2.3 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the device using the provided Type-C power cord and a compatible DC5V/1A power adapter. Charging time is approximately 60 minutes.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On/Off
Press and hold the On/Off key (8) to power on the device. The device will perform a brief self-check. To power off, press and hold the On/Off key again.
3.2 Testing Modes
The device offers two primary testing modes:
- Precision Mode: For highly accurate detection, install a mouthpiece onto the air intake nozzle (1). This mode is recommended for individual, precise measurements.
- Quick Check Mode: For non-contact, hygienic screening suitable for multiple users, no mouthpiece is required. Simply blow directly into the air intake nozzle.
3.3 Performing a Test
- Power on the device.
- If using Precision Mode, attach a clean mouthpiece.
- Wait for the device to indicate readiness (e.g., a prompt on the IPS display (2) or a voice prompt).
- Blow steadily into the air intake nozzle (1) for approximately 5 seconds.
- The device will process the sample, and the result will be displayed on the IPS screen (2) within 1-15 seconds. Voice prompts will also announce the result.
3.4 Interpreting Results
The device displays alcohol concentration in various units and provides visual and auditory feedback:
- Green Indicator Light: Indicates a low or zero alcohol level (e.g., 0.000% BAC - "Not drinking").
- Yellow Indicator Light: Indicates a moderate alcohol level (e.g., 0.038% BAC - "Drinking status").
- Red Indicator Light: Indicates a high alcohol level (e.g., 0.088% BAC - "Drunkenness").
4. Maintenance

7. User Tips
- For most accurate results, wait at least 20 minutes after consuming alcohol or smoking before performing a test. This allows alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream and mouth alcohol to dissipate.
- Ensure a continuous and steady breath for the entire 5-second blowing time. Inconsistent blowing can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Always use a fresh mouthpiece for each individual test in Precision Mode to maintain hygiene and accuracy.
- Keep the device charged to ensure it's ready when needed.
- Remember that this device is for personal use and informational purposes only. It should not be used to determine fitness to drive or operate machinery.
