The BACTRACK® B70 Breathalyzer is a professional alcohol  
screening device, used for the detection of alcohol in the breath.  
The BacTrack provides a digital result, indicating the ap-  
proximate Bac (Blood alcohol content) of the test subject. The  
BacTrack is powered by two aa batteries and is very easy to  
use. simply turn on the unit and begin testing your alcohol level  
in a matter of seconds. however, before you begin testing, there  
are a few things you should know. Please take a moment to  
read your owners manual in its entirety and familiarize yourself  
with the BacTrack.  
congratulations on your purchase of the  
BacTrack® B70 Breathalyzer! Your new  
alcohol tester estimates Blood alcohol  
content in seconds. For your convenience,  
we’ve provided simple instructions to get  
you started.

Alcohol and Its Effects on the Human Body  
alcohol is absorbed from the mouth, throat, stomach and  
intestines into the bloodstream.  
alcohol ingested by the human body can be detected in the  
breath because of its presence in the bloodstream.  
alcohol cannot be digested, and it cannot be chemically  
changed in the bloodstream. as the blood flows through the  
lungs, alcohol in the bloodstream moves across the membranes  
of the lung’s air sacs (alveoli) into the air. The concentration of  
the alcohol in the alveolar air is directly related to the concentra-  
tion of the alcohol in the blood. as the alveolar air is exhaled, the  
alcohol in it can be detected by the breath alcohol testing device.

The alcohol concentration in the breath is related to that in the  
blood, and because of this, an individuals Bac can be deter-  
mined by measuring alcohol in the breath. The ratio of breath  
alcohol to blood alcohol is generally estimated to be 2,100:1.  
Therefore, 2,100 milliliters (ml) of alveolar air will contain ap-  
proximately the same amount of alcohol as 1 ml of blood.  
some vision impairments that occur when you have been  
drinking include:  
narrowing of your eld of vision  
reduction in your depth perception  
decreased ability to see in darkness  
Increased sensitivity to glare and a longer time  
for your eyes to readjust from the glare  
Alcohol is a Drug  
some mental (brain) impairment can occur when you have  
been drinking, including:  
alcohol is the chemical (ethanol or ethyl alcohol) resulting from  
the fermentation of grapes or grain. alcohol is absorbed directly  
into your bloodstream. From your bloodstream, the uids in your  
body tissues absorb the alcohol. Your brain is made up of a  
large concentration of fluids and will absorb a large amount of  
any alcohol you drink. Your liver eliminates the absorbed alcohol  
at its own rate of time and nothing you eat or drink can speed up  
the process. Your liver does this by oxidizing the alcohol (convert-  
ing it into water and carbon dioxide). coffee, food or any other  
curewill not sober you up. Only time will do that.  
reduced awareness of danger  
Becoming overly condent and reckless  
difficulty in making decisions  
reduction in balance  
slowed reexes  
Impaired judgment  
How does alcohol affect my driving?  
we can’t emphasize enough how dangerous it is for you to  
drink and drive. Your vision and your brain are the most impor-  
tant factors in driving safely. If you jeopardize either by drinking,  
and then you drive, you are likely to be involved in a serious or  
fatal collision.  
How does alcohol affect my body?  
alcohol is a depressant. It has a relaxing effect on the muscles in  
your body. The muscles of your eyes relax and lose focus. Your  
eyesight will become fuzzy and you may experience double  
vision. Brain activity is slowed. Your judgment, reexes, and  
coordination are all negatively affected.

Calibration Instructions  
VerIfICaTIOn and CalIbraTIOn  
Please visit www.bactrack.com or call 877-334-6876 for informa-  
tion on how to get your BacTrack Breathalyzer recalibrated.  
The BacTrack Breathalyzer is calibrated during manufacture  
using advanced alcohol simulation equipment. known alcohol  
concentrations are passed through the sensor to set baseline  
values for testing. during testing, the unit compares users’  
breath samples to these baseline values.  
during recalibration, a professional technician will reset the  
sensor baseline values and also perform a full diagnostic check  
to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the product.  
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can uctuate after six to  
twelve months of normal use, depending on the number of tests  
performed and operating conditions.  
One-Year lImITed WarranTY  
khn solutionswarranty obligations for this product are limited  
to the following:

by khn solutions within the warranty Period, at its option, khn  
solutions will either (1) repair the product, (2) exchange the prod-  
uct with a product that is new or which has been manufactured  
from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally  
equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase  
price of the product. when a refund is given, the product for  
which the refund is provided must be returned to khn solutions  
and becomes khn solutions’ property. This warranty is limited  
The product should be recalibrated at least every six to twelve  
months. If the product is used every day, it may need to be  
recalibrated as frequently as every month.  
If the power button is depressed for 5 seconds, the product will  
display the total number of tests taken since the last calibration.  
If the total number of tests taken is 300 or greater, “cal” is  
quickly displayed as a reminder that the product may need to  
be recalibrated in the near future to maintain accuracy.

Exclusions, Limitations, and Disclaimers  
khn solutions makes no warranties, express or implied, as to  
the ability of this product to determine whether, or the extent to  
which, a test subject’s mental or physical functioning, or judg-  
ment, may be impaired by blood alcohol including whether the  
test subject is intoxicated under any denition of that word. khn  
solutions expressly disclaims any liability for direct, indirect, in-  
cidental, special, or consequential damages of any nature under  
any legal theory. any act or failure to act based on a reading  
from this product shall be at the test subject’s or users own risk.  
khn solutions assumes no responsibility for consequences to  
or of test subjects who use this product and later are shown to  
have been under the inuence of alcohol or to have had their  
judgment or any mental or bodily function impaired by alcohol.  
correlation between breath alcohol content and blood alcohol  
concentration depends on many variables, including environ-  
mental factors (such as air quality, wind, humidity, temperature,  
etc.) and health conditions of the test subject. a low Bac reading  
does not mean that the test subject’s physical or mental perfor-  
mance or judgment (including reaction times) can respond to an  
emergency. The concentration of alcohol in the blood of a test  
subject cannot be exactly determined by using a breath alcohol  
screening product.
