General Information about DUI/DWI

The legal limit for intoxication (DUI/DWI) has recently been lowered from 0.10%

to 0.080% BAC across most of the USA. According to the American Medical

Association (AMA), a BAC of 0.050% is enough to impair the ability to drive. You

should never operate a motor vehicle when you are impaired by the consumption

of alcohol, drugs or lack of proper rest.

Warnings

a. Wait at least 20 minutes after eating or drinking before testing. Alcohol

remaining in the mouth, or even excess saliva, may interfere with testing.

This includes alcohol-based mouthwash or similar products.

b. Avoid testing in high wind or enclosed spaces. Poor ventilation may also

lengthen the time required for warm up between tests.

c. Do not blow smoke, saliva or other contaminants into the mouthpiece, as the

sensor may become damaged.

d. Do NOT use the AlcoMate Prestige as a tool to drink and drive.

e. Keep out of extreme temperatures and out of the reach of children.

To maintain accuracy, we recommend replacing the alcohol sensor module

inside the AlcoMate Prestige approximately every 200~300 tests, or at least

once a year.

g. WARNING DISPLAY "Flo": If you see "Flo" in the display, the breath

sample was not strong enough for measurement. Please try again and make

sure the breath is strong and steady during sampling.

h. WARNING DISPLAY "Cal": If you see "Cal" in the display, the unit requires

sensor module replacement. It is recommended that you use the cumulative

test counter to determine when you should replace the sensor module. The

cumulative test count can be seen by pressing and continuously holding

down the Power Button on startup. The "Cal" message may or may not

display regularly when sensor replacement is actually necessary.

WARNING DISPLAY "Bat": If you see "Bat" in the display, the battery power

is low. Please replace the batteries.

Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the unit and

replace the old batteries with two new 1.5V "AA" batteries.

Make sure to properly align the batteries by looking at the +/-

marks.
