Operation and precautions

Step 1. Insert coin into the slot , the following voice message can be heard; “Thanks you. Please take a straw from the tray and wait until the machine counts down to “0” in the display”

Step 2. After taking a straw from the outlet , blow on the straw when you hear following message “Insert the straw securely into the “bullseye” and blow steadily until ton ends” If you blow for more than three seconds, then this message will follow and the measurement will be completed; “Three, two, one, ding-dong. Sampling is completed.” If you stop blowing or you do not breathe strongly enough, the following message will be heard “The device does not sense a proper breath sample, please wait and try again” and the machine goes back to the waiting states. This process will continue until you finally get a correct result.

Step 3. When the measurement is done, the blood alcohol concentration displays on the display window. Then, along with voice guide, whether or not you can drive will be shown with the lamplights 13, 14, and 15.

Voice message for each level is as follows;

#13 “GOOD”
The device detects very little or no alcohol. However, if you have had ANY amount of alcohol, it may not be safe to drive”

#14 “WARNING”
“The device detects a moderate level of alcohol. Please wait at least an hour or more and try another test. It may not be safe to drive.”

#15 “DANGER”
“The device detects a high level of alcohol. It is NOT safe to drive”

“If you do not blow into the straw, you will see a 10-second timer appear in the display.  You must complete your breath test before the timer runs out.”. The coin will not be refunded. Please test within 10 seconds after machine count down to “O”.



Precautions

First, during testing, any alcohol left in your mouth will increase the value of the blood alcohol concentration. Remove it before measurement. The greatest accuracy results 30 minutes after drinking.

Second, when you breathe out through the straw, some unintentional salivation may affect the specially built-in equipment. However, please be aware that putting other liquid or material into the straw may cause the sensor to malfunction.

Third, cigarette smoking may also increase the value of the blood alcohol concentration.   Allow a minute after smoking before testing.

Troubleshooting

1. You plugged in, but there is no power on.

First, the power of the product was set at 110V (or 220V) as default. You need to affirm the voltage of the power lines. Second, make sure that the line attached to the power adapter is well connected to the power socket on the bottom of AL-3500.

2. You inserted a coin, but the machine does not work.

First, make sure you use the proper coin. The machine only accepts the specified kind and others are discharged.

Second, select 'Co' with SET 2 button, and then affirm the number set on the display window. As explained above, only if you use this number of coins will the machine will operate.

3. There is no voice guide or buzzer sound.

The option for voice guide and buzzer sound can be selected. In the setting mode, check the status of the setting as explained above.

4. You blow, but there is no response from the machine.

First, check if the display window shows “SEn”. If it does, the machine may have a problem. You need to take the action corresponding to the error number as previously explained.

5. After measurement, the machine does not go back to the waiting status.

The machine displays the result value for about 10 seconds. In order to go back to the measuring state, the alcohol blown into the machine must be removed completely. The amount of alcohol increases the elapsing time for this removal, but it does not usually exceed a minute. So if it takes more than a minute for the removal, the sensor must be malfunctioning. You should contact customer services for this problem.
