Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for an accurate breath alcohol test:
- Power On: Press and hold the power button for approximately 1 second. The device will emit a beep, and the LCD display will light up.
- Warm-up: The device will display "WARM UP" and count down from 10 to 0. This indicates the sensor is preparing for testing.

Understanding Results
The Oasser T1 Breathalyzer displays results in %BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). The interpretation of these results is for informational purposes only.
- 0.00% BAC: Indicates no alcohol detected.
- Low BAC Readings: Small amounts of alcohol detected.
- Higher BAC Readings: Indicates increased alcohol presence.
Important: Legal limits for driving vary by region. A low reading does not guarantee that you are fit to drive or that you are below the legal limit. Always exercise caution and responsible judgment.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Mouthpieces: The provided mouthpieces are reusable after cleaning. Wash them with warm water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before reuse. Replace mouthpieces if they show signs of wear or damage.
- Storage: Store the breathalyzer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
