Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

Выкананне тэсту

  3. Prepare to Blow: Once the countdown reaches zero, the display will show "BLOW" and emit another beep. This indicates the device is ready for a breath sampле.
  4. Provide Breath Sampль: Take a deep breath and blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece for approximately 5 seconds, or until you hear a click sound. Ensure a consistent airflow.
  5. View Вынікі: After a few seconds, your estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) will be displayed on the screen. The result will remain on the screen for several seconds before the device automatically powers off.
