which likely means the user did not exhale steadily
and continuously for at least 5 seconds. Repeat
test.

unit did not detect an even alcohol concentration
in the breath sample. This can occur if the user
varies the blowing force when performing a test or
if the Exhaust Port (see Components Diagram) is
obstructed. Repeat test.

The unit detected a very high alcohol concentration
(above 0.400% BAC).

serviced.
