Conducting the Measurement
1. Push the battery compartment cover on the back of the device downwards and
check, if 2 batteries are inserted in the battery compartment. Please take note of the
battery polarity (+/- pole). Close the battery cover again.
2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the front left side of the breathalyzer. Ensure
whether it is securely fitted. It is highly recommended to use a new mouthpiece for
every test for sanitary reasons.
3. Press the start button on the front of the breathalyzer for 2 seconds (it is the top
button). The device beeps once and the display briefly shows the alarm limit, date and
4
time set in the device; in addition, a green and a red light illuminate simultaneously
above the display. „WARMING UP" then appears on the display and at the same time a
line moves from left to right (the unit is warming up).
4. At the end of the warm-up phase, the unit beeps twice and „START BLOW" appears
on the display.
5. As soon as „START BLOW" appears on the display, start blowing gently into the
previously attached mouthpiece for about 3 to 5 seconds until you hear 2 clicks
and then 2 beeps tones (simply exhale slowly and without interruption, similar to
5
whistling). While giving the breath sample you hear a continuous beep and the display
shows „KEEP BLOW".
6. After hearing the 2 clicks and the 2 beep tones the breath sample is successfully
finished and the instrument starts evaluating the measurement result. After a few
6
seconds, the measurement result is displayed with 3 digits (with 2 decimal places
at g/L = per thousand) for 4 seconds.
7. To test again, simply press the start button briefly.

Wait at least 15 minutes after finishing your last drink, otherwise residual alcohol
in your oral cavity will falsify the result.
From hygiene reasons and for accurate measurement results always use a new
mouthpiece for each test.
The default measurement setting for EU is per mill, for UK it is mg/L and for the
USA it is % BAC.
All measured values determined by this breathalyzer are always a guide only
and are not legally binding.
