INSTRUMENT RECORD CARD 32°F (0°C) 212°F (100°C) Model Order Code BlueTherm (MFi) 179-200 BATTERY STATUS This is indicated in the device software. The display device requests a battery level from the probe. Please note - the battery is factory fitted and is not user replaceable. Please return to ThermoWorks for replacement. CHARGING Please note - measurement accuracies are not guaranteed while charging. BlueTherm probes can be charged from a PC, laptop, USB wall charger or USB car charger. The probe can be charged while switched on or off. A red LED will be displayed when the probe is charging. If the red LED flashes during charging then an error has occurred - contact ThermoWorks. Remove the protective rubber cover at the top of the unit to gain access to the Mini USB socket. Charging will automatically finish when the battery is full, which should take less than two hours. RESET If the unit fails to communicate the battery may be discharged. Recharge, test connection with mobile device and if communication still fails perform a hardware reset. A reset switch is located under the protective rubber cover on the top of the probe. Gently pull back the protective rubber cover to gain access to the switch. Press a blunt object such as a ball-point pen into the dimple on the right of the charging socket no further than 1/8 inch and release. A red LED will flash momentarily a few seconds after releasing. MOBILE APP The BlueTherm Probe is compatible with HACCP Mobile, a Smartphone app free for download at iTunes™ and Google Play™. HACCP Mobile allows HACCP checklists to be stored on a Smartphone or tablet for paperless recording of HACCP temperatures that download to a PC. A free PC desktop utility is required to email checklists to handheld devices. For more information and to download the HACCP Mobile Desktop Utility, visit the HACCP Mobile webpage at www.thermoworks.com/software/haccp_mobile.html. SOFTWARE The BlueTherm Probe works with ThermaData Studio software for the PC. The software and quick start guide are available for free download at www.thermoworks.com/ software. GUARANTEE The BlueTherm Probe carries a six month probe warranty against defects in either components or workmanship. During this period, products that prove to be defective will, at the discretion of ThermoWorks, be either repaired or replaced without charge. The product warranty does not cover damage caused by fair wear and tear, abnormal storage conditions, incorrect use, accidental misuse, abuse, neglect, misapplication or modification. Full details of liability are available with ThermoWorks' Terms & Conditions of Sale at www.thermoworks.com. In line with our policy of continuous development, we reserve the right to amend our product specification without prior notice. Before using the BlueTherm probe, please read the care and use section of this guide. CONNECTION Pairing the BlueTherm® Probe via Bluetooth® – ensure suitable software has been installed on the display device being used to monitor the probe. The BlueTherm Probe will communicate with either ThermaData® Studio on a PC or Laptop, HACCP Mobile® for a mobile device (PDA) or customer's own application. Switch unit on and use the settings section of your device software to pair the BlueTherm Probe. iPhone/iPod/iPad go to settings/general/Bluetooth and select the serial number (found on the end cap) of your probe from the list. If a password is requested to complete the pairing operation use 1234. Not all devices require a password. AUTO-RECONNECTION TO iOS DEVICES (For BlueTherm Probe firmware R1.5.0 and above) - When connected the firmware revision number can be found through the BlueTherm App. When pairing to an iOS device (entering PIN) the BlueTherm Probe stores the iOS device’s address. If connection is lost or broken the BlueTherm Probe will try to reconnect every 30 seconds. While the BlueTherm Probe is trying to reconnect extra battery power is used so it is recommended to switch off the BlueTherm unit when not being used. To clear the stored iOS Device’s address - carry out a reset while holding down the BlueTherm Probe’s TRANSFER button - 1 'red' flash followed by 5 'blue' flashes shows success. Note: auto-reconnection to Android, PC or Laptops is handled by the host software or App. INSTRUMENT OPERATION Turn the probe on by pressing the button on the front label. Apply the tip of the probe to the substance, medium or surface to be measured. The reading may take several seconds to stabilize, depending on the nature of the measurement. BUTTON FUNCTIONS Transmit/On-Off button - this button has three functions. If the probe is 'off' pressing will turn the probe 'on' and the LED will flash red. When the probe is 'on' pressing it can send a reading to the paired device with compatible software and the LED will flash blue. Pressing and holding for three seconds will turn the probe 'off' and the LED will flash blue and then red. OPEN CIRCUIT/FAULTY PROBE If the probe has developed an 'open circuit' fault the device software will display 'Err'. Contact ThermoWorks. SENSORS The BlueTherm Probe is a fixed type K thermocouple.

Use a sanitizing wipe to clean all parts of the probe. • Make sure that the protective rubber cover is securely in place over the charging port before use. Failure to secure the cover will allow liquid ingress through the USB connector, which will cause the unit to fail. For replacement of protective cover call ThermoWorks. • RESET BUTTON: If unit fails to communicate, recharge and retest communication with mobile device. PRESS THE RESET BUTTON AS A LAST RESORT, AND ONLY BY A TRAINED INDIVIDUAL. (NOTE: Press the RESET button very slightly and release (no more than 1/8-inch) with a blunt object like a ball point pen, NOT a paperclip. Wait 1-2 seconds and LED will flash Red once to confirm. Forcing past 1/8-inch will tear the rubber seal and may cause damage to internal components.) • It is strongly recommended to use the clear silicone rubber boot accessory for use in kitchens, prep areas, and where splash risk may be high. • Do not pry containers, puncture packages or lift food items with the probe. • Do NOT expose the handle to temperatures above 122°F (50°C). • Do NOT expose the tip or probe shaft to temperatures above 482°F (250°C). • Do NOT stab, jab, or force probe tip into any solid medium. • Do NOT force probe tip into frozen food, or strike the end cap of the probe with a heavy object. • Never attempt to remove the end cap of the probe. • Do NOT allow oils or food to collect on handle. Clean frequently with sanitizing wipe. • Use care when connecting/disconnecting charging cable.
