OPERATION
Wait 20 minutes after the subject smokes, eats or drinks before
testing. Failure to wait 20 minutes can give inaccurate BAC
readings and harm the sensor.
Step 1) Place a fitted cover over the mouthpiece each time you test
another individual.
Step 2) If it has been more than 24 hours since the device was last
used, prime the sensor by blowing into the mouthpiece for 4
to 5 seconds before turning on the device.
Step 3) PRESS the Power Button and HOLD for one (1) second. A
single beep will sound and the device will display the room
temperature.
Note: The device will shut off after 30 seconds of non-use.
Step 4) PRESS the Left Button and the device will count down from 99
as it prepares the sensor for testing.
Note: The device will restart a count down from 10 if the sensor is not
ready within the first countdown.
Step 5) WAIT until the unit displays “rdY” and you hear a SINGLE
BEEP. Take a DEEP BREATH AND BLOW STEADILY for at
least 5 seconds. The unit will display “bL” and count from 1 to 5
while you blow. A SINGLE BEEP sounds to signal completion
of the testing. Your estimated BAC will be displayed in the LCD
and the backlight indicates the alert level.
Note: The device will shut off after 10 seconds of non-use.
