How to Pair Your Traeger Wireless Probes with a Touchscreen Grill

To pair your wireless meat probe, follow these steps:

1. If this is your first time using your Traeger Wireless Meat Thermometer, connect the battery by removing the battery cover on the back of the charging case. Pull the tab protecting the battery to allow the battery to make contact.

   • Your probe will come with numbered, metal clips. Attach the numbered clip associated with the numbered probe you selected on the display.
     
6. Probe pairing should be successful. You may either go to the probe or pair another device.
