INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
This breath alcohol tester is intended to measure alcohol in human
breath. Readings from this device are used to determine alcohol intoxi-
cation. The accuracy of this device has been proven at a Blood Alcohol
Concentration (BAC) of 0.008 and 0.032. Accuracy at a BAC greater
than .032 has not been established.
Overview
The AlcoHAWK
® ABI is a breath alcohol tester intended to test for the
presence of alcohol in human breath. The AlcoHAWK ® ABI is powered
by a 9 volt battery that generally lasts between 200-300 tests when us-
ing an alkaline battery. Please read this entire manual before use.
Effects of Alcohol
Variations among people and other factors, such as altitude and air tem-
perature, affect the degree of intoxication. Some people may become
intoxicated at low BAC levels. A low BAC on a breath alcohol tester does
not mean that a person’s reaction times can respond to any emergency.
You should not drink alcohol and drive or use any machines after
consuming alcohol. There is no safe way to drive under the influence of
alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe.
