Q3 Innovations AlcoHAWK PT750 - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
This Breath Alcohol Tester is intended to measure alcohol in human
breath. Readings obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of
alcohol intoxication. The accuracy of this device has been established at
a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.008 and 0.032. Accuracy at a
BAC greater than .032 has not been established.
Overview
This Tester provides a digital reading of a person’s approximate BAC in
seconds. The AlcoHAWK ® PT750 is powered by a rechargeable lithium
battery that in general lasts about 200 tests when fully charged. Please
read the entire manual before use.
Effects of Alcohol
Variations among people and other factors, such as altitude and air
temperature, affect the degree of intoxication. Some people may
become intoxicated at low BAC levels. A low BAC on a breath alcohol
tester does not mean that a person’s reaction times can respond to any
emergency encountered. You should not drink alcohol and drive or use
any machinery after consuming alcohol. There is no safe way to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe.
Calibration
It is very important to have the instrument calibrated as recommended
in this owner’s manual (see Calibration, pg. 13). Failure to do so may
result in readings that are inaccurate.
