cation. The accuracy of this device has been proven at a Blood Alcohol

Precision is
powered by a 9 volt battery that generally lasts between 100-200 tests
when using an alkaline battery. Please read this entire manual before

Effects of Alcohol
Variations among people and other factors, such as altitude and air tem-
perature, affect the degree of intoxication. Some people may become in-
toxicated 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.
You should not drink alcohol and drive or use any machines after
consuming alcohol. There is no safe way to drive under the influence of
alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe.
