GENERAL ADVICE
• Anyone can drive your vehicle provided that they also use the Interlock device. The participant is
responsible for all readings recorded by the device.
• If you need to replace your car battery or starter, keep a receipt for your battery purchase and keep
the time between disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it to less than 20 minutes to avoid a
power disconnection being reported.
• Once the device begins asking for a retest, be sure to take the test before the retest time elapses or
you will cause a violation.
• The Interlock device does not aect the engine’s operation and cannot turn your engine o once it
is running.
• Do not use breath freshening agents just before taking a test. Most of these contain alcohol.
• Keep the unit in its mount so the display is visible. With the radio playing loud, or a window down,
you may not hear the audible tone the Interlock device will make when it is ready for a retest. If you
can see the display, you will notice the RETEST indication. An optional LED light is available for partic-
ipants who are hearing impaired.
• If your unit locks out or is not operating properly, we may ask you to tow your vehicle to the nearest
Smart Start location. If the problem is found to be with the interlock device, we will credit our account
for the amount of the tow bill.
• Drink water before every test
