EN – Operating Manual
ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS
•
Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and
test that is conducted. ACE Instruments assumes no
liability for any damages that may arise when several
people use the same mouthpiece for multiple tests.
•
Only use the provided individually packaged
and hygienic mouthpieces. During each test the
breathalyzer' s internal and external parts come into
contact with human secretion (saliva, blood, sweat, etc.)!
•
Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece
used by another person! You can buy appropriate
gloves at ACE Technik (www.ace-technik.de).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
•
WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNKEN ALCOHOL
OR SMOKED A CIGARETTE, WAIT AT LEAST
15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE
MEASUREMENT. ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR TO
THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING
PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE RESULTS.
•
IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0.05‰ BAC
(PER MILL = g/L) OR 0.005% BAC (US setting) OR
0.025mg/L (UK settting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS
0.00 (‰ OR % BAC OR mg/L – depending on the
setting) ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE
AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN
YOUR MOUTH.
•
This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive
measurement device. To maintain the accuracy of
the sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is
not used for an extended period of time, the sensor
can dry out. ACE Instruments recommends using the
breathalyzer at least 2 times per month (even if you
have not been drinking alcohol).
•
Due to changes in the product, the procedures stated
can change. This can take place without prior notice
or adaptation of the operating manual and is no cause
for complaint, return or price reduction. The user is
responsible for recognizing discrepancies between
the operating manual and the actual handling of the
breathalyzer and must react accordingly.
