Conducting the Measurement
- Push the battery compartment cover on the back of the device downwards and check, if 2 batteries are inserted in the battery compartment. Please take note of the battery polarity (+/- pole). Close the battery cover again.
- Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the front left side of the breathalyzer. Ensure whether it is securely fitted. It is highly recommended to use a new mouthpiece for every test for sanitary reasons.
- Press the start button on the front of the breathalyzer for 2 seconds (it is the top button). The device beeps once and the display briefly shows the alarm limit, date and time set in the device; in addition, a green and a red light illuminate simultaneously above the display. „WARMING UP“ then appears on the display and at the same time a line moves from left to right (the unit is warming up).
- At the end of the warm-up phase, the unit beeps twice and „START BLOW“ appears on the display.
- As soon as „START BLOW“ appears on the display, start blowing gently into the previously attached mouthpiece for about 3 to 5 seconds until you hear 2 clicks and then 2 beeps tones (simply exhale slowly and without interruption, similar to whistling). While giving the breath sample you hear a continuous beep and the display shows „KEEP BLOW“.
- After hearing the 2 clicks and the 2 beep tones the breath sample is successfully finished and the instrument starts evaluating the measurement result. After a few seconds, the measurement result is displayed with 3 digits (with 2 decimal places at g/L = per thousand) for 4 seconds.
- To test again, simply press the start button briefly.
Please note
- Wait at least 15 minutes after finishing your last drink, otherwise residual alcohol in your oral cavity will falsify the result.
- From hygiene reasons and for accurate measurement results always use a new mouthpiece for each test.
- The default measurement setting for EU is per mill, for UK it is mg/L and for the USA it is % BAC.
- All measured values determined by this breathalyzer are always a guide only and are not legally binding.
