Once the system has been activated, any attempt to tamper with the motorcycle is indicated acoustically by the siren and visually by all four turn indicators flashing in unison. You can change some of your alarm system's parameters to suit your personal preferences. Conserving battery power In order to conserve the power of the starter battery and ensure that the motorcycle will start, the anti-theft alarm switches off auto- matically a few days after being activated. In most cases, however, it will remain active for at least seven days. Radio interference Radio systems or devices transmitting on the same frequency as the remote control of the antitheft alarm can interfere with operation of the system. If problems of this nature occur, point the remote control toward the motorcycle from another direction.
