To take another breath test, wait at least 3 seconds from when the test

Recalibration & Service
The AlcoSense® Zenith+ uses a fuel cell sensor to measure breath alcohol
levels. Depending upon the amount of alcohol registered by the sensor after a
period of time, it will require recalibration.
Andatech recommends the AlcoSense® Zenith+ is calibrated every 6 months.
To maintain it to Australian Standards, calibration every 7 months is required.
Please visit my.andatech.com.au to register your breathalyser and book in a
calibration.
The breath sample was not strong enough to detect a reading. After
warm up, please blow strong and steadily into the mouthpiece.
The battery power is low. Please replace the batteries with new alkaline
batteries.
If you test over 1000 tests, the Zenith+ will display the CAL sign for sec-
onds before warming up. The CAL sign will provide the appropriate time
for calibrating the sensor.
System error – Please send the breathalyser back to the supplier for
repair.
System error – Please send the breathalyser back to the supplier for
repair.
Reading is over 0.200%BAC.
Warning Display
Personal mouthpiece
The Zenith+ features a built-in permanent mouthpiece for personal use.
Push the hook to the side to extend the mouthpiece for personal testing.
To use a separate mouthpiece with the breathalyser, simply insert the
mouthpiece into the mouthpiece slot.

Warranty
The manufacturer warrants for 3 years from the date of purchase, the product to be
free from defects in workmanship or material (excluding recalibration) under normal
use. The manufacturer’s obligation under this warranty is limited to replacing,
adjusting or repairing the unit if returned along with proof of purchase. This warranty
is void if the unit has been tampered with, damaged or abused in any way.
Warnings
a. Allow at least 20 minutes after eating or drinking before testing. Any type of
alcohol remaining in the mouth of saliva may interfere with proper testing
and requires about 20 minutes to disperse. This includes alcohol-based
mouthwash or similar products.
b. Avoid testing in high wind conditions or in poorly ventilated or enclosed spaces.
Poor ventilation may also lengthen the time required for warm up between tests.
c. Do not blow smoke, saliva or other contaminants into the mouthpiece, as the
sensor may become damaged. Wait at least 20 minutes after smoking before
conducting a test.
d. Do not use the breathalyser as a tool to drink and drive.
e. Do not blow fluid into the instrument as it will damage the sensor and void your
warranty.
f. Do not store in an extreme environment where high temperature or high
humidity exists. Keep out of the reach of children.
g. To maintain accuracy, we recommend professional recalibration every 6 months.
h. Blood alcohol concentration can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after the
cessation of drinking. If a caution result or a result is close to the designated
BAC, it is recommended to wait and retest after 20 minutes.
i. It can take 10 hours or more for the alcohol level to return to a zero after a high
blood alcohol level has been reached. A further test should be carried out later
in the day of the following morning.
j. User-serviceable batteries safety:
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
• Do not recharge a battery unless it is specifically marked “rechargeable”.
• Do not expose Zenith+ or batteries to heat source.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or mix different types or makes of batteries.
• Do not allow children to play with the batteries.

Disclaimer
PLEASE NOTE:
This product must be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual
and – in particular - must not be allowed to get wet.
This product is intended to provide the user with an indication of alcohol on the
breath. However, neither the manufacturer nor the supplier gives any warranty
(express or implied) that the product can give any indication of blood alcohol
level.
A person’s BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) can only be accurately measured
by the administration of a blood test. This product only measures breath alcohol
content which, in turn, only gives an approximately indication of blood alcohol
concentration.
In these circumstances the user of this product should not rely on the
information provided thereby as an accurate indication of his blood alcohol
concentration or of his level of intoxication or of his fitness to drive and in
particular should not take any action in reliance on such information as the
product can provide no more than an indication of alcohol on the breath.
If the user of this product makes any decision or takes any action based on the
use of the product such decision or such action shall be at the sole risk of the
user and neither the manufacturer nor the supplier assumes any responsibility
for such decision or action. In particular, neither the manufacturer nor the
supplier shall be in any way liable if the user of the product asserts that the
product led him to believe that he was fit to operate a motor vehicle and is
subsequently found not to be so fit.
This product is certified pursuant to Australian Standard AS 3547 as a type 2
hand held quantitative device.
