Batteries

The battery cover is located on the base of the Alco-Sensor FST. Two AA batteries should run
well in excess of 1000 tests at room temperature. When changing batteries always replace both
batteries.
Caution
 When changing batteries always replace both batteries and never mix battery types.
 When installing batteries, the proper polarity, or direction, must be observed. (On both the
inside of the case and on the circuit board in the battery compartment there is a guide for
proper polarity or direction).
 In addition, some ASFSTs have a battery cover with the proper polarity
displayed on the outside of the battery cover. If your ASFST is equipped
with this style battery cover you can also use it to verify that the
batteries have been installed correctly.

After replacing the batteries, always power the instrument ON to verify proper installation – if
the ASFST does not power ON immediately remove the batteries and reinstall correctly or
replace with a new set.

Accessing Pass Code Features

Certain versions of the Alco-Sensor FST have a pass code or security feature on some menu
functions.
If you access a menu function and the instrument does not operate according to the standard
instructions in this manual, contact your supervisor. If your supervisor does not have a pass
code key Intoximeters will need to be contacted.
