Element Operating Instructions | BACTRACK Breathalyzers

Below are basic operation guidelines for the BACTRACK Element Breathalyzer. For more details instructions and explanations, please read the BACTRACK Element Breathalyzer Owner’s Manual.

	IMPORTANTUsers must wait 20 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before blowing into the BACTRACK Breathalyzer. Failure to wait 20 minutes can provide inaccurate test results and damage the sensor.

	STEP 1 Insert a mouthpiece into the Mouthpiece In slot It is recommended to insert a new mouthpiece before each test.

	STEP 2 Press the start button. The BACTRACK will quickly display the total number of tests performed, and then begin a countdown.

	STEP 3 When the countdown approaches 2, begin to inhale a deep breath.

	STEP 4 When the countdown reaches zero, “START” will flash and the screen will display three lines. Blow through the mouthpiece for five seconds until there is a double beep sound.

	STEP 5 Once the sensor has analyzed the breath sample, the estimated BAC value is displayed.
The displayed result is an estimate of the test subject’s BAC. A breath alcohol tester cannot determine the exact BAC in the blood of the test subject. Correlation between BrAC and BAC depends on many factors, such as temperature and health conditions. Therefore, only use this device as a tool to screen for the presence of alcohol. Many people consider a 0.02% or greater a positive test for alcohol in “zero tolerance” screening. Most states have 0.08% as the legal BAC limit for tasks such as operating a motor vehicle. Some states prohibit driving commercial vehicles or any vessel with a 0.04% BAC or higher. Many states and countries prosecute individuals for driving under the influence at any level.

Powering Off To turn the power off at any time, press the start button.
