Getting Started

What’s in the Box?


Setup Guide

1. Charging the FireBoard Pulse

Before first use, ensure your FireBoard Pulse is fully charged:

  1. After unboxing, remove the Pulse probe from its charger by placing your thumb on the circular end and using two fingers to push upward from the charger.
  2. Next, remove the thin sticker on the back of the probe and place the probe back in the charger. The LED light on the probe will glow red during charging and turn off when fully charged.
  3. If you have more than one Pulse, you can stack the chargers to charge multiple units.

2. Adding the Pulse to your FireBoard Account

Remove the Pulse from the charger and place it next to the phone with the FireBoard App open. Press the Add button in the displayed popup or navigate to Settings > Add FireBoard to select your Pulse.

3. Connecting the Pulse to your FireBoard Device

Your Pulse will pair automatically to your supported FireBoard device, connecting either via Bluetooth or the optional S1G antennae for extended range. To change which FireBoard your Pulse is communicating with, navigate to Settings > Device > Paired Device.

3. Inserting the Pulse Probe

To ensure accurate readings:

  1. Insert the probe at least 2.76 inches (70 mm) into the meat.
  2. The hexagonal chisel tip allows for easy insertion, and the etched depth marker helps you gauge the minimum recommended insertion depth.
  3. The internal sensor will measure the food temperature, while the external sensor at the circular end tracks ambient or surface temperatures.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The FireBoard Pulse is IP67 rated, meaning it is fully waterproof and can be washed with soap and water. However, it is recommended to clean the Pulse by hand instead of using a dishwasher, as harsh chemicals may damage the charging connections over time.
