Tips to Receive the Most Accuracte Results
A) Wait at least 15 minutes after your last sip of alcohol. Do not
eat, drink or smoke during that time.
B) Do not open the casing.
C) Do not keep the breathalyzer in cold, hot, moist or badly ven-
tilated places.
D) Keep the breathalyzer out of the reach of children.
E) Conduct three inlet tests after long storage before conduc-
ting the actual alcohol test.
F) Do not drop the breathalyzer.
G) Change the battery if it is depleted. Diminished battery capa-
city leads to incorrect test results.
H) Do not conduct tests in loud (sound waves disrupt the sen-
sor), drafty or poorly ventilated places. I) After a test result of
1.000 per mill (per mill = EU setting) / 0.100 % BAC (% BAC = US
setting) / 0.500 mg/L (mg/L = UK setting) or higher the sensor
needs rest time. In this case wait at least three minutes before
starting the next test.
J) Do not conduct tests in very cold, very hot or an unventilated,
smoky ambience.
K) Store the breathalyzer in a way to avoid penetration by dust
or liquids.
L) Blowing too hard may cause damage to the sensor as saliva
flows into it.
Preparation for the Test
1. Push the battery cover (on the back of the device) downwards
and open it. Install the 2 AAA batteries (delivered together with
the device) in the battery compartment while taking note of the
battery polarity. Close the battery cover again.
2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the left front side of the
breathalyzer. Ensure whether it securely fits or not. It is highly
recommended to use an extra mouthpiece for every test for
sanitary reasons.
Conducting the Measurement
1. Press the power button (on the front
of the unit) for 2 seconds to turn on,
after releasing the power button you
will hear a beep. The total number of
tests performed with the device so far
appears briefly.
2. Afterwards a second beep can
be heard and the number of days
remaining until the next calibration
time will appear. When this is reached,
a blue light flashes on the left and
right edges of the display and "CAL"
also appears on the display.

3. After the calibration time is
displayed, a third beep is heard and
the instrument warms up during a
countdown. When it reaches the
number "2", take a deep breath to
prepare for your breath test.
4. When the countdown is over, you
will hear a double beep and 3 lines
will appear at the left edge of the
display. In addition, the word "START"
flashes on the display. You can now
begin the breath test.
5. Now blow constantly and without
pause for about 5 seconds until
you hear a clack tone and a double
beep. A continuous beeping sound
is heard during the breath test. TIP:
Blow the breath sample like this, i.e.
if you would whistle without sound. If
the test was successful, dashed lines
will move at the corner of the display
(see picture on the left). The display
"FLo" means that your breath sample
was not sufficient. Press the start
button again for 2 seconds and start
a new test.
6. If the breath sample was sufficient,
the flashing result of the estimated
breath alcohol content is displayed for
about 12 seconds after a few seconds.
As soon as the result stops flashing,
you can start a new test. Press the
start button again for 2 seconds.
Note: The device switches off automatically after approx.
30 seconds without any further testing - 1 beep is heard shortly
before and „Out" appears on the display: Another beep sounds
and the device switches off completely. You can also switch
off the breathalyzer manually by pressing the start button for
2-3 seconds, a beep will sound shortly before switching off and
„Off" will appear on the display at the same time.
