SMART START IN-HOM
®
User Instructions
SS440-0009-00
Rev. 02-04/2014
The SMART START IN-HOM
®
is a breath-alcohol device with a photo identification feature that requires the user to take a breath test
during specified “test windows”. The device will indicate to the user when a test is required with the use of a display located on top of the
IN-HOM
®
unit. The unit will also beep during the required “test windows”. An instruction label is located on the left-hand side of the
unit. The IN-HOM
®
unit consists of four parts: the IN-HOM
®
device, a mouthpiece, a power supply, and power cord.
S
ETTING UP THE
IN-HOM
®
UNIT
:
1.
Make sure the IN-HOM
®
unit is sitting on a flat, sturdy surface like a table or counter.
2.
Connect the power supply cord to the IN-HOM
®
unit and plug it into an electrical outlet. The unit will activate and the LCD will display
INITIALIZING, and then BLOW.
3.
Place the mouthpiece in the nozzle found on top of the IN-HOM
®
unit.
4.
For the IN-HOM
®
Cellular unit:
a.
This unit transfers data through a cellular connection and thus requires good cellular signal strength just like a cell phone.
b.
The display provides an icon that shows the cellular signal strength similar to those used by cellular phones.
c.
It is the
responsibility of the user
to ensure that the IN-HOM
®
Cellular unit is placed where the cellular signal is strong and reliable.
d.
Follow the steps below to place the unit and ensure suitable cellular coverage:
i.
Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface that will provide the best cellular signal strength.
ii.
Apply power to the unit.
iii.
If cellular coverage is weak and the IN-HOM
®
Cellular unit loses cellular connection, the IN-HOM
®
Cellular unit could go into a
modem recall mode with a grace period timer. The loss of connection is indicated by no or low bars on the signal strength graphic
and the “RECALL: 5 XX” message being displayed. If this occurs, move the unit until more than half the bars are displayed.
Once the IN-HOM
®
Cellular restores cellular coverage, the modem recall lockout notice will disappear.
iv.
The IN-HOM
®
Cellular unit will perform periodic and random data downloads; for this reason,
it is
important to leave the IN-
HOM
®
Cellular unit plugged in at all times. Unplugging the unit will result in a loss of cellular coverage and could cause a
service lockout.

”
You must provide at least one sample with a
“PASS”
reading during this period. If you skip a “test window”, a
VIOLATION
will be reported. Taking a
test after the “test window”
WILL NOT
reverse this; however the unit will allow a test.
When the IN-HOM
®
unit reaches a scheduled “test window”, the unit will beep, the 2 LED lights will flash green, and the display will show “
BLOW
”
along with a timer indicating how much time you have to take a test. A test
MUST
be taken during this time. As the “test window” nears the end of the
allotted time, THE UNIT WILL BEEP MORE FREQUENTLY. You can voluntarily take a test outside of a “test window” as long as the device displays
“
BLOW
”.
Be sure to drink WATER prior to each and every test.
