Safety Information
• Always use genuine Andatech parts and accessories. Using non-genuine parts and
accessories for the device will not only risk providing inaccurate results, but may also
damage the device.
• Calibrate and service the device hardware and software only with authorised Andatech
service centres to avoid damage and voiding your product warranty.
• Wait at least 20 minutes after eating or drinking before testing. Alcohol remaining in the
mouth, or even excess saliva, may interfere with testing. This includes alcohol-based
mouthwash or similar products, which include any alcohol ingredient.
• Avoid testing in high wind or enclosed spaces. Poor ventilation may also lengthen the
time required for warm up between tests.
• Do not blow smoke, saliva or other contaminants into the sampling hole, as the sensor
may become damaged.
• Hold the device directly to the subject for accurate results. Other positions may not give
you accurate results.
• Handle the device with care. Poor handling, physical impact, or electrical shock can
cause premature device failures.
• Do not store the device in environments with extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, dirt
and dust.
• Store the device beyond children’s reach.
• Any service in regard to the device should be performed by authorized service partners
only.

•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.

Measurements & Conditions for Test
•Useacleanmouthpiece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.
