Use

ATTENTION

• Please keep in mind that the consumption of alcohol al-

ways impairs your responsiveness and judgement! Even if
the device does not detect any alcohol or only a low level
after alcohol consumption, you may not, drive a vehicle,
operate a machine or perform an action, which, when
performed under the in

uence of alcohol, could endanger

yourself or other persons!

• Please keep in mind that improper handling or manipula-

tion of the device may cause it to display lower alcohol lev-
els. No guarantee is offered for any of the measurements
taken with this device!

• Please keep in mind that alcohol affects different per-

sons differently. Depending on height, body weight,
age and health, the effects of the same blood alcohol
level may vary from person to person.

After the measurement, the device will display the
calculated

BAC

in grams per litre and per cent.

BAC

stands for “blood alcohol content” as calculated
by the device. Example: “0.3 g/l (or 0.03 % BAC)”
corresponds to an alcohol content of 0.3 g per litre
of blood.

NOTICE

: The actual BAC may differ from

the value shown!

1. Use a dry cloth to wipe the sensor to remove any con-

tamination that could affect the test result.

2. Push the

Power

button until you hear a signal tone.

The display will switch on.

3. A “Warm up” countdown from 10

to 0 will appear on the display.
Wait until the countdown is com-
plete. A signal will sound once
the countdown is complete.

4. After the “Warm up”, the “Blow”

icon will appear on the display. A
new countdown from 10 to 0 will
appear. The alcohol concentra-
tion in your breath can be meas-
ured during this countdown.

5. During the “Blow” countdown,

hold the sensor up to your mouth
and blow forcefully into the sen-
sor for approx. 3 – 5 seconds.

6. The “Caution” icon will appear

if blood alcohol levels of 0.02 %
BAC (or 0.2 g/l) to 0.05 % BAC
(or 0.5 g/l) are detected.

7. The “Danger” icon will appear

if a blood alcohol level of 0.05
% BAC (or 0.5 g/l) and above is
detected.

8. The device will automatically switch off after a few sec-

onds. A signal will sound when the device switches off.

Tips / notes:

• At least 20 minutes should have passed since you last

consumed alcohol and before the current measure-
ment. Do not eat, smoke or drink during this time.

• Closed, poorly ventilated rooms as well as air-condi-

tioned rooms may affect the accuracy of the reading. If
necessary, measure your BAC 2 – 3 times.

• Saliva and alcohol on the sensor may affect the accu-

racy of the measurements. Use a dry cloth to clean the
sensor/device every time after use.

• If you have not used the device for a prolonged period

of time (or before

rst use), you must perform 2 – 3 test

measurements before you perform the actual meas-
urement.

• Wait approximately 2 – 3 minutes between two meas-

urements.

• Low batteries may affect the accuracy of measure-

ments. Change the batteries when you notice that the
battery power is diminishing.
