– This is a single use code that your Service Provider may use to
unlock your device and allow you to take a breath test and operate your vehicle for a limited
time, in the event that your unit has gone into Permanent Lockout due to a missed appointment
caused by extreme circumstance. This may be used for situations such as severe weather,
serious illness, hospitalization, etc. This also applies to lockouts or pending lockouts caused by
program violations or device malfunctions. Anytime your unit is in Permanent Lockout, call your
Service Provider.
Pass
– A Breath Test result lower than the Warn level set by your State Agency.
Pending Service Date Notification
– As the Scheduled Service Appointment approaches, the
unit will notify the user each time the unit “wakes up”. Also – if the unit is in recall, the unit will
notify the user that service is required in the next “X” (number of) days before lockout occurs, so
that an urgent Service Appointment can be made.

Agency and your Service Provider.

Appointment, a program violation, unit malfunction, or suspected tampering or abuse of the unit.
Required (Mandatory) Retest –
This is a required, (mandatory), breath test that the user will be
instructed to take, in the event that an initial Start Test resulted in a fail. The initial Start test fail
will result in a 5 minute lockout. When this lockout expires, the user has 5 additional minutes to
take this required test. This test is required even if the user chooses not to drive the vehicle. A
failed or ignored required retest will result in a program violation.
Running Test
– A Breath Test required at random time intervals while the vehicle is being
driven. This can be taken as you drive, or you may pull off the road in a safe place and take it
