Interlock Care

8.1 Interlock Precautions
When the Interlock is in your possession:
 Keep the Interlock dry.
Make sure your windows are always closed and that your

doors are locked when you are away from your vehicle.
Do not spill anything onto or into the Interlock. If this hap-

pens do not turn the system on and contact your provider.
Treat the Interlock as you would a cellular phone or other

portable electronic device.
You will be liable for the loss of the device or any damage

the Service Provider or Manufacturer determines was
caused by misuse, abuse, and/or neglect of the Interlock.
8.2 Handset Cleaning
If the Interlock gets dirty:
 Use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe off dirt.
Never use a cleaner or soap on the Handset.

 You can ask the service technician to clean it for you at your
next service appointment.
8.3 Disconnecting the Handset
If you are instructed by your Service Technician to disconnect
the Handset:
When the vehicle is off unplug the modular cable located at

the bottom of the handset by pressing down on the lever
and gently pulling the cord out of the handset.
 In extreme temperatures (hot or cold) the Interlock start-up
procedure will take longer. To avoid this disconnect the In-
terlock and store it in a room-temperature location.
Again, do not remove the Interlock unless the Service Pro-

vider has instructed you that this is allowed. Unauthorized
disconnection of the Interlock will be recorded as a viola-
tion.
CAUTION
!
Do not disconnect the handset without authorization.
In some states this is a violation. You may be instruct-
ed to remove the handset if you live in an area with ex-
treme temperatures. Do not disconnect the handset
while driving or while the Interlock is requesting a re-
test. If you disconnect the handset during these condi-
tions a violation will be recorded.

Vehicle Repairs

9.1 Battery Recharging or Replacement
If your battery dies or is disconnected the Interlock will detect
the power loss. It is your responsibility to document what hap-
pened for the monitoring agency.
If the battery is recharged or jump-started record the date and
time that the battery lost power and the date and time of recon-
nection.
If you need to replace the battery and choose to do it yourself
then make a copy of the receipt to show the replacement. If
you have a repair facility replace the battery bring a copy of the
receipt for the charges (parts and labor) to your next appoint-
ment.
9.2 Vehicle Maintenance
It is your responsibility to keep the Interlock clean. Cover the
handset with a clean sock or towel while the vehicle is in the
repair shop. If your repair shop has any questions have them
contact your service technician.
If your vehicle will be in the shop for an extended period of time
the repair facility may advise you to seek authorization for a
temporary disconnect of the Interlock. Ask the repair shop to
contact the Service Technician for instructions.
9.3 Other Maintenance Information
For minor service observe the vehicle while it is being serviced.
Ensure that alcohol-free solvents are used in your vehicle. If al-
cohol solvents are used air out your vehicle for at least 15 min-
utes before taking the initial test.
For major repairs ask the automotive technician to contact the
Service Technician for instructions.
If vehicle repairs take more then a few days you may be re-
quired to make up time on your Interlock program.
