OPERATION
Operating Instructions
Wait 20 minutes after you smoke, eat or drink before testing. Fail-
ure to wait 20 minutes can give wrong BAC readings and damage
the sensor.
Step 1) Insert a NEW MOUTHPIECE each time you perform a test.
Step 2) If it has been more than 24 hours since the device was last
used,
PRIME THE SENSOR by blowing into the mouthpiece
for 4 to 5 seconds before turning on the device.
Step 3) PRESS the Power On/Off button. A single beep will sound and
the unit will display the temperature in Fahrenheit (F).
Note: If the unit reads a temperature below 50 F, “Cool” appears on
the LCD display to warn the user that the temperature is lower than the
suggested testing range. If the temperature is above 104 F, “Hot” appears
on the LCD display to warn the user that the temperature at the time of
testing is higher than the suggested testing range.
Step 4) After the temperature scan, WAIT until the COUNTDOWN IS
COMPLETE and you hear a SINGLE BEEP. The unit will
display “RDY” when the device is ready for use.
Note: The unit will restart the countdown at 10 if the sensor is not ready
after the initial countdown from 60.
Note: The device will not shut off until a test is performed or until 15
seconds of non use elapses.
