the mouth with a high proof alcohol shortly before the measurement, as this

will shorten the service life of the sensor.

a test sample at the end of the breath of the test subject.

6. When an adequate breath sample is provided, the continuous tone stops

with an audible click.The test subject can stop blowing.

The test result is displayed with the date and time after a few seconds

(depending on the device temperature and the measured concentration).
