AOL Break – An AOL break is called any time the viewer realizes he has received an AOL. The viewer should call an AOL Break and objectify the AOL (example: AOL Break- Devil’s Tower). This break acknowledges that it was an AOL and objectifies it to clear it from the system. The viewer should remain on break until the AOL “goes away”. This may take a few seconds or a few minutes. There are times, however, the AOL may linger and consequently an extended break may be appropriate. AOL are recognized by three methods:
• If the signal becomes a bright, motionless, visual image it is considered an AOL.
• If the data is qualified it is considered an AOL. Statements such as: it is like … , I think it’s, …, or maybe it’s …, are all AOL. lt is also considered an AOL if there is a stutter, pause, or hesitation accompanying the data.
• If the statement is totally unjustified by the previous data it is considered an AOL. An example is if the viewer has an A- of rising hard and calls the site water.
AOL Drive Break (AOL-D break) – An AOL-D break is similar to an AOL break except that an AOL-D indicates that the viewer did not call an AOL break in time and has been working with an AOL. This AOL is “driving” the system, hence the name. When the viewer realizes he is operating with a AOL-D he must go back in his data and locate the AOL, declare it, and break it from the system. All data from that point is suspect and should not be relied upon. With an AOL-D a longer break is usually required.

AOL Break: As mentioned above, allows the signal line to be put on hold while AOL is expelled from the system.
AOL Drive Break (“AOL-D Bk”): This type of break becomes necessary when an AOL or related AOLs have overpowered the system and are “driving” the process (as evidenced by the recurrence of a specific AOL two or more times), producing nothing but spurious information. Once the AOL-Drive is objectified, the break time taken will usually need to be longer than that for a normal AOL to allow the viewer to fully break contact and allow to dissipate the objectionable analytic loop.
