Procedure
1. Remove the safety cap from the top of the device.
2. Insert a new mouthpiece (order no. 83 25 250) into the mouthpiece

You have to blow a volume of 1.2 liter and at least 1.6 seconds for a valid
test. If blowing normally this will take 2-3 seconds. A continuous tone
sounds simultaneously and stops when the test parameters are fulfilled and
the device has taken the sample.
The test result is displayed after a few seconds (depending on the
instrument temperature and the measured concentration).
In case of a negative alcohol test, 0.00 will be displayed. In case of a positive
test, the measured alcohol level will be displayed.
Carry out another measurement
