SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
The ALCOLOCK LR alcohol interlock has been designed for
easy and safe operation. The device is to be used only for the
purposes specied herein. To help ensure your safety, you
must follow these precautions:
• Always use a clean mouthpiece for good hygiene and
to trap any foreign matter or excess moisture from the
breath sample
• Do not store mouthpieces in a cold area before use.
They may collect condensation, which may increase the
chance of liquid entering the Handset during a test
• DO NOT perform a breath test while the vehicle is in
motion. Provide an accepted breath test before you
resume driving
• Do not eat, drink or smoke for at least 15 minutes before
the test. This may contaminate the breath sample. Swish
and swallow fresh water to remove any contaminants
from the mouth
• Avoid exposing the Handset to direct sunlight for
extended periods of time
• If liquid spills onto the Handset, remove with a cloth and
allow the Handset to dry thoroughly. If there is substantial
moisture damage, do not activate the Handset. Contact
your local Service Centre
• Keep all radio frequency transmitting devices (such as
mobile phones or laptops) away from the ALCOLOCK
LR device to minimize interference, particularly when
performing a test
• Do not attempt to tamper with or to circumvent the device.
This is considered a Program Violation
NOTE: The ALCOLOCK LR device WILL NOT shut Off
your vehicle during operation.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2
PRODUCT PROFILE
The ALCOLOCK LR alcohol interlock device controls the
normal operation of a vehicle through connection with the
power, starting and control systems. To start the vehicle
engine, the driver must provide an accepted breath test with
an alcohol concentration (BrAC) below the preset limit. During
operation of the vehicle, the driver will be requested to provide
additional breath tests to maintain compliance with program
requirements. The ALCOLOCK LR alcohol interlock device
will never cause the vehicle engine to stop.
The ALCOLOCK LR device consists of a Handset to conduct
breath alcohol tests and to communicate with the driver, and
an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that is connected with the
power and control circuits of the vehicle.
The ALCOLOCK LR device is used in alcohol interlock
programs under the direction of a jurisdictional authority and
conforms to international regulations for alcohol interlocks
being used in compliance programs.
WARNING!
• Do not disassemble the ALCOLOCK LR device. Doing
so may damage the components within and void the
warranty
• Do not attempt to tamper with the installation or
to circumvent the ALCOLOCK LR device. This is
considered a Program Violation
• Do not attempt to drive after consuming alcohol. This
is an unsafe practice and is considered a Program
Violation
• The ALCOLOCK LR device may engage a Permanent
Lockout if:
-The scheduled service date is past due
-An Early or Immediate Recall has been recorded
and the device has not been serviced prior to the
lockout date indicated on the Handset

ALCOLOCK LR3
GETTING STARTED
ALCOHOL INFLUENCE ON TESTING
WARNING! Drinking alcohol and eating foods containing
alcohol may cause a failed alcohol test.
Some factors that may affect the results of a test (because
of possible residual alcohol in the mouth) are consumption
of medicines, drops, gum, smoking and using mouthwash or
mouth spray. Swish and swallow fresh water to remove any
contaminants from the mouth.
Do not eat, smoke or drink for at least 15 minutes before
taking a test.
Before taking a test, refrain from using windshield washer uid
for at least 10 minutes or using any aerosol air fresheners,
disinfectants, cologne or perfume in the vehicle, as these may
also contain alcohol.
NOTE: The above list of factors that may affect a breath
test result is not exhaustive. There are additional items
that may also affect the results. To avoid incorrect
results, follow this guide carefully and consult the
Service Centre or Service Provider.
