'Sleep' mode
All alarm systems use a small amount of current
during operation and we advise if the machine is to
be left for an extended period in the armed state, it
is left connected to a float charger suitable for
maintaining the condition of the battery without
damaging it, such as the Datatool
Conditioner (Pt No. 02012011).
However the Datatool

level sleep procedure to reduce the current
consumption of the system as the motorcycle battery
starts to discharge. This system reduces the risk of
damaging the machine's battery through being left in
a discharged state. The levels of sleep are as follows:
Level 1 – Switching Point 11.5 Volts
- The LED flash rate is slowed to once every 10
seconds.
- The receiver is switched off unless the LED is
turned on, (i.e. the alarm will only disarm as the
LED flashes).
All other features remain unchanged.
Level 2 – Switching Point 10.5 Volts
- The LED flash rate is slowed to once every 30
seconds and the brightness of the LED is reduced
- The Siren will give a low level audible beep
every 60 seconds to warn you of a potential
battery failure.
- Shock Sensor is turned off (the movement sensor
remains turned on).
- The receiver is switched off and the remote will not
turn off the alarm until the ignition is turned ON.

Hazard warning lights
This is a hazard light warning feature for motorcycles
even if they do not have a hazard-warning switch.
Pressing both the GREY and BLACK buttons of the
remote control for 3 seconds when the ignition is
OFF and the alarm system is armed will start the
hazard warning lights.
NOTE: If the motorcycle battery voltage is too low to
maintain this feature, the lights will flash 5 times and
then stop.
To turn off the hazards either press both buttons
again for 3 seconds (leaves the system armed) or
press the GREY button to disarm the alarm system
and turn off the hazard lights.
NOTE: For safety reasons the hazard light feature
cannot be used with the ignition turned on.
Press and hold GREY and BLACK at the same time

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.
