Remote Control Battery

The remote control uses either a 27A (12V) Alkaline battery (WL03C model) or a CR2032 (3V) Button battery (WL09C model). These batteries typically last 1-2 years (WL03C) or 2-4 years (WL09C) with average use (5 times per day).

Installation Methods

The NineLeaf Bike Alarm offers multiple installation options to suit various applications.

This image demonstrates the versatile installation options for the alarm, including bracket mounting on a seat post, and alternative methods using zip ties or double-sided tape for other locations.

Method 1: Bracket Installation

This method is ideal for bikes, electric bikes, and tricycles, allowing fixation on handlebars, front axle frames, seat tubes, or rear frames.

1. Step 1: Rotate the bracket into the back of the alarm unit until it locks. Then, screw it on to secure it.
2. Step 2: Place two silicone pads on the two-part bracket, aligning the contours with the grooves. Position the bracket with pads on the chosen tube (e.g., seat post) and tighten the screw until the mount is secure and does not slide.
3. Note: Periodically check the tightness of the screw to ensure the alarm remains firmly attached.

Method 2: Zip Ties / Double-sided Tape Installation

Use this method if the bracket diameter is unsuitable for your frame, or for installation in areas like seat cushions, trunks, under pedals, or in front storage boxes.

1. Step 1: If using zip ties, rotate the bracket base into the back of the alarm until it locks.
2. Step 2: Secure the alarm to the desired position using zip ties or double-sided adhesive tape.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Sensitivity

The alarm features 7 levels of sensitivity, allowing you to customize how easily it triggers. This helps reduce false alarms while maintaining effective theft deterrence.

This diagram explains the seven sensitivity levels of the alarm, allowing users to customize how easily the alarm is triggered, from a light touch to a significant impact.

Refer to the remote control instructions for specific button presses to cycle through sensitivity levels. Higher sensitivity levels (e.g., 'Si') will trigger the alarm with a gentle touch, while lower levels (e.g., 'Do') require a stronger impact.

Adjusting Volume and Ringtones

The alarm offers a three-step volume adjustment and a variety of ringtones. Use the designated button on the remote (often labeled 'Change tone' or similar) to cycle through ringtones and adjust the volume to your preference. The maximum volume is 110dB.

This image illustrates the alarm's loud 110dB sound output, designed to deter theft when triggered by movement.
