5. Use Guide
5.1 Initial Setup and Charging
- Remove the device from the packaging.
- Locate the micro-USB port on the device.
- Connect the included USB cable to the device and a standard USB power adapter (not included) or computer port.
- Charge fully before first use. The battery indicator on the LCD will show the charging status.
5.2 Preparing for a Test
Important: For accurate results, wait at least 15-20 minutes after your last drink or after smoking before testing. Do not consume any alcohol during this waiting period.
- Ensure the device is powered on.
- Take a new, unused mouthpiece (nozzle) from the package.
- Insert the narrow end of the mouthpiece firmly into the mouthpiece socket on the device. A click may be heard.
- The display should show a countdown or ready indicator. Wait for the device to signal it is ready to accept a sample (often a beep or change on the screen).
5.3 Performing a Test
- Take a deep breath and place your lips tightly around the mouthpiece.
- Blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece for at least 5 seconds or until the device beeps/vibrates to indicate a sufficient sample has been taken.
- Remove the device from your mouth and keep it still.
- The device will analyze the sample. The result will be displayed on the LCD screen within a few seconds.
- Note the reading and the unit of measurement (e.g., 0.05 %BAC).
- Dispose of the used mouthpiece. Do not reuse mouthpieces as it can contaminate the sensor and provide inaccurate results.
5.4 Interpreting Results
- If the reading is below 0.1 ‰ BAC, 0.01% BAC, or 0.05 mg/L, the display may show "0.00".
- The device has a preset alert level of 0.5‰ BAC. Results at or above this level may trigger a specific warning indicator.
- Familiarize yourself with the legal driving limits in your region, which are often much lower than the device's alert level.
5.5 Using the Memory Function
- After a test, the result is automatically stored in memory.
- To review past results, press the memory button (labeled "i" or similar).
- Press the button repeatedly to scroll backward through the last 10 test results.
5.6 Using the Emergency Safety Hammer
- Unscrew the battery cap located on the back or bottom of the device.
- Remove the small, pointed safety hammer stored inside the compartment.
- Use the pointed end to break a car window in an emergency by striking a corner of the glass.
- After use, you can place the hammer back into the cap for storage.
6. Care and Maintenance
- Sensor Care: Always use a new mouthpiece for each test to prevent contamination.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use chemicals. Never clean the sensor inlet.
- Storage: Store in the provided box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Battery: Recharge the device when the battery indicator on the display is low. Use only the provided cable.
- Calibration: Semiconductor sensors may drift over time. For consistent accuracy, consider periodic calibration as per local regulations or manufacturer advice (service not detailed in provided content).
7. Troubleshooting
- No Power/Display: Ensure the device is charged. Connect to USB power.
- Inconsistent or Erratic Readings: Ensure you waited 15-20 minutes after drinking/smoking. Use a new mouthpiece. Blow steadily for the full duration.
Error Code/Display: Power the device off and on again. If the problem persists, the sensor may need servicing.
- Device Does Not Accept Blow: Check that a mouthpiece is properly attached. Ensure you are blowing hard and steadily for at least 5 seconds.
