Changing the measuring mode

By default, the device is set to measuring using the
mouthpiece. The measuring mode must be changed before
measuring using the funnel.
The active measuring mode is indicated by a
corresponding symbol (mouthpiece or funnel) on the display.
To change the measuring mode:
1. Press the button to access the context menu.
2. Select Funnel.

The measuring mode remains set until it is changed in the

Breath sample

4.6.1 Taking an automatic breath sample
Use a new mouthpiece for each measurement.
Do not expose the sensor to high alcohol concentrations, e.g.
by rinsing the mouth with alcoholic drinks with a high alcohol
proof shortly before the measurement. Doing so shortens the
life span of the sensor.
Before taking the breath sample, ensure that the correct
measuring mode has been selected.
1. Remove the mouthpiece (see "Order list", page 21) from
its packaging. For hygiene reasons, keep the mouth
contact area covered by the packaging to protect it until
the mouthpiece is firmly attached to the device.
2. Position the mouthpiece at an angle with the serrated
marking (contact surface) facing upward and push it up
and into the mouthpiece receptacle (see Figure 1 on the
fold-out page).
 The mouthpiece audibly clicks into place.
The mouthpiece can be used at a left or right angle.
3. Fully remove the packaging.
4. Blow evenly and without interruption into the mouthpiece.
 A circular progress bar indicating progress as a
percentage value is displayed (see the fold-out page,
Figure 2: B, C).
