Warnings and Precautions
WAIT AT LEAST 20 MINUTES AFTER EATING OR DRINKING BEFORE TESTING.
A breathalyzer
examines “lung air” samples, not “mouth air” to calculate alcohol content. Any “contaminants” in the
mouth, including alcohol, food, smoke, or even excess saliva, may interfere with testing. This
includes alcohol-based mouthwash or similar products.
This is the most common cause of improper
use and incorrect results.
Avoid testing in high wind or enclosed spaces. Poor ventilation may also lengthen the time required
for warm up between tests.
Do not blow smoke, saliva or other contaminants into the mouthpiece, as the sensor may become
damaged.
Do NOT use the Premium as a tool to drink and drive.
Keep out of extreme temperatures and out of the reach of children.
To maintain accuracy, the sensor inside the Premium must be recalibrated every 200 tests or at least
once a year (whichever comes first). Large numbers of "high positive" (high alcohol) readings may
require recalibration of the sensor much sooner than normally expected.
