When the NanoQ arrives from the factory, the setpoint will be 225 deg F +/- 10 deg (all 
temperatures reffered to in this user guide are  +/- 10 deg F tolerance). 
 
To adjust the setpoint up by 5 deg F, simply press the 

UP 

 key.  If you hold the 

UP 

 

key down, the value will continue to increment by 5 degrees with each blink of the Utility 
LED. 
 
To adjust the setpoint down by 5 deg F, simply press the 

D O W N 

 key.  If you hold the 

D O W N 

 key down, the value will continue to decrement by 5 degrees with each blink 

of the Utility LED.   
 
To show you that the setpoint is set to the maximum, anytime the setpoint is set to 475 
deg F (max temp) the yellow led will blink about once every 2 seconds. 

10.1. To Capture a Temperature Setpoint 

The setpoint capture feature can be likened to a cruise control set button in that it makes

If 

your pit is already at the temperature that you want to cook at, you can easily capture the 
setpoint to maintain that temperature.  To capture the new setpoint, simply press the 

UP 

 & 

D O W N 

 keys for one second.  The White Utility Led will blink off to indicate 

this new setting.  Ten seconds after your last key press, the white Utility LED will 
quickly flicker to show that your setting has been stored.  This ensures that the setpoint

powered up (or in the event of a power recovery after an interruption).

setpoint by pressing the

 keys for one second (one blink off 

of the Utility LED). 

Your setpoint is now set to where you saw the dial indicator at the time of the capture 
(350 deg F for this example).     

10.2. Restoring a Temperature Setpoint of 225 degF. 

To return the NanoQ back to its factory setpoint of 225 deg F, simply hold down the 

UP 

 & 

D O W N 

 keys for 3 seconds until the Utility LED blinks off two times.  It will 

blink off after one second to show the setpoint capture and will blink off again after 3 
seconds to show the restoration of a 225 deg F setpoint.  Ten seconds after your last key 
press, the white Utility LED will quickly flicker to show that your setting has been 
stored.  This ensures that the setpoint has been entered in the internal memory and will be
