How to use

Before measurement, ensure the device has fresh batteries and has been allowed to stabilise at ambient temperature. Wait at least 15 minutes after drinking, smoking, or eating before taking a measurement to avoid contamination of the sample. Switch the tester on, follow any device prompts until it indicates readiness, then provide a steady exhalation as instructed by the device until the measurement is completed and the numeric result appears on the display. Interpret the displayed blood alcohol concentration value according to local legal limits or personal safety thresholds.

Usage recommendations

Use the ALCOSCAN 5200 Secret as a preliminary screening tool only. For legal, medical, or evidential purposes, rely on calibrated professional equipment or official testing methods. Regularly replace batteries and consult the user manual for maintenance, sensor care, and recommended ambient conditions to ensure consistent results.
