'Panic/locator' feature
Press and hold the BLACK button of the remote for
3 seconds with the ignition switched OFF to enter
'panic/locator' mode.
The siren will sound and the indicators will flash until
any button is pressed on the remote control to turn
the panic/locator mode off.
When triggered, the alarm system reverts to the
original state held before the button was pressed to
activate the panic/locate mode.
Press and hold BLACK button for three seconds

Winter mode

The purpose of this mode is to enable you to leave
the machine for long periods of time with the alarm
drawing an absolute minimum current (250µA) from
the machine's battery. In this mode the alarm system
is no longer active and it leaves the machine
immobilised only.
Should you decide to place the machine in this state,
we strongly advise you to use further measures to
protect your machine with quality physical security
such as the Thatcham approved Datatool
Lock and Chain system combined with a Datatool
Fortress Ground Anchor.
NOTE: The machine's battery will still naturally
discharge over time so we advise you to check
its condition periodically.

From the disarmed state, press both buttons on the
transmitter for 10 seconds with the ignition ON

OFF the alarm unit will go into winter sleep mode.

Ignition
OFF
Exiting 'Winter' mode
To re-activate the alarm system the ignition has to
be switched ON and the alarm will give a series of
increasing rate beeps which last for 5 seconds.
Within this time press the GREY button on the
remote control or the alarm system will trigger.
Once the unit has woken up it will come back as a
fully armed alarm/immobiliser. This ensures that if
the machine is attacked by a third party, it is fully
protected.

Hi. I have a bike which got unplugged from the t/charger causing a flat battery. The battery for the bike is ok now but the alarm initially kept going off then set,or so it seems. The alarm is not showing arming or disarming now. My bike can be started and the flashy light on the fob is working. Pls help?

To troubleshoot the Datatool S4 alarm system that is not showing arming or disarming after a flat battery:

1. Check the Fuses – Ensure all motorcycle fuses, including the alarm fuse, are intact.
2. Reset the Alarm – Disconnect the alarm system and reconnect it to reset.
3. Check the Wiring – Ensure all alarm connections are secure and no wires are damaged.
4. Use a Battery Conditioner – If the battery was disconnected, using a Datatool battery conditioner can help maintain the charge.
5. Check Ignition Sense – If the alarm does not respond even with ignition ON, verify that the alarm unit is receiving ignition sense.
6. Verify Kill Switch Position – Ensure the kill switch is in the ON position.
7. Reinstall Indicators Properly – If indicators were changed, ensure correct wiring to avoid alarm malfunction.

If the issue persists, contact your dealer for further assistance.
