1.
If you use the breathalyzer for the first time, then push the
battery compartment cover on the back downwards. Remove
the small paper inside the battery compartment (this paper
prevents the 2 inserted batteries from discharging). Close the
battery compartment cover again.
2.
Insert a mouthpiece (best accuracy) or a straw (good
accuracy) into the sensor / mouth opening on the front of the
breathalyzer. Make sure that the mouthpiece / straw is firmly
seated. Use a new mouthpiece / new straw for each test person.

3.
Push the power button*. The device warms up and therefor a
countdown starts. Wait until you can see “0” on the display.
As soon as you can see “0”, start blowing into the mouthpiece.
4.
The device will start beeping as soon as you start blowing,
keep blowing steadily until you hear a quick double beep tone.
Tip: Blow like you would whistle (without a break). If the breath
sample was too weak then you can see „Flo“ on the display.
Please put off the device and start it again for a new test.
5.
After a successful breath sample you will see the digit „0“
moving left to right in the display as the device analyzes the
breath sample. The test result is displayed after a few seconds
(blinking 10 times). It shows a 3 digit readout (with 2 decimals)
of your blood alcohol level in per mill. You can interprete the
test result 1:1. The test result has got a tolerance of +/- 0,10 per
mill with reference to 0,50 per mill.
6.
You can put the device off by pushing the power button until
you see “Out” on the display, but the device also puts itself off
automatically approx. 15 seconds after showing the blinking
test result.
Please note:
Wait at least 15 minutes after finishing your last drink -
otherwise residues of alcohol in your mouth influence the
test 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.
*If you constantely keep pushing the power button, you can
see the number of all tests conducted with the device (starting
with zero after a calibration) and also the last result of measu-
rement where alcohol was detected.
