3.1 Prerequisites

The ambient air must be free from alcohol and solvent vapours
(disinfectants).

Maintain an adequate distance from mobile telephone antennas
and transmitter sites so as not to impair the function of the device.

Observe a waiting period of at least 15 minutes after the last oral
alcohol intake!
Residual alcohol in the mouth can distort the measurement. Even
aromatic beverages (e. g. fruit juice), alcoholic mouth sprays,
medical juices and drops and, belching and vomiting may result in
false data. Also observe a waiting period of at least 15 minutes in
these cases. Rinsing the mouth with water or non-alcoholic drinks
does not replace the waiting time!

The test person should breathe regularly and calmly before the
sample is taken. Avoid breathing in and out quickly through the
mouth.

The device records breath samples with a volume greater than 0.3
L. The test subject must be able to deliver this volume as a
minimum. If the volume of the breath sample is over 0.3 L and less
than 1.2 L, the message "Low volume" is shown on the display as
well as the measurement result.
The displayed alcohol content of the breath sample does not
reflect the blood alcohol concentration until the volume exceeds
1.2 L breath volume. All alcohol tests of breath samples with the
message "Low volume" may display a lower result than the actual
blood alcohol concentration.
