Changing the passive arming
settings (passive immobiliser or full
passive arming)
1. Once you have found the passive arming selection
(Switch 2), press BOTH buttons of the remote
control to select the switch. A triple beep will be
heard confirming you have entered the switch.
2. The factory default setting for this switch is OFF. If
you wish to turn it ON (full passive arming of the
alarm and immobiliser) press the GREY button of
the remote control and the system LED will be lit
confirming you have selected full passive arming.
If you wish to return to passive immobiliser only,
press the BLACK button of the remote control and
the LED will be OFF to confirm the setting.
How to remove your machine's battery
You can remove the battery at any time when the
system is 'immobilised only' or in 'winter mode'.
Winter mode also stops the remotes operating the
system making this setting better.
If the alarm system has been armed, the internal
battery back-up system (S4 Red and Green only) is
also turned on and disconnection of the battery will
cause the alarm system to sound.
If you have changed the standard default setting of
the alarm to full passive arming the easiest way to
remove the machine's battery is to select 'winter
mode' prior to removal of the battery.

Questions and answers
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.
