A detachable handset is a feature of some alcohol interlocks, which allows the interlock to warm up at room temperature before being transported from a residence to the vehicle. The handset uses wireless technology that can mitigate the influence that cold temperatures may have on this device (e.g., shorter warm-up time). This technology requires that the handset must be 164 feet or 50 meters from the vehicle.
