help with acu rite therm

[panfisher]

My acu-rite thermometer won't give an actual temp reading. It just says high or low. No matter what I do I cannot get it to give me an actual reading. The instruction book has no options for it, any ideas? Is it junk? I have another digital probe that works ok, but i always like to use two.
Thanks in adavance

Kinda silly question but did you change out the batteries?

changed the batteries and still no reading, just says high or low. There has got to be a way to get the darn thing to read internal temp. It used to be all I had to do was push the probe into the meat and I got a reading, now nothing, I am confused. Any other suggestions?

Make sure the plug in end is dry. If there is moisture in there it will not read correct.
