Safety and precautions
The ALCOLOCK LR alcohol interlock device
has been designed for ease of operation.
For safe, correct and effective use of the
device it is essential to read and strictly follow
the instructions contained in this document.
NOTE: The ALCOLOCK LR device WILL NOT
shut off your vehicle during operation.
Before providing a breath sample
• Do not eat or drink anything other than
water, or smoke for at least 15 minutes
before taking the test. These actions may
contaminate the breath sample. Swish
and swallow fresh water to remove any
contaminants from the mouth and throat.
• Do not use windshield washer uid for
at least 10 minutes or use any aerosol
air fresheners, disinfectants, cologne,
perfume or hand sanitizer in the vehicle,
as these can also contain alcohol.
• Do not perform a breath test while the
vehicle is in motion. Pull over before
taking the test and provide an accepted
breath sample with a pass result before
you resume driving.
• Keep all radio frequency transmitting
devices (such as mobile phones or
laptops) away from the device to minimize
interference, particularly when performing
a test.
Mouthpiece hygiene
• Always use a new mouthpiece before
each use for hygiene reasons and
to avoid excess moisture from the
breath sample. Using a contaminated
mouthpiece may affect the results of the
breath test.
• Never blow directly into the sampling port.
Tampering
• Do not attempt to tamper with or
circumvent the device. Any indication
of tampering or attempt to remove the
tamper label in place may result in a
program violation.
Device care
• Keep the device clean and dry at all times.
• You are liable for any damage from
misuse, abuse or neglect of the alcohol
interlock device.
• If liquid spills onto the handset remove
any liquid with a cloth and allow it to dry
thoroughly. If there is substantial moisture
damage, do not activate the handset.
Contact your service provider.
Storage conditions
• When not in use, store the handset in
a warm, dry environment. Always bring
the handset indoors, especially in cold
weather.
• Ensure that the device is stored away
from direct sunlight and contact with
water.
• Do not store mouthpieces in a cold
area before use. They may collect
condensation, which may increase the
chance of moisture entering the handset
during a test.
Handset cleaning
• If required, clean the handset with a damp
cloth and mild soap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents
on the handset.
Ordering mouthpieces
Contact your service provider to order
additional mouthpieces.
Disposal of device at end of
service life
Return to your service provider for removal
of the device from your vehicle. Following the
removal, proper disposal of the device (ECU,
handset and cables) at the end of its service
life will be done by the manufacturer.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7

BAC: blood alcohol concentration.
BAC limit: a limit for blood alcohol
concentration set by the administering
authority, at or above which a fail breath test
will be registered.
Circumvention: an attempt to bypass an
alcohol interlock, whether by providing
samples other than the natural unltered
breath of the driver, starting the vehicle engine
without using the ignition switch, or any other
