Udførelse af en test
- Wait 15-20 Minutes: Before testing, wait at least 15-20 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking. This allows any residual alcohol in your mouth to dissipate, ensuring an accurate sample from your lungs.
- Tænd: Press and hold the power button located on the front of the device. The device will emit a short beep and begin a warm-up countdown.
- Forbered dig på at blæse: Once the countdown reaches zero, the display will show "BLOW" and emit another beep. This indicates the device is ready for a breath sample.
- Provide Breath Sampdet: Take a deep breath and blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece for approximately 5 seconds, or until you hear a click sound. Ensure a consistent airflow.
- View Resultater: After a few seconds, your estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) will be displayed on the screen. The result will remain on the screen for several seconds before the device automatically powers off.

Important Testing Considerations
- Do not test immediately after consuming alcohol, as this can lead to inaccurate high readings due to mouth alcohol.
- Avoid testing in areas with strong fumes, smoke, or other airborne contaminants.
- Allow at least 2-3 minutes between consecutive tests to ensure sensor accuracy and battery life.
- The device is designed for personal use and should not be used to determine fitness to drive or operate machinery.
Opretholdelse
Rengøring af enheden
- Wipe the exterior of the breathalyzer with a soft, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller nedsænk enheden i vand.
- Mouthpieces can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and air-dried, or replaced with new ones for optimal hygiene.

When the battery is low, the device may display a "Lo" message or fail to power on. Replace the AAA battery as described in the "Setup" section.
