Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for accurate BAC testing:
- Power On: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the device. The LCD screen will illuminate.
- Warm-up: The device will display a warm-up countdown (typically 20 seconds). Wait for the countdown to complete. During this time, the sensor is preparing for an accurate reading.
- Begin Test: Once the warm-up is complete, the screen will indicate it's ready for a breath sample. Blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece for 5-6 seconds. Ensure a consistent breath flow.
- View Results: After blowing, the device will process the sample for approximately 3 seconds. Your BAC result will then be displayed on the LCD screen for 15 seconds.
- Auto Power-Off: The device will automatically power off after 5 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Important Testing Notes:
- For the most accurate results, wait at least 20 minutes after consuming alcohol before performing a test. This allows alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
- Wait at least 3 minutes between consecutive tests to ensure sensor accuracy and prevent residual alcohol from affecting readings.
- Avoid testing in strong winds, smoke, or highly polluted environments, as these can affect accuracy.
Key Features
- Multiple Measurement Units: The device supports 6 common BAC units, allowing users to select their preferred display: %BAC-US, g/l-EU, mg/L-JP, mg/100ml-CN, ‰BAC-RU, ‰prom-PL.
- Customizable Caution & Alarm Values: Users can set personalized caution and alarming thresholds. If the test result exceeds 0.05% BAC / 0.5 ‰ BAC, the red light will flash, and a continuous beep will sound to alert the user.
- Memory Function: The breathalyzer can store up to 32 of your most recent testing records, allowing for easy review and tracking of your BAC history.
- Energy-Saving Design: Features automatic power-off after 5 seconds of inactivity and a low voltage indication to alert you when batteries need replacement.
