How long should the green button be held to activate the iTIC after silencing the PASS?

• A. 1 second
• B. 2 seconds
• C. 3 seconds
• D. 4 seconds

Answer: (B)

The action being tested is the need for a deliberate, timed press to re-activate the iTIC after silencing the PASS. Holding the green button for two seconds provides a clear, intentional signal to the system that you mean to re-arm or activate the iTIC, which helps prevent accidental reactivation from a quick bump or stray touch in a stressful drill. Two seconds is short enough to keep the drill moving, but long enough to confirm your intent with the equipment. Holding it for less than that could fail to register or be treated as a false action, while a longer hold would unnecessarily slow you down and may fall outside the device’s specified activation method. That balance is why two seconds is the correct duration.
