You can turn the buzzer sound on or off by using ‘On’ or ‘Off’.
2. Low Pass Level
The default number can be set from 0.000 to 0.040%BAC.
Test results higher than this setting but lower than "High Pass Level"
will trigger the yellow "Warning" indicator.
3. Hi Pass Level
The default number can be set from 0.050 to 0.100%BAC.
Results above this setting will trigger the red "Danger" indicator. This
should normally be set to the legal driving limit.

Operating Instructions
The following instructions will be displayed on the LCD screen.
1. KNOW YOUR LIMIT. CHECK YOUR ALCOHOL LEVEL.
WAIT 10 MINUTES AFTER LAST DRINK BEFORE TESTING.
PUSH BUTTON OR INSERT COIN(S), AND TAKE A STRAW.
2. WARMING UP, PLEASE WAIT ...
3. BLOW STEADILY UNTIL TONE ENDS
If you stop blowing before the tone ends or do not blow hard enough throughout
the test, "Flow Error" will be displayed on the LCD screen.
Please wait until "Blow steadily" message is displayed and try again.
4. SAMPLING IS COMPLETED.
"ANALYZING"
5. The test result is displayed.
When the measurement is complete, the blood alcohol concentration result will
appear on the LCD screen. Then the guide will indicate whether or not you can
drive, aided by the face lamp lights. The message for each level is:
Good
Very little of no alcohol has been detected.
Don't drink and drive!
Warning
A moderate amount of alcohol has been detected.
Don't drink and drive!
Danger
A high level of alcohol has been detected.
Don't drink and drive!
1. Blood alcohol concentration can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after the
cessation of drinking.
2. It can take 10 hours or more for the blood alcohol level to return to zero after a
high blood alcohol level has been reached and in such cases, further test should be
carried out later in the day.
3. During testing, any alcohol traces left in your mouth will increase the value of the
blood alcohol concentration level. Remove these traces before testing. Highest
accuracy is achieved 30 minutes after drinking.
4. Cigarette smoke may also increase the blood alcohol concentration value displayed.
Allow one minute after smoking before testing.

1. The machine is plugged in, but there is no power
a. Ensure you are using the correct power adapter for your region and that the
power adapter is functioning.
b. Make sure that the line attached to the power adapter is connected correctly to
the power socket on the bottom of the machine.
2. The machine does not work after a coin is inserted
a. Make sure you use the correct currency & coin denominations. The machine
will only accept the specified set of coin/s; others will be returned.
b. Select ”Coin number“ using the SW2 button, then ensure the corresponding
coin number set on the display window is correct. As explained above, the
machine will work only if you use the specific type / number of coins.
3. There is no buzzer sound
The option for buzzer sound can be selected. In the set up mode, check the status
of the set up as explained above.
4. The machine does not respond after the user blows into the sampling hole
Check if the display window shows “Sensor error”. If it does, the machine may
have a problem. You need to take the action corresponding to the error number
as previously explained under the “Warning Display” heading.
5. The machine does not return to waiting mode after testing
The results are displayed for about 10 seconds. To go back to the measuring
mode, the alcohol blown into the machine must be eliminated completely.
A higher level of alcohol increases the time required for this elimination to be
completed, normally up to 2 minutes for very high readings. If it does take more
than one minute, the sensor may be malfunctioning. Contact customer service if
this is the case.
6. The machine asks the user to take another test after a test has already been
taken.
The button may have been pushed too many times or too many coins were
inserted into the machine. Turn the machine off and then back on again to return
it to its normal operation.

Disclaimers
• This product must be used strictly in accordance with the instructions in
this manual.
• 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
approximate 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 their blood
alcohol concentration or of their level of intoxication or of their 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 them
to believe they were fit to operate a motor vehicle and are subsequently
found not to be so fit.

15
Measurements & Conditions for Test
• Use a clean straw for each test.
• Do not allow samples containing smoke, tobacco or other chemical
products to enter the unit, as damage to the fuel cell can occur.
• There must be an interval of at least 15 minutes after alcohol
consumption as alcohol residue in the mouth may give a false reading.
Such residue may also be left by aromatic drinks, mouthwash, medicines
and drops, as well as by belching and vomiting. Rinsing your mouth with
water or non-alcoholic drinks does not substitute for an interval.
• A person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can continue to rise for up
to 2 hours after drinking alcohol. If a caution results or a result is close
to the designated BAC, it is recommended to wait and retest after 20
minutes.
• It can take 10 hours or more for a person’s BAC to return to zero after a
high BAC has been reached. A further test should be carried out later in
the day or the following morning.
LIABILITY FOR PROPER FUNCTION OR DAMAGE
The liability for proper functioning of the instrument is
irrevocably transferred to the owner or operator in the event the
instrument is serviced or repaired by personnel not employed
or authorised by Andatech. In such an event, the warranty will
be void.
