6.1 Locking Your Bicycle

1. Remove the lock from its mounting bracket.

3. Wrap the lock around your bicycle frame and an immovable object (e.g., a bike rack, lamppost). Ensure the lock passes through a wheel and the frame for maximum security.

6.2 Alarm Function

The integrated alarm is triggered by significant movement or impact. It typically provides a warning sound before a full alarm to allow for accidental bumps.

• Warning Sound: A short, less intense sound will activate upon initial minor movement. This allows you to adjust the bike or prevent accidental full alarms.
• Full Alarm: If movement continues or a stronger impact is detected, a loud, continuous alarm will sound for a set duration (e.g., 15-20 seconds) before re-arming.
• The alarm will reset and re-arm if no further movement is detected.

6.3 Unlocking Your Bicycle

1. Insert the key into the lock cylinder.
2. Turn the key to the unlocked position. This will disarm the alarm and release the locking mechanism.
3. Remove the locking bar and fold the lock segments back into their compact form.
4. Store the lock in its mounting bracket for transport.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ABUS lock.

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock body and segments with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of lock lubricant (e.g., graphite-based or silicone spray) to the keyhole and moving parts of the locking mechanism. This helps prevent sticking and ensures smooth operation.
• Battery Replacement: The alarm system requires one CR2 battery. When the battery is low, the lock may emit a specific warning sound or LED indicator. To replace the battery, locate the battery compartment (usually secured by a small screw), open it, replace the old battery with a new CR2 battery, and securely close the compartment. Ensure correct polarity.
