Precautions

1. After drinking, smoking and eating, users should wait at least 20
minutes before testing.
2. Avoid testing in strong winds, in a closed room with a heavy amount of
smoke, or where a lot of alcohol is being consumed.
3. When the battery low light is glowing, replace the 9V alkaline battery.
4. Do not blow cigarette smoke, food or liquid into the instrument
because this may damage the sensor.
5. This device is designed to be used in a temperature range of
10– 40 (C) or 50-104 (F). Operation of the unit in temperature ranges
above or below this range may affect the accuracy of results.
6. Do not leave the device connected to an AC/DC outlet when the unit
is not being used.
7. Avoid testing in the presence of any liquids that contain alcohol or
acetone. These substances may interfere with the results of the test.
8. Conditions that increase the amount of ketones on the breath, such
as diabetes and low caloric intake, may cause a false positive test. (i.e.,
showing a non-zero reading despite not drinking alcohol)
9. AN INDIVIDUAL'S BAC CAN CONTINUE TO INCREASE OR
DECREASE OVER TIME, DEPENDING ON MANY FACTORS.
OBTAINING A BAC READING AT ONE TIME DOES NOT MEAN THE
BAC READING WILL BE THE SAME EVEN A FEW MINUTES LATER.
10. DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN
IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE OR WHILE SITTING IN A MOTOR
VEHICLE.
