8.1 Aborting a Test

To abort a test, depress the OFF button to turn the device OFF.
8.2 Blank Test not Successful (E11)
Before an Accuracy Check or Calibration procedure can continue the device automatically performs a
blank test to ensure that the device is free of alcohol. If this test does not result in a zero reading the test
will display E11. Remove and replace the mouthpiece. Make certain that you are using a new, clean
mouthpiece. Wait a few moments before initiating another test. If repeated attempts at a blank test do not
result in a zero reading contact your service provider.
8.3 Insufficient Breath Sample (E06)
The device will allow the subject 3 attempts to provide a sample before it will display the status message
E06 and power off.

8.4 Improper Breath Sample

An Improper Breath Sample was detected by the device and is indicated by the FLo message flashing
several times along with one of the following descriptors: Lo, Hi, InS or Cut.
FLo Lo - indicates subject breath flow fell below the device?s minimum flow requirements;
FLo Hi - indicates subject breath flow exceeded maximum allowable flow rate;
FLo InS - indicates subject breath flow was not consistent;
FLo Cut - indicates subject provided enough sample to capture a sample, but breath flow stopped too
abruptly

8.5 Low Battery

The battery level indicator is displayed on power up and will give the user an indication of current
battery strength. If the battery strength is lower than the device's requirement for performing a test, then
bAt will flash on the display and the device will power off. Battery replacement is required. (see Battery
Replacement Procedure, page 11)
8.6 Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Sensor (E12/rF1)
RFI detection is built into the Alco-Sensor FST®. The casing of the device is designed to provide RFI
shielding for the electronics. If an interference signal is detected by the RF sensor, the test will be voided
and E12/rF will be displayed on the Alco-Sensor FST®. No result will be available. The test will stop
and the device will power down.
The source of the RFI should be located and removed from the testing site before the test is initiated
again. Some common sources of RFI may include walkie-talkies, cell phones and other radio transmitting
sources.
