PREPARATION
1. Refer to POWER DISCONNECT in the owner's manual and follow the instructions to prevent the security module from actuating the siren.
WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)
WARNING
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)
2. Remove the seat following the instructions in the owner's manual and disconnect the battery, negative (-) cable first. Save all seat hardware for installation.
INSTALLATION
1. See Figure 1. Locate the siren connector [142] (1). It is covered by a dust cap (2) and is at the end of an unconnected 254 mm (10 in) long harness leg starting near the rear fender, close to the rear lighting connector. Free the siren connector from its constraints. Remove the dust cap from the connector.
2. See Figure 2. Snap the siren (2) into the siren bracket (3) so that the sounder disc (4) fits the notch in the bracket as shown. Connect the siren connector (1) to the siren.

d. Position the siren bracket (3) over the four holes in the frame pan.
e. Drive the four self-tapping screws (1) into the holes.

4. Apply a light coat of Harley-Davidson electrical contact lubricant (H-D Part No. 99861-02), petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to the battery terminals.
WARNING
Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
5. Refer to the owner's manual and follow the instructions to attach the battery cables (positive cable first).
WARNING
After installing seat, pull upward on seat to be sure it is locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift causing loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00070b)
6. Refer to the owner's manual and follow the instructions to install the seat.
NOTE
The siren may not function properly when first installed. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries discharge fairly rapidly when stored. They will lose as much as 1%-2% of their charge per day, and after a few months of storage at room temperature will be mostly discharged. If stored for a very long period without charging, they may need a few charging cycles to regain their full capacity.
To charge the NiMH battery, operate the motorcycle for a minimum of four hours.
SIREN DIAGNOSTICS
  • If the siren is armed and the internal siren battery is dead, shorted, disconnected, or has been charging for a period longer than 24 hours, the siren will respond with three chirps on arming instead of two.
  • The internal siren battery may not charge if the vehicle's charging system is producing less than 12.5 volts.
  • If the siren does not chirp two or three times on a valid arming command from the security system, the siren is either in chirpless mode, not connected, not working, or the siren wiring was opened or shorted while the siren was disarmed.
  • If the siren enters the self-driven mode where it is powered from the siren's internal 9 volt battery, the turn signal lamps may or may not alternately flash. If the security system activates the siren, the turn signal lamps will alternately flash. If the siren has been armed and a security event occurs, and the siren is in self-driven mode, the siren will alarm for 20-30 seconds and then turn off for 5-10 seconds. This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if the siren is in the self-driven mode.
SMART SIREN BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The siren's internal 9-volt battery is rechargeable and does not need to be replaced on a regular basis. Battery life under normal conditions is approximately three to six years.
NOTE
When battery replacement is needed, only a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) 9 volt battery should be used in the siren. These are widely available at local battery outlets.
To Replace the Battery:
  1. Refer to POWER DISCONNECT in the owner's manual and follow the instructions to prevent the security module from actuating the siren.
  2. Remove the siren box from the vehicle. Refer to the siren installation procedures in this instruction sheet.
  3. Open the battery cover by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the slots on the side of the siren box. Press until one corner of the cover pops up slightly.
  4. Insert the screwdriver into the second slot, and press until the cover pops open. Remove the cover and gasket.
  5. Remove the old battery from the siren box, and gently unfasten the snap connector from the battery. Save the grease coating the terminals.
  6. Coat the terminals of the snap connector and the new NiMH nine-volt battery completely with the grease from the old connection.
    7. NOTE
    If not enough lubricant remains to completely cover the terminals, Electrical Contact Lubricant (H-D Part No. 99861-02) is compatible, and is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer
  7. Snap the connector onto the new battery, and install the battery into the siren box.
  8. Set the siren box on a work surface with the battery opening facing up. Position the gasket and battery cover onto the siren box with the rounded corners facing out.
  9. Press the cover down onto the siren box and press the tabs in with the screwdriver until the tabs snap into the slots in the box.
  10. Install the siren box into the vehicle.
  11. Dispose of the old NiMH battery in accordance with local regulations.
