1. Wait at least 20 minutes after drinking, eating or
smoking before testing. Not observing this waiting
period can cause inaccurate readings and
damage the sensor.
2. Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the
BACtrack as this will damage the sensor.
3. Do not test in areas with strong winds, smoke, or
in an area where a large amount of alcohol is
being consumed.
4. Send your tester in for periodic calibration service
as required.(See calibration).
5. The BACtrack Breathalyzer is designed to be used
in a temperature range of 50-104 degrees F
(10-40 degrees C).

whether you should operate a motor vehicle or
equipment, or perform any other dangerous act.
9. Do not drink and drive. Always have a designated
driver when alcohol is being consumed.
VERIFICATION & CALIBRATION
The BACtrack is calibrated during manufacture using
advanced alcohol simulation equipment. Known
alcohol concentrations are passed through the sensor
to set baseline values for testing.
During testing, the unit compares users' breath
samples to these baseline values.
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after
six to twelve months of normal use, depending on the
number of tests performed and operating conditions.
If this product is providing inconsistent test results, is
not providing any test results, or provides unusually
high or low test results, the product should be
recalibrated immediately by a trained professional.
The product should be recalibrated at least every six to
twelve months. If the product is used every day, it may
need to be recalibrated as frequently as every month.
