Changing the Unit of Measurement
You can change the AlcoSense's unit of measurement between mg/l
(Milligrams of alcohol per Litre of Breath ) or ‰BAC (per mil Blood Alcohol
Concentration). The two different units of measurement are two different
scales, like degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit in temperature. You can
change the unit of measurement as follows:
1) With the AlcoSense breathalyser in the closed position hold down the
MODE key until you hear a beep. Then press the mode key repeatedly
until the indicator reaches the UNIT option.
2) Press the SET key. You can now change between ‰BAC and mg/l. Press
the + key to select ‰BAC and press the – key to select mg/l.
3) When you have selected the unit you wish to use, press the SET key once
again and this will save your preferred option.
