Anti-Theft Alarm

6

The anti-theft alarm consists
of an immobilizer and an alarm
function with a motion sensor.
The immobilizer prevents the
unauthorized starting of the en­gine, the alarm function triggers
an alarm on any attempt to move
the motorcycle, to change its po­sition or to disconnect the motor-

Overview

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 bat­tery and to maintain starting abil­ity, the activated anti-theft alarm
automatically switches off the
alarm function after several days.

However, it remains active for at
least seven days. The immobi­lizer is not deactivated.

Radio interference

Radio systems or devices which
transmit on the same frequency
as the remote control of the anti­theft alarm can interfere with its
operation. In case of problems of
this kind, point the remote con­trol at the motorcycle from a dif­ferent direction.

Splash-water protection

The remote control is splash-wa­ter protected, however it is not
waterproof. To ensure its proper
operation, BMW Motorrad rec­ommends protecting the remote
control against heavy rainfall.

1 Left-hand button (corru-

gated) ( 10)
