exceeds the allowed limits your car will not start.

deadline is approaching. If you do not have your device
serviced as scheduled the unit will lock out and you will be
unable to start your vehicle.

A violation is an event recorded in the Interlock device when it
is not used correctly, a test is ignored, the device is disconnect-

Do's and Don'ts of Interlock Use

4.1 Do's
DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing breath tests.
DO contact your Service Provider with any questions or
concerns.
CAUTION
!
Leave the tamper-evident label in place. Any attempt
to remove the label is a violation.
4.2 Don'ts
DO NOT use or consume any product other than water within
15 minutes of using the device.
DO NOT place the handset on the vehicle's floor while driving.
If the device is not secured it may interfere with the pedals and
the safe operation of the vehicle.
DO NOT use the handset while driving if you are at all unsure
about your safety. If you are asked for a breath test while driv-
ing Dräger recommends that you pull over before taking the
breath test.
DO NOT attempt to disable the handset or fail to provide a ran-
dom retest. This may shorten the service interval or alert your
monitoring agency and these actions are recorded in memory.
DO NOT tamper with, abuse, misuse, and/or neglect the Inter-
lock device. Tampering with the device may be a violation of
the law and result in fines and/or incarceration.
CAUTION
!
To ensure a valid breath test you must abstain from
eating, drinking any fluids (except water), or smoking
for at least 15 minutes prior to providing an initial
breath test. As the Interlock may require a random re-
test while you are driving you should not eat, drink (ex-
cept water), or smoke while driving your vehicle.
WARNING
!
Altering or tampering with the device may cause it to
function improperly and invalidates the installation.
