Display indications:
The breath sample was not sufficient, please repeat the testing
Flo
process ensuring a steady breath sample (it takes five seconds,
just blow like you would whistle without interruption).
„CAL" means that the device should be calibrated to maintain
Cal
accurate measurements. For a calibration service you can send
the device to ACE Instruments (see www.ace-instruments.net).
bat
The battery power is low, please replace the batteries.
The device turns off (either by pressing the power button
Out
constantely for 4 seconds or if you don`t use the device
for 10 seconds).
Calibration:
To maintain the accuracy of the breathalyzer, ACE recommends a calibration after
200 tests or approx. every 6 months (depending which incident happens first).
For a calibration service you can send the device to ACE Instruments (see
www.ace-instruments.net). The calibration is not mandatory, but the accuracy
of the breathalyzer will decrease steadily without it.
We recommend sending it as a parcel, so that in cases of loss an inquiry or proof
of delivery is possible.
Battery notices:
The device associated with this operating manual contains two AA Alkaline
batteries (1.5 V) in delivery condition. These batteries are not made for rechar-
ging. The use of rechargeable batteries is not possible with this device and can
damage it. If the included batteries are depleted, they must not be thrown into the
household waste. Used batteries may contain harmful substances that can cause
environmental or health damage. Please return all depleted batteries to electrical
appliance stores, who collect them for free.
Battery exchange:
To replace the batteries, push the battery cover on the back of the unit downwards
and replace the discharged batteries with two new ones. Be aware of the polarity
when inserting the batteries (+/- pole). Put the battery compartment cover on the
rear panel and press it gently on the device until it clicks. In the EU the return of
used batteries is mandatory by law. All depleted batteries will be recycled.
This way valuable resources like iron, zinc and nickel can be retrieved and are
reusable then. Battery recycling is the easiest lesson in environmental protection -
please support it!
The shown garbage bins mean that batteries must not be thrown into
the household waste. The signs below the garbage bins are acronyms for
the chemical substances inside the battery:
Hg: Battery contains Mercury
Cd: Battery contains Cadmium
Pb: Battery contains Lead
