Warm-Up Process Messages
During the warm-up process, the device may display messages such as “1 SECOND OF WARMING,” “1/2 SECOND OF PRESS,” “1/2 SECOND OF TO,” and “5 SECONDS OF FULL ON.” Press the activation button to submit a breath sample if any of these messages are displayed.
Breath Sample Submission
- When the message “APPROACHING TIME OUT” is displayed, it indicates that a breath sample has not been provided within the allotted time. Submit a breath sample immediately to avoid a Lock Out situation.
- When the message “BLOW BLOW AGAIN” is displayed, the device is ready for you to start blowing. If your breath sample is not accepted, submit another sample and refer to warm/cold weather tips if needed.
Battery and Vehicle Messages
- If you see messages like “BLOW HARDER NEXT TIME” or “BLOWING CAR BATT,” ensure you blow hard enough to activate the device. If “CAR BATT LOW < 9V” is displayed, charge your car battery following the user manual instructions.
- If “CAR START CLEARING” is shown, it means the device is preparing for a breath sample by clearing previous alcohol content. Messages like “COURT LOCKOUT” or “DRIVING NOT ALLOWED AT THIS TIME” may indicate court monitoring restrictions.
