OVERVIEW
What does the Draeger Interlock do?
It allows you to start your vehicle when you blow a breath sample without alcohol. Use it correctly and you can continue to drive your vehicle.
How does it work? The system measures and records your BAC level before you start your vehicle. When your BAC level is below the set limit, your vehicle will start. If your BAC level is too high, your vehicle will not start. The system will also require you to submit additional breath tests while you drive. The Interlock records all BAC readings, vehicle starts, engine shut-os, violations, etc., as well as the date and time of each event. A computer records these events each time you go to the service center for a service check.
Does the device have to be serviced after installation? Yes! The Interlock will indicate when service is due. You will not be able to start your vehicle if you do not have the device serviced as required. Make sure you get the device serviced as required. See back inside cover for your service requirements. WARNING Leave the tamper-evident label in place. Any attempt to remove the label is a violation!
DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times. DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing breath tests. DO contact your Service Technician with any questions or concerns. DO NOT consume alcohol, use alcohol-based products (such as mouthwash), or smoke for 15 minutes before using the Interlock. Alcohol remaining in the mouth shortly after drinking can produce high readings. DO NOT place the Interlock unit on the vehicle oor. If the device is not secured, it may interfere with the pedals and the safe operation of the vehicle. DO NOT use the Interlock while driving if you are at all unsure about your safety. If you are asked for a breath test while driving, you will have enough time to pull over, stop the vehicle and present the breath test. DO NOT attempt to disable the Interlock, or fail to undergo a proper Retest. This will shorten the service interval and these actions are recorded in memory. DO NOT tamper with, abuse, misuse and/or neglect the Interlock device.

NOTE: If you turn the vehicle's key to the "ON" position just to get enough power to roll up your window (with no plan to drive) and you see "PLEASE BLOW", you do not need to take the test. Simply turn key to the "OFF" position. The initial test will be aborted.
The Interlock will display "Test Passed" or "TEST FAILED" if the blow pattern was correct. TEST PASSED: If little or no alcohol is detected in the breath test, the message "Test Passed" will appear (Figure 3). The vehicle will now start. TEST FAILED: If alcohol is detected in the breath sample, the message "TEST FAILED" will appear (Figure 4). The vehicle will not start. NOTE: You have at least a minute to start the vehicle after passing a breath test. If you do not start the vehicle within this free start time, you must pass another test. The free start time remaining to start the vehicle is displayed on the handset. Do not disconnect the handset while you are driving the vehicle or while the engine is on; this action is a violation!

ROLLING RETEST
What is a Rolling Retest? To make sure you stay sober while driving, the Interlock requires you to take additional tests while you drive. You must give additional breath tests at random intervals perhaps several times before you turn o your vehicle. (See back cover for how often you will take the Retest.) When the Interlock prompts for a Retest, you will hear a beep and the yellow light will ash. The Interlock will display "Retest required - PLEASE BLOW". Take the breath test exactly as you do when you start your vehicle. Give the Retest within the specied time. When you see "TEST PASSED", put the device back on the Hook and Loop Tape and continue your trip. The "Drive Safely!" message will return to the display and remain on the display for the duration of the trip or until the next random Rolling Retest.
What happens if I just turn my vehicle o during the Retest? Once the device asks for a Retest, you must take the Retest. A violation will be recorded if you dont take the Retest in the time allowed.
What happens if I dont hear the Retest prompt? At certain times, the Interlock's buzzers will start beeping continuously to alert you. To stop the buzzers, press the OK button and take the Retest.
What happens if I dont take the Retest in time? The message "Retest VIOLATION" will be displayed. The Interlock's buzzers will beep continuously. The vehicles horn may repeatedly honk and/or the headlights may continuously ash. You must pass the Retest or turn o the vehicle in order to deactivate the horn and/or lights.
REMEMBER You have several minutes to take the Retest. If you are in heavy trac or on a dangerous section of road, wait to take the test until you can safely follow correct testing procedures. For safety reasons and certain road laws, you may choose to pull over at the Retest prompt, and park the vehicle o the road (away from trac in a safe position). Leave the motor running during the Retest.
Page 9
What happens if I fail the Retest? Dont panic! Make sure your mouth and vehicle are free of alcohol vapors and smoke. If the alcohol level was low, the device will automatically start another Retest. When you see "Retest Required - PLEASE BLOW" and the yellow light is ashing, take the breath test as before. If the alcohol level was high, the device may go into the "TEMPORARY LOCKOUT" mode. If you see "TEMPORARY LOCKOUT", you must pull over and turn the engine o. Wait for the "TEMPORARY LOCKOUT" timer to count down, then take the breath test again.
