Inkbird BBQ GO - User Manual

FAQ
1.Why the probes display inaccurate temperature? Such as 572F or
display ‘------‘?
Answer: First please check the probes whether firmly inserted in the unit
and make sure no gaps. Customers really need push it hard in. Then
change probes to insert in different ports to check if the probe itself has
problem. Please make sure your probes firmly inserted, otherwise will
display’-----‘ even if the cell phone pair with Bluetooth successfully.
2.Can I put this unit in high temperature places?
Answer: No, it can’t. The plastic back magnet temperature should not over
80℃/176F. Otherwise the unit will melt. Probe temperature range: 32° F ~
572 ° F; (Short-time measurement); 32° F~ 482 ° F (continuousmonitor-
ing).
3.Why cell phone can not search the app?
Answer: Please make sure your GPS is on(Android phone).
4.Why I need a 4 number pin code? What’s correct steps to pair with
cell phone?
Answer: This unit no need for pin code. Here are two solutions:
First, for some customers who have used our Inkbird other thermometers
before, you have to delete the before record, then to pair with this product.
Because one cell phone can only connect one unit at one time. Second,
The correct procedure is activate your Bluetooth on your phone first, open
the BBQGO APP to press the bottom start button to search, then press the
on button of your unite for about 4 seconds it should connect.
5.Can this unit be submerged into water?
Answer: No, customers can use at outdoor when raining. The unused
sockets should be inserted well. Please don't submerge this unit into
water.
6.Are the probes and wires waterproof?
Answer: Yes.
7.Does this unit have low/high temperature alarm function?
Answer: Yes
8.Is there any graphing or save of previous cook data?
Answer: It can only display the current cooking data. Which can’t be saved
or download.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The BBQ GO IBT-4XP is a smart wireless BBQ thermometer designed to help users monitor food temperatures during cooking. It offers a range of features to enhance the barbecue experience, from real-time temperature tracking to customizable alarms.

Function Description:

The primary function of the BBQ GO IBT-4XP is to provide accurate temperature readings of food being cooked, wirelessly transmitting this data to a connected smartphone via Bluetooth. It supports up to four probes simultaneously, allowing users to monitor multiple food items at once. The device displays current temperatures on its screen and within the companion mobile application. Users can set target temperatures for different food types and preferences, and the device will trigger an alarm when the desired temperature is reached. The app also allows for the selection of various food types and doneness levels, simplifying the cooking process. While it displays current cooking data, it does not save or allow for the download of previous cook data. The device includes a low/high temperature alarm function to alert users if temperatures fall outside a desired range.

Usage Features:

The BBQ GO IBT-4XP is designed for ease of use, starting with its simple power-on process: pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds. It automatically powers off after 8 hours of no connection with a phone to conserve battery. Pairing the device with a smartphone is straightforward; users activate Bluetooth on their phone, open the BBQGO APP, press the start button to search, and then press the device's on button for about 4 seconds. Once paired, the connection is maintained unless the user switches to a different phone. The device does not require a PIN code for pairing.

The thermometer features a screen that displays the current temperature value, temperature unit (°C/°F), battery indicator, Bluetooth indicator, and charging indicator. It also has a screen rotation button, which can be tapped twice to rotate the screen for better viewing. Probe indicators blink to show which probes are plugged in, scanning from 1 to 4. Users insert the probes into the food, ensuring the tip is in the center for accurate readings.

The companion app, "bbq go," available on Appstore and Google Play, allows users to select food types and preferences for each probe. The app's interface displays current and target temperatures, along with options for device settings, preference display, temperature history, connection status, timer, and preference setup. The user interface of the app may change with upgrades, so users are advised to follow the in-app instructions.

The device is equipped with a magnet adsorption base, allowing it to be securely attached to metal surfaces during use. It is designed for outdoor use and can withstand rain, provided unused sockets are well-inserted. The probes and wires are waterproof, adding to their durability in various cooking environments.

Maintenance Features:

The BBQ GO IBT-4XP uses a built-in, non-detachable lithium battery that is rechargeable. A full recharge takes approximately two hours. The device comes with a USB charge cable for convenient charging.

For optimal performance and longevity, several maintenance guidelines are provided:

• Probe Care: Probes should be firmly inserted into the unit with no gaps to ensure accurate temperature readings. If a probe displays inaccurate temperature (e.g., 572°F or '------'), users should check the insertion and try inserting the probe into different ports to identify if the probe itself is faulty. The silicone cover on the end of the sensor should be removed before use.
• Temperature Limits: While the probes and wires are waterproof, they should not be submerged in water for extended periods, as this may cause inaccurate temperature measurements. The probes and wires are designed to withstand high temperatures but should not be directly placed in burning flames or heating tubes. Exceeding the specified temperature range can burn out the probe and wire.
• Physical Handling: Users should avoid strongly squeezing the probe and wire, as this can break the plastic-covered wire and cause a short circuit on the polarity.
• Device Protection: The main unit, particularly the plastic back magnet, should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C/176°F to prevent melting. When using the device outdoors in the rain, unused sockets should be well-inserted to prevent water ingress. The unit itself should not be submerged in water.

The device is designed to be robust, with Teflon cables and stainless steel mesh for the probes, ensuring durability and resistance to cooking conditions. Regular charging and adherence to the usage and maintenance guidelines will help ensure the device continues to function effectively for many barbecue sessions.
