Do’s and Don’ts
Do's
DO...Change or charge batteries when
Low Battery
appears.
DO...When changing batteries, replace
BOTH
cells.
DO...Use the correct mouthpiece for this instrument.
DO...Use a clean, new mouthpiece for each
COMPLETE
breath test.
DO...Ensure the subject blows into the lipped
end
of the mouthpiece.
DO...Read this handbook carefully, and comply with its contents.

mouthpiece for calibration checking.
Don’ts
DO NOT...Test the subject if the operator thinks he may have drunk or
taken
ANYTHING
by mouth in the last 20 minutes
DO NOT...Test the subject if he has smoked in the last 2 minutes.
DO NOT...Let the subject hyperventilate before supplying breath. This
cools the mouth and upper airways, so that alcohol is lost (by
condensation) from the breath on expiration, and so produces a
falsely low reading of the body alcohol loading. If necessary, wait a
minute or so before proceeding to take the breath sample, after any
such action by the subject.
DO NOT...Store the
lion alcolmeter® 700
in extremes of temperature, hot
or cold.
DO NOT...Subject the
lion alcolmeter® 700
to violent shock.
DO NOT...Clean the case with chemical or abrasive products.
DO NOT...Allow the sampling port to become blocked.
DO NOT...Block or restrict the end of the mouthpiece while the subject is
blowing. This can seriously damage the instrument.
DO NOT...Re-use mouthpieces, for hygiene
and
accuracy.
DO NOT...Open the case: this will invalidate the warranty/service.
DO NOT...Deviate from the instructions in this handbook.
