INTRODUCTION

Intended Use

This Breath Alcohol Tester is intended to measure alcohol in human

breath. Readings obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of

alcohol intoxication. The accuracy of this device has been established at

a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.008 and 0.032. Accuracy at a

BAC greater than .032 has not been established.

Overview

This Tester provides a digital reading of a person's approximate BAC in

seconds. The AlcoHAWK® PT500P is powered by two (2) AA batteries

that generally last between 200-300 tests when using alkaline batteries.

Please read this entire manual before use.

Effects of Alcohol

Variations among people and other factors, such as altitude and air

temperature, affect the degree of intoxication. Some people may

become intoxicated at low BAC levels. A low BAC on a breath alcohol

tester does not mean that a person's reaction times can respond to any

emergency encountered. You should not drink alcohol and drive or use

any machinery after consuming alcohol. There is no safe way to drive

under the influence of alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe.

Calibration

It is very important to have the instrument calibrated as recommended

in this owner's manual (see Calibration, pg. 10). Failure to do so may

result in readings that are inaccurate.
