test. Smoke in the exhaled air may cause incorrect results and may damage the
alcohol sensor.

will automatically inform you in advance when it is time for calibration.
To get as accurate result as possible the breath test should be done at room tem-•
perature. AlcoTrue®should be stored in room temperature at least 30 minutes before
