    Hi,


    I've got a problem with my Evo alarm.


    Late in november, my alarm handset battery got discharged, a­ couple
    days later i replaced it, but now doesn't disarm the bike (w­hen the
    circle button is pressed in the handset the red light seems ­ok) and
    everytime i try to switch bike on, the alarm goes off.
    Ended up leaving it, intending to deal with it now in januar­y.


    During the last couple of months the bike battery got discha­rged. So
    I
    took it out of the bike and recharged it using optimiser III­. When i
    plugged my battery back to the bike today, the alarm went of­f. This
    happens as soon as the bike connectors got in touch with the­ battery.



    The troubleshooting section ondatatool wasn't very clear.
    Would this be a simple case of:
    .. the handset being out of sync with the alarm
    .. or the alarm being 'spiked'


    How would i know which is which and how to resolve it? Can y­ou please
    advise.


    Best Regards and many thanks in advance
    Ped

    If your transmitter is out of alignment with the control unit you should
    press both buttons for at least 5 seconds, release and try again. If the
    red LED on the transmitter flashes at 1 per second replace the battery
    when convenient as it's getting a bit weak. If it flashes at 5 per
    second replace immediately with a type GP23A battery as it's about to
    fail completely.

    Helpful.

    If the red LED on the transmitter flashes at 1 per second
    I think he already knows that bit :)

    My 2p would be to contact Datatool (not just read their website) and ask
    them - or ring a motorcycle dealer and see if they'll give a of advice.
