Operating Instructions for BACTRACK® Portable Alcohol Breathalyzers

Learn how the portable BACTRACK® alcohol breathalyzer works by reading the basic operation instructions.

 
 
Below are basic operation guidelines for the BACTRACK Breathalyzer. For more details instructions and explanations, please read the BACTRACK Breathalyzer Owners' Manual.
IMPORTANT
Users must wait 20 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before blowing into the BACTRACK Breathalyzer. Failure to wait 20 minutes can provide inaccurate test results and damage the sensor.
   
STEP 1
Press and hold power for one full second. To prevent the BACTRACK Breathalyzer from accidentally turning on, tapping the power button for less than one second will not cause it to turn on.
STEP 2
After powering on, the unit will count down quickly from 50 to zero. This countdown takes approximately 10 seconds.
STEP 3
When the countdown approaches 10, begin to inhale a deep breath.
STEP 4
When the countdown reaches zero, the unit will flash “blow” and “0”. Exhale through the dual-flow breath chamber for five seconds while holding it 1/2 inch (13 mm) away from the mouth.
IMPORTANT
Ensure proper breath sample! Keep your lips and mouth open wide while blowing, as indicated in the diagram below.
CORRECT
Ensure mouth is open as though trying to fog a mirror or saying, “Hhhhhhha.”
NOT CORRECT
Do not pucker lips together as though blowing out candles or whistling.
STEP 5
When finished taking a breath sample, the BACTRACK will circle the outer LCD fields for three seconds while analyzing the breath sample.
STEP 6
Once the BluFire® sensor technology has analyzed the breath sample, the estimated BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) value is displayed.
The test result will be displayed for 10 seconds. Then the test result will blink for another 20 seconds before shutting off.
Error Notification

If a user does not exhale a sufficient air sample through the Dual-Flow tube, the BACTRACK will display ERR. Press power twice to retest and be sure to exhale continuously for at least five seconds. This feature helps achieve accurate results by ensuring a deep lung air sample is taken.
Powering Off
To turn the power off at any time, press and hold the power button for one second.
Compact size and sleek design - easily fits into a pocket or purse.
 
Simply turn on the unit and begin testing your alcohol level in a matter of seconds.
