General Questions About Alcohol Monitoring

ACTSOFT® DEVICE
Congratulations on your decision to use the latest technology to assist in maintaining your sobriety and providing empirical data and evidence not only to the court but all others who.
The use and care of this unit is very simple and effective.

Charging of Units
The Actsoft® device comes in two parts, an ankle bracelet and the receiver/transmitter cellular telephone.  The assigned phone needs to be charged as any other cell phone. You can see the battery status bar at the top right corner of the screen. The ankle bracelet needs to be charged for a minimum of ONE HOUR every day.

Directions  & Use
The Actsoft® device comes in two parts. 

  • The ethanol sensor ankle bracelet which detects any and all ethanol metabolites provided any alcohol is consumed.

  • The receiver/transmitter cell telephone which serves the following purpose:

    1. - Receives the data signal from the ankle bracelet
    2. - Sends this data via cellular connection to our monitoring station
    3. - Check the screen periodically for the HAS logo on the screen. If you see the HAS logo, you are fine. If the phone displays anything other than that logo, please turn off the phone and turn it back on, This will reset the connection between the phone and the ankle bracelet.
    4. - One of the most important things to remember, the signal transmitted from the ankle bracelet has a range of just thirty (30) feet or less
    5. - If receiver/transmitter cannot pick up a signal from the ankle bracelet, the connection will be interrupted or broken, causing an alarm (violation) at our monitoring station.


Care
Although the ankle bracelet is water resistant, immersion of this device in water is certainly not allowed, i.e. swimming, soaking in a bath of water. 
Common sense and due diligence should be exercised to avoid excessive exposure to water and impact with both units.
