Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Accensione

Press and hold the power button until the device powers on and displays a countdown.

2. Esecuzione di un test

  1. Wait at least 15 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before testing. This allows residual alcohol in the mouth to dissipate, ensuring accurate results.
  2. Once the device indicates it is ready (e.g., "BLOW" prompt), take a deep breath.
  3. Blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece for approximately 5 seconds until the device beeps or indicates the sample is complete.
  4. The BAC result will be displayed on the device screen. If in "App Mode," the result will also appear in the BACtrack App.

3. Understanding ZeroLine Technology

The BACtrack C8, especially when used with the app, features ZeroLine technology. This estimates the time until your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is expected to return to 0.00%. This feature is an estimate and should not be used as a definitive guide for driving or other activities requiring sobriety.

Manutenzione
