4.6.2 Reading the measurement result for
automatic breath samples
The following settings depend on the configuration.
The pre-configured alcohol threshold values determine when
the green, yellow or red LED illuminates.
Three types of results are possible.
● No alcohol detected (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: D).
In addition, the green LED lights up.
Or
● Low level of alcohol detected (see the fold-out page,
Figure 2: E). In addition, the yellow LED lights up.
Or
● Alcohol detected (see the fold-out page, Figure 2: F). In
addition, the red LED lights up.
Press the button to continue with the next measurement.
Once the recovery time of the sensor (see "Technical data",
page 19) has elapsed, the display indicates that the device is
ready for measurement.
4.6.3 Taking a manual breath sample (optional)
If the subject cannot provide the required minimum volume of
breath, manual sampling can be activated.
To take a manual breath sample:
1. Turn on the mode under breath sample options in the PIN-
1 menu.
2. Follow steps one to four of the process for taking an
automatic breath sample (see "Taking an automatic breath
sample", page 15).
3. If the progress circle is displayed after starting the breath
sample, tap the button.
 The following note appears in the results display:
MANUAL
4. Press the button to continue with the next
measurement.
4.6.4 Taking a passive breath sample
During passive sampling, the sampling is manually initiated by
the device user. Possible applications for this include testing
the ambient air or a person's breathing air for the presence of
alcohol.
To take a passive breath sample:
1. Hold the device, which is ready to measure, into the air to
be analyzed without a mouthpiece.
2. Tap the button to initiate the measurement.
 If alcohol is detected, the message ALCOHOL is
displayed and the red LED lights up (see Figure 2 on
the fold-out page: H).
 If no alcohol is detected, the message NO ALCOHOL
is displayed and the green LED lights up (see Figure 2
on the fold-out page: G).
 In the results display, PASSIVE is also displayed.
3. Press the button to continue with the next
measurement.

4.7 Breath sampling with the funnel
4.7.1 Taking a breath sample
CAUTION
Hygiene
► Do not touch the upper part of the funnel.
► Always maintain a distance of 2-3 cm from the object or
subject to be tested.
► Do not touch excretions, surfaces or a subject's skin with
the funnel.
► Avoid direct contact with substances to be tested.
► Replace contaminated funnels.
CAUTION
Incorrect measurement results
If multiple samples are taken over a short period of time, there
is a risk of condensation building up inside the funnel and
entering the device.
► Replace the funnel if condensate or droplets are visible.
Before taking the breath sample, ensure that the correct
measuring mode has been selected.
1. Remove the funnel from its packaging.
2. Hold the funnel using the grip areas on the sides and
attach it firmly to the top of the device (it can only point in
one direction).
3. Ask the subject to blow evenly and without interruption
into the funnel without touching it.
 A continuous tone signals a sufficient flow of air.
 While the sample is being taken, an animated circular
progress bar that indicates progress as a percentage
value is displayed (see Figure 2 on the fold-out page:
B, C).
 If sampling was successful, the tone ends with a clear,
audible click.
 The display shows a spinning progress bar during an
ongoing analysis process.
 The result is displayed after a few seconds and stored
by the device.
