What does pressing T do on the intoximeter?

• A. Resets test timer
• B. Starts test
• C. Turns off device
• D. Clears all samples

Answer: (A)

Understanding how the intoximeter’s timer works during testing. Pressing the T key resets the test timer, which restarts the countdown that defines the testing window or the time allotted for a particular step in the procedure. This is helpful if there was a pause, a delay, or you need to re-establish the timing without initiating a new test from scratch. It isn’t the control used to start the test, power the device off, or clear stored samples—those actions are handled by other controls.
