This way you receive results that are as accurate as possible
A) Wait at least 15 minutes after your last sip of alcohol. Do not eat, drink or smoke during that time.
B) Do not open the casing.
C) Do not keep the breathalyzer in cold, hot, moist or badly ventilated places.
D) Keep the breathalyzer out of the reach of children.
E) Conduct three inlet tests after long storage before conducting the actual alcohol test.
F) Do not drop the breathalyzer.
G) Change the battery if it is depleted. Diminished battery capacity leads to incorrect test results.
H) Do not conduct tests in loud (sound waves disrupt the sensor), drafty or poorly ventilated places.
I) After a test result of 1.000‰ (per mill = default setting) or higher the sensor needs rest time. In this case
wait at least three minutes before the next test.
J) Do not conduct tests in very cold, very hot or an unventilated, smoky ambience.
K) Store the breathalyzer in a way to avoid penetration by dust or liquids.
L) Blowing too hard may cause damage to the sensor as saliva flows into it.
Preparation for the test
1. If you use the device for the first time you have to remove the small paper inside the battery
compartment which prevents the battery from discharging. Open the battery compartment cover at the
back of the device (push it downwards), pull out the paper and close the battery compartment cover
again. If you exchange old batteries against new ones please mind the battery polarity (+/- pole).
2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the side of the breathalyzer. Ensure whether it securely fits or not.
For sanitary reasons it is highly recommended to use an extra mouthpiece for each test.
Conducting the measurement
1. Push the power button, then you hear one beep sound and shortly will see the number of all tests
performed with the device.
2. After pushing the power button a countdown starts (shown on the display) and the device warms up.
3. At the end of the countdown you see "0" on the display and additionally the device beeps twice. As soon
as you can see "0", start blowing into the mouthpiece. Tip: Blow like you would whistle (without a break).
The device will start beeping when you start blowing.
4. Keep blowing steadily until the beeping stops and you hear a double beep sound. If the breath sample
was not sufficient you will see „FLo" on the display. Push the start button and start a new test.
5. After a successful test the result is displayed after a few seconds. The test result is shown as 3 digit
readout of your blood alcohol level in ‰ (per mill = EU setting) OR mg/L (= UK setting) OR % BAC (= US
setting). If the test result is higher than 0.50‰ or 0.25mg/L or 0.05% BAC then you can hear a warn signal
(beep sound) for about 10 seconds.
Please note: The device puts itself off automatically approx. 15 seconds after showing the test result or 10
seconds after not using it – additionally you hear a beep sound and you will see "Out" on the display.
The accuracy of this device is of +/- 0.05‰ (per mill = default setting) with reference to 1.00‰. For devices
with UK measurement unit the tolerance is +/- 0.025mg/L with reference to 0.50mg/L, for devices with US
measurement unit the tolerance is +/- 0.005% BAC with reference to 0.100% BAC.

ACE Instruments recommends
ALWAYS USE A NEW MOUTHPIECE FOR EACH PERSON AND TEST THAT IS CONDUCTED.
ACE INSTRUMENTS ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES WHICH ARISE WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE
USE THE SAME MOUTHPIECE FOR MULTIPLE TESTS.
ONLY USE THE PROVIDED SINGLE PACKED AND HYGIENIC MOUTHPIECES - MORE ARE AVAILABLE AT
WWW.ALKOMAT.NET.
DURING EACH TEST THE BREATHALYZER´S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS COME INTO CONTACT
WITH HUMAN SECRETION (SALIVA, BLOOD, SWEAT, ETC.)! USE DISPOSABLE GLOVES WHEN PULLING OUT
A MOUTHPIECE USED BY ANOTHER PERSON! YOU CAN BUY APPROPRIATE GLOVES E.G. AT ACE TECHNIK
(WWW.ACE-TECHNIK.DE).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNKEN ALCOHOL OR SMOKED A CIGARETTE,
WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE MEASUREMENT. ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR TO
THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE RESULTS.
IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0.10‰ (PER MILL) OR 0.050 mg/L (UK settting) OR 0.010% BAC (US setting)
THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (‰ OR mg/L OR % BAC – depending on the setting) ON THE DISPLAY.
THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE
OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR MOUTH.
This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive measurement device. To maintain the accuracy of the
sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is not used for an extended period of time, the
sensor can dry out. ACE Instruments recommends to use the breathalyzer at least 2 times per month
(even if you have not been drinking alcohol).
Due to changes in the product, the procedures stated can change. This can take place without prior notice
or adaptation of the operating manual and is no cause for complaint, return or price reduction. The user is
responsible for recognizing discrepancies between the operating manual and the actual handling of the
breathalyzer and must react accordingly.

ACE INSTRUMENTS ADVISES
EVEN IF YOU GET A RESULT MEANING „SAFE RANGE", YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE AFTER CONSUMING
ALCOHOL OR DO ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE SEVERELY IMPAIRED BY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
