GETTING STARTED
The ALERT J4X breath alcohol tester is simple to use. It measures the alcohol content
of the breath (BrAC). The readout is provided on a digital display.
With a one-button operation, and power by battery or car adapter, this tester is well
suited to industrial and trafc safety needs.
The parts and basic features of the tester are illustrated as follows:
NOTE: In the factory, a plastic tab is inserted between the battery and the electrical
connection to conserve battery power during shipment and storage. To operate the tester
for the rst time, pull the plastic tab from the battery compartment, which is accessible at
the back of the tester. You do not need to open the back cover to remove the tab.

the start-up sequence.
READY

TEST

READING
The display provides a digital reading, indicating the BrAC range.
NOTE: The reading of the last test completed is retained until a new test is performed.
To view the reading, ensure the Ready icon is displayed, then press and hold the power
button until the results are displayed.
OFF
The ALERT J4X tester will automatically power down after a period of inactivity.
Alternatively, press the power button twice in quick succession to turn it off manually.
TAKING A BREATH TEST
To ensure accurate results, insert a new mouthpiece each time the ALERT J4X tester is
used.
1. Power on the tester and wait until the Ready icon is displayed.
2. Blow steadily and continuously into the mouthpiece.
A continuous tone will sound and the port will glow green to indicate proper breath
ow.
If the breath sample is intermittent, too hard or too soft, two beeps sound and the
Abort icon is displayed. Wait until the Ready icon is displayed and try the test
again.
3. Stop blowing only when the tone ends.
NOTE: A click sound is heard, but continue blowing.
The ALERT J4X tester will analyze the sample and display the BrAC result in a few
seconds.
The sampling port will glow red if the alcohol reading is over the legal limit.
ATTENTION!
• Alcohol is present in many products such as breath sprays, mouthwash and medicines,
as well as in certain foods and beverages, which may distort the BrAC result
• Before testing, wait 20 minutes after eating or drinking and 3 minutes after smoking
