The Immobilizer System - Ducati Monster 795 Owner's Manual

If the battery power is interrupted at any time while
this function is active, when power is restored, the
instrument panel will deactivate the function (the
instrument panel does not remain active for 60
seconds).

The Immobilizer system

For improved antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic
system that inhibits engine operation whenever the
ignition switch is turned off.
Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key
is an electronic device that modulates an output
signal. When the ignition is turned on this signal is
generated by a special antenna incorporated in the
switch and changes every time. The modulated signal
represents the "password" (which is changed at
each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the
ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to
start if it recognises this password.
