INTRODUCTION
Intended Use and Overview
The AlcoHAWK®Beacon is a breath alcohol tester designed to test for
the presence of alcohol in the breath. This product cannot determine
the subject’s exact blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and should not
be relied upon for such purposes. Please read this entire manual before
use.
Effects of Alcohol
Variations among people and other factors, such as altitude and air
temperature, affect the degree of intoxication. Some people may
become intoxicated 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
inuence of alcohol. Even one drink can make you unsafe.

PREPARATION
Install the Batteries
Apply a small amount of pressure on the battery cover located on the
back of the unit. Push down and slide away from the unit to release the
cover. Install two (2) AA alkaline batteries and slide the cover back into
place.
Opening the Mouthpiece and Inserting a New Cover
Pull up on the folding mouthpiece located on the left side of the unit
until the mouthpiece extends straight out from the unit. If testing multiple
individuals, insert a new cover over the mouthpiece before each test.

OPERATION
Wait 20 minutes after the subject smokes, eats or drinks before
testing. Failure to wait 20 minutes can give inaccurate BAC
readings and harm the sensor.
Step 1) Place a tted cover over the mouthpiece each time you test
another individual.
Step 2) If it has been more than 24 hours since the device was last
used, prime the sensor by blowing into the mouthpiece for 4
to 5 seconds before turning on the device.
Step 3) PRESS the Power Button and HOLD for one (1) second. A
single beep will sound and the device will display the room
temperature.
Note: The device will shut off after 30 seconds of non-use.
Step 4) PRESS the Left Button and the device will count down from 99
as it prepares the sensor for testing.
Note: The device will restart a count down from 10 if the sensor is not
ready within the rst countdown.
Step 5) WAIT until the unit displays “rdY” and you hear a SINGLE
BEEP. Take a DEEP BREATH AND BLOW STEADILY for at
least 5 seconds. The unit will display “bL” and count from 1 to 5
while you blow. A SINGLE BEEP sounds to signal completion
of the testing. Your estimated BAC will be displayed in the LCD
and the backlight indicates the alert level.
Note: The device will shut off after 10 seconds of non-use.

READ THE RESULTS
The result is an estimate of the subject’s BAC. A breath alcohol tester
cannot determine the exact BAC in the blood of the subject. Correlation
between BrAC and BAC depends on many factors, such as temperature
and health conditions. Only use this device to screen for the presence
of alcohol.
Many people consider a 0.02% BAC or greater a positive test for alcohol
in “zero tolerance” screening. Most states have 0.08% BAC as the legal
limit for tasks such as operating a motor vehicle. Some states prohibit
driving commercial vehicles or any vessel with a 0.04% BAC or higher.
Many states prosecute individuals for driving under the inuence at any
level.
LCD Backlight Color Alcohol Level
Green 0.00 - 0.01% BAC (0.00 - 0.10 ‰BAC, 0.00 - 0.005 mg/l)
Yellow Between 0.01% BAC (0.00 - 0.10 ‰BAC, 0.00 - 0.005 mg/l)
and alert level
Red Equal to or greater than alert level
Note: Alert level is adjustable, refer to the Set Alert Level section for guidance.
ERROR MESSAGES
Error Message Cause and Course of Action
Flo
The unit was not able to collect a deep lung air sample
because of a short blow. Make sure you blow softly and
continuously until the test is complete. Repeat operation
steps 1 – 5 to perform another test.

Error Message Cause and Course of Action
Snr
There has been an error with the sensor. This can occur
if the test subject does not wait at least 20 minutes after
smoking, eating or drinking before using the unit or if
the unit has not been used for an extended period of
time. Press the Power On/Off button once to turn off the
unit and repeat operation steps 1 – 5. If this message is
displayed four or more consecutive times, the unit may
need to be serviced.
rEP
The unit did not detect an even alcohol concentration in
the breath sample. This can occur if the user varies the
blowing force when performing a test or if the exhaust port
is obstructed. Repeat operation steps 1 – 5 to perform
another test.
HThe unit detected a very high alcohol concentration
(above 0.40% BAC).
Lo Low Battery. Install two (2) new AA batteries.
Err The sensor has sustained damage; please contact us for
further support.
