The

wish
to
replace
the mouthpiece
for
use by
another
person
for
sanitary
reasons.
To change
mouthpieces,
align
the
slot
in
the
mouthpiece
with
the
slot
on
the
breath
pipe.
Operation:

Take
a
deep
breath,
then blow

and
continuously
(at

another
BEEP.
Your
lips
should

After
the

seconds,
the
test
result
will
be
displayed
for
15
seconds.

Understanding
the
Results
For
many
years, the legal
standard
for
drunkenness
across
the
United
States
was
0.10,
but
many
states
have
now
adopted
the
0.08
standard.
The
federal
government
has
pushed
states
to
lower
the legal
limit. The
American
Medical
Association
says
that
a
person
can
become
impaired
when
the
blood
alcohol
level hits
0.05.
You
should
never
drive
an
automobile
when you
are
impaired
by
alcohol,
drugs,
or lack
of
proper
rest.
Precautions
1.
You should
wait
20
minutes
after
eating
or
drinking
before testing.
Any alcohol
remaining
in
the
mouth
or saliva
takes
this
long
to
disperse
and
will
interfere with the
reading.
2.
Avoid
testing
in
a strong
wind
or in
a
closed
room
with
dirty
air.
3. When
the
"BATT LOW"
LED
is on,
replace
9V
alkaline
battery.
4.
Do
not
blow
smoke
or
liquid into
the
unit.
It will
damage
the
sensor.
Wait
1
minute
after
smoking
before
a
test.
5.
Although CA2000
analyzes
alcohol
level
accurately,
do
not
use
it
as a
tool
to
drink
and
drive.
6.
Store the unit
between
32-104
(
0
F)
and
out
of
the
reach
of
children.
7. Do not leave
CA
2000
car
adaptor
hooked
up to
cigar
jack.
8.
In
normal use,
CA
2000
requires
calibration
every
12
months
to
obtain accurate
results. Discuss
with
local
distributors
for
calibration.
