Dear customer
Congratulations on buying your new AlcoSense Pro breathalyser.
Now, if you are drinking, you are more aware of your alcohol level before you get
into the car and possibly drive dangerously.
We hope you enjoy owning your AlcoSense Pro breathalyser. If you have any
questions regarding the unit or want to speak with us further, please visit
andatech.com.au or call 1300 800 200 (between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday).
When the unit is turned off, press and hold the Power Switch. The unit will display
the last number of tests, and . Release the Power Switch when it
displays to operate the unit in Normal mode, or release it when it displays
to operate it in Fast mode.
Wait 20 minutes after your last alcohol drink. It takes approx. 20 minutes
for alcohol to have an effect on your system and for residual alcohol
remaining in mouth to dissipate.
Attach the mouthpiece to the unit. Press and hold the Power Switch.
Release the Power Switch when displaying and wait while the Pro
counts down from to warm up.
The unit will beep twice and a yellow light will appear beside “READY” to
indicate it is ready for you to start. Begin blowing through the mouthpiece
into the unit for 5-10 seconds or until the unit beeps twice.
You will see the unit displaying the digit moving left to right as it is
analysing the sample.
After analysis is complete, you will see the blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) results displayed. The result will be displayed for 15 seconds
before automatically turning off.

Step 5:
Once your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, the “WARN” light will flicker
along with the alarm sound.
Instructions must be followed to ensure accurate test results. This unit can be
operated in Normal Mode and Fast Mode, as described below.
Normal Mode Operation

When the unit is turned off, press and hold the Power Switch. The unit will display
the last number of tests, and . Release the Power Switch when it
displays to operate the unit in Normal mode, or release it when it displays
to operate it in Fast mode.
Fast Mode Operation
Test will be quicker and more convenient for mass testing, but results will be given
in BAC ranges, rather than a numerical reading.
With the unit switched off, press and hold the Power Switch.
Release the Power Switch when displaying and wait while the unit
counts down from to warm up.
The unit will beep twice and display to indicate fast mode operation
and it is ready for you to start.
Begin blowing into the unit for about 1-2 seconds or until the unit beeps
twice. You will see the unit displaying digit moving left to right as it is
analysing the sample.

HOW:
How to clean breathalyser mouthpieces
For personal use, the mouthpieces are reusable if cleaned properly. For
hygiene reasons, replacement is recommended after every 3 months of
use. To reorder, contact your retailer, or call us on 1300 800 200.
1. Remove the mouthpiece from breathalyser.
2. Put the mouthpiece in hot water for 2 minutes.
3. Wipe thoroughly and dry the mouthpiece before use.
Limits
AUSTRALIAN BLOOD ALCOHOL LIMITS: Adult License 0.05%
Some drivers are restricted to lower levels of BAC. Please refer to your local transport
authority for your correct limit. If in any doubt do not drink and drive.
The safest level when driving is none at all. Alcohol impairs your judgement and can make
you drowsy or sleepy.

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 Pro 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. WARNING DISPLAY – FLO: If you see in the display, the breath sample was
not strong enough for measurement. Please power up the unit again and make sure
the breath is strong and steady during sampling.
k. WARNING DISPLAY – CAL or SEN: If you see or in the display, the unit
requires recalibration or maintenance. Please head to my.andatech.com.au to book
it in, or call 1300 800 200.
l. WARNING DISPLAY – BAT: If you see in the display, the unit is indicating that
battery power is low. Please replace the batteries. Remove the battery cover at the
bottom of the unit and replace the old batteries with two new 1.5V AA batteries. Make
sure to properly align the batteries by looking at the +/- marks.
m. 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 the AlcoSense®Pro 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.

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 qualitative device.

The AlcoSense®Pro uses a semiconductor 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®
Pro to be calibrated every 6 months or after 200 uses, whichever comes first.
For technical support please contact 1300 800 200.
