Booster ModesUpdated 4 days ago

Which modes apply depends on which Booster you have. See Which Booster do I have? in WiFi Booster.


Range-extending mode (MeatNet™)

The Booster works with other MeatNet™-enabled tools to seamlessly extend the range of your CPT. Each Booster or Display automatically repeats signals from other linked Combustion tools.

  • Place a Booster near the Predictive Thermometer you want to boost to get a strong first hop.
  • Use that to relay the signal to (and from) the Display or App where you are monitoring + controlling your cook.
  • Or use the Display as the second "node" to re-boost the signal to the app.
  • Each node creates a new broadcast location with an unobstructed signal strength of about 330ft (100m).

Charger mode

Cradling a thermometer turns the Booster radio off. The Booster will use its battery to recharge the CPT. 

  • When the Booster is not plugged in, press the button to determine the charge of the CPT. 
  • When the CPT is absent, press the button to determine the charge of the Booster itself. 
  • Placing a thermometer in the Booster will activate charger mode. 

Sleep mode

If a Booster can’t find a connection, it will stop searching after 2 minutes to conserve battery. Press the button to wake it up.



Still have a question?

If your Booster is not switching modes as described, email [email protected] and tell us which Booster you have and what the light is doing. Booster Lights (LED) decodes the patterns, and the WiFi Booster: Troubleshooting Guide covers faults.
