Overview

General Information on

Anti-Theft Alarm

The anti-theft alarm consists

of an immobilizer and an alarm

function with a motion sensor.

The immobilizer prevents the

unauthorized starting of the en-

gine, the alarm function triggers

an alarm on any attempt to move

the motorcycle, to change its po-

sition or to disconnect the motor-

cycle battery.

The sensitivity of the system is

designed so that slight jolts to

the motorcycle do not trigger an

alarm.

You can adjust the behavior

of the anti-theft alarm to your

wishes in partial areas.

Protecting battery

To protect the motorcycle bat-

tery and to maintain starting abil-

ity, the activated anti-theft alarm

automatically switches off the

alarm function after several days.

However, it remains active for at

least seven days. The immobi-

lizer is not deactivated.

Radio interference

Radio systems or devices which

transmit on the same frequency

as the remote control of the anti-

theft alarm can interfere with its

operation. In case of problems of

this kind, point the remote con-

trol at the motorcycle from a dif-

ferent direction.

Splash-water protection

The remote control is splash-wa-

ter protected, however it is not

waterproof. To ensure its proper

operation, BMW Motorrad rec-

ommends protecting the remote

control against heavy rainfall.

Controls

1 Left-hand button (corru-

gated) ( 10)

2 Right-hand button ( 12)

For the position of the in-

dicator LED on the mo-

torcycle, please see the Rider's

Manual of your motorcycle.

Overview

Code card

The anti-theft alarm is delivered

with a sealed envelope which

contains the code card 1. This

code card contains the secret

code (remove sticker) for deac-

tivating the anti-theft alarm with

the ignition.

The secret code is stamped onto

the anti-theft alarm in encrypted

form and is also contained in the

delivery scope as a sticker 2.

You should apply the sticker at

a concealed location on the mo-

torcycle.

Should you forget the secret

code and loose the code card,

then your authorized BMW

Motorrad retailer can ask BMW

for your secret code using the

numeric code.

Operation

Activation

Activation without remote

control

Switch off ignition.

Activation by switching

off the ignition must be

programmed. The following

can be programmed:

Automatic activation of immo-

bilizer without alarm function

(factory setting).

Automatic activation of immobi-

lizer with alarm function.

Programming anti-theft alarm

( 14).

50 seconds are required to ac-

tivate the programmed func-

tions. The indicator LED does

not light up during this time.

Another 15 seconds are re-

quired for the activation; this is

indicated by rapid flashing of

the indicator LED (0.1 sec. on,

0.5 sec. off). The LED does

not flash if only the immobilizer

is activated.

After completing the activa-

tion, the turn indicators light

up twice and the acknowledg-

ment tone sounds twice (if pro-

grammed).

The anti-theft alarm is now ac-

tive; this is indicated by slow

flashing of the indicator LED

(0.1 sec. on, 0.9 sec. off). The

LED does not flash if only the

immobilizer is activated.

Activation with remote

control

Switch off ignition.

Press button 1 of remote con-

trol.

The immobilizer and the alarm

function are always activated

with the remote control.

15 seconds are required for

the activation; this is indicated

tor LED (0.1 sec. on, 0.5 sec.

off).

After completing the activa-

tion, the turn indicators light

up twice and the acknowledg-

ment tone sounds twice (if pro-

grammed).

The anti-theft alarm is now ac-

tive; this is indicated by slow

flashing of the indicator LED

(0.1 sec. on, 0.9 sec. off).

Drained battery

If the alarm tone sounds four

times following activation, then

the internal anti-theft alarm bat-

tery is discharged. No alarm can

be triggered when the anti-theft

Operation

alarm is disconnected from the

motorcycle battery.

To charge the anti-theft alarm

internally:

Drive for a longer time, or

Leave ignition switched on for

a longer time and connect a

trickle-charger to motorcycle

battery

Motion sensor when

transporting motorcycle

If, for example, the motorcycle

is to be transported by train, it is

advisable to switch off the motion

sensor. The strong movements

could result in the alarm acciden-

tally being triggered.

Deactivating motion

sensor

Press button 1 of remote con-

trol again during activation

phase.

Turn indicators light up three

times.

Acknowledgment tone sounds

three times.

The alarm can be triggered by

the motion sensor

switching on the ignition with-

out deactivating the anti-theft

alarm beforehand

disconnecting the anti-theft

alarm from the vehicle bat-

tery (anti-theft alarm battery

assumes the power supply -

alarm tone only, no lighting up

of the turn signals)

If the internal anti-theft alarm bat-

tery is discharged, all functions

are maintained; only the alarm

triggering when the motorcy-

cle battery is disconnected is no

longer possible.

If only the immobilizer is active,

then no alarm will be triggered

after switching on the ignition

without prior deactivation of the

Operation

anti-theft alarm. Instead, the indi-

cator LED lights up.

Alarm

The duration of the alarm is

26 seconds. After another

12 seconds, the alarm is active

again. A triggered alarm can

be interrupted at any time by

activates the DWA.

During the alarm, an alarm tone

sounds and the turn indicators

flash. The type of alarm tone can

be programmed.

Reason for an alarm being

triggered

After the anti-theft alarm has

been deactivated, the anti-theft

alarm indicator LED signals the

reason for a possible triggering of

the alarm for one minute:

1x flashing: motion sensor

2x flashing: ignition switched

on with anti-theft alarm armed

3x flashing: disconnection of

anti-theft alarm from vehicle

battery

This display goes out after a
