PRECAUTIONS
1.
Wait at least 20 minutes after drinking, eating or smoking
before testing. Not observing this waiting period can cause
inaccurate readings and damage the sensor.
2.
Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the BACTRACK as this
will damage the sensor.
3.
Do not test in areas with strong winds, smoke, or in an area
where a large amount of alcohol is being consumed.
4.
Send your tester in for periodic calibration service as required.
(See calibration).
5.
The BACTRACK Breathalyzer is designed to be used in a
temperature range of 50-104 degrees F (10-40 degrees C).
6.
Avoid testing in the presence of any substances that contain
methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or acetone. These substances
may interfere with the results of the test.
7.
You cannot use the results of this product in court.
8.
Do not use the BACTRACK as a tool to determine whether you
should operate a motor vehicle or equipment, or perform any
other dangerous act.
9.
Do not drink and drive. Always have a designated driver when
alcohol is being consumed.
The BACTRACK is calibrated during manufacture using advanced
alcohol simulation equipment. Known alcohol concentrations are
passed through the sensor to set baseline values for testing.
During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples to these
baseline values.
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six to twelve
months of normal use, depending on the number of tests performed
and operating conditions.
If this product is providing inconsistent test results, is not providing
any test results, or provides unusually high or low test results, the
product should be recalibrated immediately by a trained professional.
The product should be recalibrated at least every six to twelve
months. If the product is used every day, it may need to be
recalibrated as frequently as every month.
Calibration Instructions
Please visit www.bactrack.com or call 877-334-6876 for information
on how to get your BACTRACK Breathalyzer recalibrated.
During recalibration, a professional technician will reset the sensor
baseline values and also perform a full diagnostic check to ensure the
accuracy and reliability of the product.
