of the food object.
C. Put the food into the oven with the probe cable coming out between the oven itself and the oven
door.
There is an adjustable alarm function and which tells you when the food is ready. An entire chicken,
as an example, should be taken out of the oven when it reaches a temperature of 82 degrees (close
to the inner bone). The thermometer has a built-in speech function that reports the current
temperature of the food 5 degrees ahead of when it is getting ready and in five steps. (Starts
reporting from 77 degrees and up.) When the pre set temperature is reached, (82 degrees) the alarm
is sounding and the voice reports that the temperature is reached.
To set the alarm function.
A. Press and hold the red button (no 1) for 4 seconds. The voice will report "set temperature"
B. Increase temperature with the red button. (No. 1). Reduce temperature with the white button
(no 2) The temperature can be increased or decreased by stepping those buttons. Pressing and
holding the buttons will "speed up" the setting procedure.
C. When the desired temperature is set, wait for 5 seconds. The voice now reports which
temperature is set. Wait another 5 seconds until you hear a short signal and which is indicating that
the measurement procedure starts.
D. When the food is ready, the alarm sounds for 20 seconds and then turns off automatically.
Alternatively, you can turn off the alarm yourself with the red button. (No. 1)
