Key Number Registration

Locking the Device and Activating the Alarm

1. Position the disc lock onto your motorcycle or scooter's brake disc, ensuring the 14mm T-locking pin passes through a ventilation hole in the disc.
2. Push the lock mechanism firmly until it clicks into place.
3. A single beep will confirm the lock is engaged and the alarm system is armed.
4. The alarm is motion-activated. Any significant movement or tampering with the vehicle will trigger the 110dB siren.

Unlocking the Device and Deactivating the Alarm

1. Insert the key into the lock cylinder.
2. Turn the key to disengage the locking mechanism.
3. Remove the disc lock from the brake disc. The alarm will automatically disarm upon unlocking.

Using the Minder Cable Attachment Eye

The disc lock includes a minder cable attachment eye. This allows you to connect a reminder cable (not included) from the disc lock to your handlebars. This prevents accidental riding away with the disc lock still engaged, which could cause damage to your vehicle.

Maintenance

Battery Charging

The Alpha XA14 is powered by a rechargeable high-power lithium polymer battery. When the battery level is low, the alarm may emit a series of warning beeps or fail to arm. Recharge the battery promptly using the provided USB cable as described in the "Initial Charging" section.

General Care

• Keep the disc lock clean and free from dirt and debris.
• Periodically lubricate the lock cylinder with a suitable lock lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
• Store the disc lock in a dry environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Alarm not arming or sounding: Check the battery level. Recharge the unit if necessary. Ensure the lock pin is fully engaged.
• Lock mechanism stiff: Apply a small amount of lock lubricant to the keyhole and the locking pin area.
• Key difficult to insert or turn: Ensure the key is clean and free of debris. Do not force the key. Lubricate the lock cylinder.
• False alarms: Ensure the lock is securely fitted and the vehicle is stable. Extreme vibrations or strong winds might occasionally trigger the alarm.
