The handheld alcolock unit is released by
depressing it slightly in its holder and
releasing it - it then springs out and can be
removed from the holder.
•
Replace the handheld unit in the holder by
pushing it in until it engages.
•
Store the handheld unit in the holder - this
provides it with the best protection and
keeps its batteries fully charged.
Before starting the engine
The Alcolock is activated automatically and is
then ready for use when the car is opened.
1. When the indicator lamp (6) is green the
Alcolock is ready for use.
2. Withdraw the Alcolock from its holder. If
the Alcolock is outside the car when it is
unlocked then it must first be activated
with the switch (2).
3. Fold up the nozzle (1), take a deep breath
and blow with an even pressure until a
"click" is heard after approx. 5 seconds.
The result will be one of the alternatives in
the following table Result after breath
test.
4. If no message is shown then the transmis-
sion to the car may have failed - in which
case, press the button (3) to transmit the
result to the car manually.
5. Fold down the nozzle and refit the Alcolock
in its holder.
6. Start the engine following an approved
breath test within 5 minutes - otherwise it
must be repeated.
