Quirky Maverick?

h20egg

There's much excitement in the house as it looks like my second Butt attempt will be a success, unlike the first when the fire went out in the night. I used the Maverick 73, but I believe my improved firesetting skills made it unnecessary as the egg held all night at 237. But I slept well knowing the alarm "had my back."

My question is setting up the Maverick; I followed all the instructions to a tee, and it was fairly straightforward. But, three times when I picked it up (and was within 20 ft of transmitter) it cleared, beeped, and I had to reprogram it all, resetting to transmitter. First time I assumed I'd erroneously hit a button, but 2nd and 3rd I just picked it up carefully and beeeeeeep. When I went to bed I carried it carefully upstairs like a little baby bird, set it by the bed, no problem. It did leave me a little less than confident.

Anyone else have this experience or have an idea of what I might be doing wrong?

Mine has certainly never done anything like that. If it's the 1st time you're using it, I'd say it might be defective. If you can exchange it, I would.
