NOTE
The siren may not function properly when first installed. NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 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 your motorcycle for a minimum of 4 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 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 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 to 30 seconds and then turn off for 5 to 10 seconds. This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if the siren is in the self-driven mode.
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) nine-volt battery should be used in the siren.
Use Security System Siren Battery Replacement Kit (H-D Part Number 69018-00). In addition to the 9-volt NiMH battery, this kit contains a replacement battery cover, cover gasket and instructions needed to ensure continued proper operation of the siren.
To Replace the Battery:
- Refer to the Owner's Manual and follow the instructions given to disarm the security system.
- Remove the siren box from the vehicle. Reference the siren installation procedures for your model in this Instruction Sheet.
- Follow the instructions included with the Battery Replacement Kit to remove the battery cover, and remove and replace the battery. Replace the old seal and battery cover with the new items from the kit.
- Re-install the siren box into the vehicle.
- Dispose of the old NiMH battery in accordance with local regulations.
