Do’s and Don’ts
Do's
DO...Change or charge batteries when Low Battery appears.
DO...When changing batteries, replace BOTH cells.
DO...Use the correct mouthpiece for this instrument.
DO...Use a clean, new mouthpiece for each COMPLETE breath test.
DO...Ensure the subject blows into the lipped end of the mouthpiece.
DO...Read this handbook carefully, and comply with its contents.
DO...Use a DRY mouthpiece for calibration checking.
Don’ts
DO NOT...Test the subject if the operator thinks he may have drunk or
taken ANYTHING by mouth in the last 20 minutes
DO NOT...Test the subject if he has smoked in the last 2 minutes.
DO NOT...Let the subject hyperventilate before supplying breath. This
cools the mouth and upper airways, so that alcohol is lost (by
condensation) from the breath on expiration, and so produces a
falsely low reading of the body alcohol loading. If necessary, wait a
minute or so before proceeding to take the breath sample, after any
such action by the subject.
DO NOT...Store the lion alcolmeter® 700 in extremes of temperature, hot
or cold.
DO NOT...Subject the lion alcolmeter® 700 to violent shock.
DO NOT...Clean the case with chemical or abrasive products.
DO NOT...Allow the sampling port to become blocked.
DO NOT...Block or restrict the end of the mouthpiece while the subject is
blowing. This can seriously damage the instrument.
DO NOT...Re-use mouthpieces, for hygiene and accuracy.
DO NOT...Open the case: this will invalidate the warranty/service.
DO NOT...Deviate from the instructions in this handbook.
