RFX MEAT not connecting or staying connected?

My RFX MEAT is not connecting or staying connected, what can I do?

If your probe has a "Communication" issue or is "Not Connecting":

1. 1. 1. Check the Battery Level: First, confirm the probe is fully charged. Be sure that the probe is shiny clean and free from any debris or smoky buildup (scrub if necessary). Also, be sure the metal contacts in the charging block are clean and free from any damage or food debris.  When properly inserted, powered, and making good contact, the charging block will flash in a heartbeat pattern--two flashes, pause, two flashes, pause, etc. If it doesn't blink at all, only blinks 10 times (exactly), or blinks in a rapid fashion with no pauses, try a fresh battery in the charging block and double-check the probe and the block for any debris, build-up, or food remnants. Clean as necessary and try again. If the blinking feedback remains irregular, forward over the details, and we'll help them from there.  

      2. Test Signal Strength: Do you already have a probe that is connected to your RFX GATEWAY, lay the connected RFX MEAT probe on the RFX GATEWAY, and wait a moment to allow for the RFX MEAT to transmit.  If the signal strength isn't between –21 dBm and –30 dBm, the RFX GATEWAY may be underperforming.

      3. Address Interference: Do you have any obstacles (walls, etc.) or other devices causing RF interference between the probe and the gateway? Try moving closer to the gateway or to eliminate the source of interference.

      4. Over-exposure to Temperature: If it has been exposed to extreme temperature conditions, it will diminish the over-all performance of the probe.
