PRECAUTIONS
1. Wait at least 20 minutes after drinking, eating or
smoking before testing. Not observing this waiting
period can cause inaccurate readings and damage
the sensor.
2. Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the
BACtrack as this will damage the sensor.
3. Do not test in areas with strong winds, smoke, or in
an area where a large amount of alcohol is being
consumed.
4. Replace the two AA batteries when the battery
indicator icon reaches one bar.
5. Send your tester in for periodic calibration service as
required. (See calibration).
6. The BACtrack Breathalyzer is designed to be used in
a temperature range of 32-104 °F (0-40 °C).
7. Avoid testing in the presence of any substances
that contain methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or
acetone. These substances may interfere with the
results of the test.
8. You cannot use the results of this product in court.
9. Do not use the BACtrack as a tool to determine
whether you should operate a motor vehicle or
equipment, or perform any other dangerous act.
10. Do not drink and drive. Always have a designated
driver when alcohol is being consumed.

VERIFICATION AND
CALIBRATION
The BACtrack is calibrated during manufacture using
advanced alcohol simulation equipment. Known alcohol
concentrations are passed through the sensor to set baseline
values for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’
breath samples to these baseline values.
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six
to twelve months of normal use, depending on the number
of tests performed and operating conditions.
If this product is providing inconsistent test results, is not
providing any test results, or provides unusually high or low
test results, the product should be recalibrated immediately
by a trained professional.
The product should be recalibrated at least every six
to twelve months depending on frequency of use and
operating conditions. We recommend sending the unit in for
calibration after 200 tests have been performed, or every 6
to 12 months if less than 200 tests have been performed. If
the product is used every day, it may need to be recalibrated
as frequently as every month.
Calibration Instructions
Please visit www.bactrack.com/calibration or call 877-
334-6876 for information on how to get your BACtrack
Breathalyzer recalibrated. Calibrations are an important
part of the maintenance of your breathalyzer and should be
performed regularly.
During recalibration, a professional technician will reset the
sensor baseline values and also perform a full diagnostic
check to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the product.
