Q3 Innovations AlcoHawk PT500P Owner's Manual - Introduction

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

This Tester provides a digital reading of a person’s approximate BAC 

in seconds.  The AlcoHAWK

®

 PT500P is powered by two (2) AA batter-

ies that in general last about 200 tests when using alkaline batteries.  

Please read the 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 in-

toxicated 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.
