How to Use Your LifeSafer Portable Alcohol Monitor
Your device is designed to be quick and easy to use
1
Attach Mouthpiece
Attach the smaller end of the mouthpiece to the device
2
Look at Camera
Look directly into the camera for visual confirmation
3
Blow Continuously
Take a deep breath, then blow continuously for about five seconds
4
Wait for Results
The device will display “PASS” or “FAIL” based on your BAC reading
After you provide your breath sample, the screen will say “WAIT” while your result is processed. Then the device will display “PASS” or “FAIL” based on your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading. If the device detects alcohol and shows “FAIL,” it will reset and prompt you to retest. Your monitoring authority decides how many retests are allowed and how results are reviewed.
Throughout the duration of your program, you’ll have to attend several scheduled appointments. The first is a service appointment during which your device’s memory is downloaded and the data gets reported to the monitoring authority. You’ll repeat these appointments at regular intervals during your program.
