I think your post #16 is the answer. I didn't see any of that. So I'm thinking I didn't set it correctly.

Thanks
Chris

You're welcome.
That should do the trick.

I noticed also that the probe ends do plug in very hard. I have had that happen to me twice already thinking it was plugged in properly. I sure do love that thing though.

Ok so I've finally got it working correctly(I think). I believe I didn't have the probe plugged in all the way. Now I'm waiting for warmer weather to give it a real test.

Thanks guys.

Glad that it is working Chris. I have yet to try mine out so I'll keep these tips in mind when I do.

Chris,
You are very welcome and thank you for the kind words.
I am glad we all got it sorted out since the IRF 4S really is a nice thermo.

Anyone know how to get the temp readings to stop flashing? I figured out the transmitter pings the receiver with updates every 12 seconds but I can't get the screen to stop flashing in the temp blocks.

It will stop flashing once you set the values.

Let's say you want to set up the thermo to monitor grate temp and IT
I use probe position #1 to monitor grate temp
Press the PROBE button until P1 flashes.
Then press the MEAT button repeatedly until OVEN appears at the top of the screen.
Next press the OVEN button. The display will alternate between hi and lo.
Press the Oven button again. This will allow you to set high temp alarm. Press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons until you reach the temp you want. Repeat this to set the low temp alarm. The display will flash until the reciever reads the probe temp from the transmitter.

Let's say you want probe #2 to monitor IT for a whole chicken. You have two options here. You can either use the preprogrammed temps or set your own.
Here is an example of doing both.
Press the PROBE button to advance to P2 (second probe position).
Next press the MEAT button until either CHCKE or POULT is displayed at the top of the screen.
Both of these MEAT settings default to 165* and cannot be changed. It is what it is.
Let's say you want to monitor the thigh temp instead of the breast.
Press the MEAT button until PROG is displayed at the top of the screen.
In the Probe #2 box, the temp will default to 145* and the box will display SET TEMP.
Use the UP or DOWN arrows to set your desired temp then push the PROBE button to exit. P2 box will now display the probe reading from the P2 position on the transmitter.

You will notice that with the pregrogrammed meat settings you can change the doneness level by pressing the TASTE button.
An arrow will appear above the doneness level you have selected.

Hope this helps.

You are very welcome.
It took me a couple of times of just playing with it to figure it out. The manual is somewhat confusing.
