ACE Instruments AL5500 plus Notice D'utilisation page 9

This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive measurement
device. To maintain the accuracy of the semiconductor sensor,
it should regularly be used. If the device is not used for an ex-
tended period of time, the sensor can dry out. ACE Instruments
recommends to use the breathalyzer at least 2 times per
month (even if you have not been drinking alcohol).
Due to changes in the product, the procedures stated can
change. This can take place without prior notice or adaptation
of the operating manual and is no cause for complaint, return
or price reduction. The user is responsible for recognizing
discrepancies between the operating manual and the actual
handling of the breathalyzer and must react accordingly.
Only the usage of original ACE mouthpieces

ACE INSTRUMENTS ADVISES:
EVEN IF YOU GET A RESULT MEANING „SAFE RANGE", YOU
SHOULD NEVER DRIVE AFTER CONSUMING ALCOHOL OR DO
ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE SEVERELY IMPAIRED BY
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND MIGHT ENDANGER YOUR
HEALTH AND SAFETY OR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
OTHERS.
Display indications:
The breath sample was not sufficient,
please repeat the testing 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 accurate
measurements.
For a calibration service you can
send the device to ACE Instruments
(see www.ace-instruments.net).
The battery power is low,
please replace the batteries.
The device turns off (either by pressing
the power button constantely for 4
seconds or if you don`t use the
device for about 15 seconds).
Calibration:
To maintain the accuracy of the breathalyzer, ACE recommends
a calibration approx. every 6 months.
For a calibration service you can send the device to ACE Inst-
ruments (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 bat-
teries are not made for recharging. 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 bat-
teries (+/- 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!
