Activation consists of assigning two fobs to the system and entering an initial PIN.
NOTE
If the fob is lost or inoperable, the PIN allows the owner to disarm the system. See General.
1. Configure the security system by assigning both fobs to the vehicle.
2. Configure the security system by entering a PIN picked by the owner.
Record the PIN in the owner's manual. Instruct the customer to carry a copy (use the wallet card found in the owner's
manual). See General.
Once the system has been activated, it "arms" within 5 seconds of switching the IGN switch to OFF and no motorcycle
motion.

Use DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (Part Number:HD-48650) to assign both fobs to the vehicle.
NOTE
Choose the correct fob type. Choosing incorrectly at the beginning of the process will result in a failure to assign
the fob. This can be mistakenly diagnosed as a bad fob or SCM.
When assigning a fob, keep the fob within 1 m (3 ft) of the vehicle seat.
See Figure 1. Follow the menu prompts to scan the fob serial number with the bar code reader. Alternatively, enter the
number using the keyboard. Use DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (Part Number:HD-48650) to assign fob and enter initial PIN.
NOTE
Each fob has a unique serial number. Attach fob label to a blank NOTES page in the owner's manual for reference.

Fob serial number

Figure 1. Fob Serial Number
The PIN consists of five digits. Each digit can be any number from 1 through 9. There can be no zeros (0) in the PIN. Use
the PIN to disarm the security system in case the fob becomes unavailable.
The rider can change the PIN at any time. Refer to Table 1.
Modifying an Existing PIN
If a PIN was previously entered, the odometer will display the equivalent digit. Each additional press of the left turn
switch will increment the digit.
Examples:
To advance from 5 to 6, press and release the left turn switch 1 time.
To advance from 8 to 2, press and release the left turn switch 3 times (9-1-2).

With a fob present, the security system can be configured for service by disabling the security system with DIGITAL
TECHNICIAN II (Part Number:HD-48650).
Once disabled, the vehicle can be operated without an assigned fob present. To maintain the service mode, the assigned
fobs must be kept out of range. If the fob appears in range, the service mode is cancelled.
It is possible to arm the security system without enabling the motion detector for one ignition cycle. The motorcycle can be
moved in an armed state. The motorcycle cannot be turned on or started while in transport mode until the fob is present.
To Enter Transport Mode
1. With security fob present, set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN.
2. Set the OFF/RUN switch to OFF.
3. Simultaneously press both the left and the right turn signal switches within five seconds of turning the
OFF/RUN switch to OFF.
4. Following a single flash, the turn signals flash three times to indicate that the system is armed in transport
mode.
To Exit Transport Mode
With the fob present, set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN to disarm the system and exit transport mode.
Battery Replacement Schedule
Replace the fob battery every year.

NOTE
For protection against corrosion, battery terminals and battery clip are covered with a special grease. Do not
wipe away this substance. Apply all available existing grease to terminals on new battery.
Use only a 9 V nickel metal hydride battery in the siren.
3. Replace 9 volt battery (4) by removing old battery from polarized battery clip.
4. Recharge and install or install a new 9 volt nickel metal hydride battery.
