QuicTest Glossary of Terms
Alarm or Alarm Mode
– Alarm Mode occurs due to a failed or missed running test, or other
violations such as an unauthorized vehicle start. If the unit enters Alarm Mode, the unit will
instruct you to safely pull off the road and turn off your vehicle. Depending on your state’s
Interlock Program requirements, during this time, the horn, or a siren may sound, and the
vehicle hazard lights or headlights may flash. The only way to stop this is to turn off your vehicle.
Appointment Check
– This feature allows the user to check the date of their next regularly
scheduled Monitor Appointment (This is the appointment made at the last Service Center visit).
Changes to your appointment made over the phone, or appointments required due to a recall
are NOT visible when using this feature.
Arrival (Destination) Test
– A Breath Test that may be required when you turn your vehicle off.
Aggressive Mode
– If your Breath Tests (Start or Running) result in alcohol levels in the Warn
or Fail range, the frequency of Running Tests you will be required to take will increase for a
period of time.
Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID)
– A device that prevents a vehicle from
starting based on a Breath Alcohol Sample.
Breath Alcohol (BrAC)
– The level of alcohol present in a deep lung (alveolar) breath sample.
Data Logging
– The recording of all unit, user and vehicle events into the unit memory.
Diminished Lung Capacity
– Some Interlock users may have difficulty blowing into the
Interlock due to a legitimate medical condition such as asthma or emphysema.
If this condition
applies to you, and your State Agency allows this feature, your Service Provider can adjust the
Interlock to meet your specific diminished lung capacity. See your state Department of Motor
Vehicles or your Service Provider for more information.
Fail
– A Breath Test result that is equal to or greater than the Fail Level set by your State
Agency.
High Fail
– A Breath Test result that meets or exceeds the definition of a High Fail as set by
your State Agency.
Hum Tone
– As an anti-circumvention measure, you are required to hum while you blow into
the device for all breath tests. You will be trained on how to do this when your Interlock is
installed.
Invalid Sample
– Any sample that is blown into the unit that is not direct, unaltered human
breath is an Invalid Sample.
