New from the factory, BlueDOT will read within ±1.8°F even after changing probes, so you should never need to use the CAL feature. However, if you'd like, you may fine-tune the calibration
for accuracy better than ±1°F with a specific probe.
The CAL function allows adjustment of the reading at a single temperature. Once an adjustment is made, the readings will be "offset" by the adjusted amount across the whole range of the
thermometer.
Because you'll need a very stable and accurate reference temperature to make this adjustment, the only precise way to do it across a wide range outside of a calibration lab is with a properly
prepared ice bath (32°F). Directions for conducting an accurate ice bath test are found at https://www.thermoworks.com/learning/thermapen101_creating_an_icebath.html.

Step 1
Turn BlueDOT on and immerse the probe into the ice bath and gently stir. When the temperature is stable (no longer changing), note the final
reading. It should be 32°F.
Step 2
Open the ThermoWorks BBQ app and make sure your BlueDOT is connected. Go to 'Settings' and press the 'Calibrate' button. A pop-up warning
