% BAC or in mg/L, press the left button – with the 3rd press
you will see the unit ‰ (per mil = g/L) again.
Note: It is recommended to wait at least 5 minutes between

ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS
•
Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and
test that is conducted. ACE Instruments assumes no
liability for any damages that may arise when several
people use the same mouthpiece for multiple tests.
•
Only use the provided individually packaged
and hygienic mouthpieces. During each test the
breathalyzer' s internal and external parts come into
contact with human secretion (saliva, blood, sweat, etc.)!
•
Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece
used by another person! You can buy appropriate
gloves at ACE Technik (www.ace-technik.de).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
•
WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNKEN ALCOHOL
OR SMOKED A CIGARETTE, WAIT AT LEAST
15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE
MEASUREMENT. ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR
TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED
WAITING PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE
RESULTS.
•
IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0. 1 0‰ (PER MILL
= g/L) OR 0.01% BAC (US setting) OR 0.05mg/L
(UK setting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (‰
OR % BAC OR mg/L – depending on the setting)
ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE AT A
LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IT
IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN
YOUR MOUTH.
•
This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive
measurement device. To maintain the accuracy of
the sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is
not used for an extended period of time, the sensor
can dry out. ACE Instruments recommends using the
breathalyzer at least 2 times per month (even if you
have not been drinking alcohol).
