Precautions
1. After drinking, smoking and eating, users should wait at least 20
minutes before testing. This is because it can take up to 20 minutes for
residual alcohol remaining in the mouth to dissipate.
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. The AlcoHawk™ ABI 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 AlcoHawk™ ABI connected to the car ac/dc adapter
when the unit is not in use.
7. Avoid testing in the presence of any substances that contain methyl
alcohol, isopropyl 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.
9. DO NOT USE THE ALCOHAWK™ ABI AS A TOOL TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU SHOULD OPERATE ANY MOTOR VEHICLE OR
MACHINERY.
10. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. ALWAYS HAVE A DESIGNATED
DRIVER WHEN YOU DRINK ALCOHOL.
