Default Security system and PIN

Here's the deal I have an 09 Electra Glide Ultra Classic I picked up used a couple years ago. No owners manual.
I have the instructions printed up on how to change the PIN in the security in case the FOB is lost
But is there a place or a link I can pull up and print off the instructions on just HOW to use the PIN to start the bike
that I can stick in the saddlebag with my insurance and registration just in case I have to use the PIN to start the bike?

The only thing I have seen is youtube videos.
Can you imagine me, trying to find a youtube video on how to start my bike using the PIN with my phone
The phone would get thrown, I would be having a conniption fit, get arrested, sent to a mental institution, medicated, and left babbling and drooling about
how the bike wouldn't start LOL

Any help with a link where I could copy/save the starting instructions that I can print up would be greatly appreciated

Owners manuals are free on Harley's website. Just print out the section you are looking for.

You can print this out for your saddlebag.

Do you know the current PIN?

You must know the current PIN or have the FOB.

I bought the bike used a couple years ago. I do have the FOB but I do not know the PIN. I am going to change the PIN

I tried quoting you before but I don't think I did the quote right

I love problems. They make life so wonderful
I have the instructions for changing the PIN. And the instructions I have are the same as what the owners manual says.
But I follow the instructions and about the best I get is the hazards coming on.
Starting with number 2 states

2) With an assigned FOB present, turn IGN key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON
3) Press left turn signal switch 3 times
4) Press RIGHT turn signal switch one time and release
*Turn signals will flash 3 times. Current PIN will appear in the odometer. The first digit will be flashing

And that is as far as I get. The current PIN does not appear. What did happen was the hazards came on.
I tried this several times with the same result. The odometer showing the miles and no old PIN
Yes I have a FOB. And yes it works. I can put the FOB in my bedroom on the dresser go the garage and
try starting the bike and the turn signals flash with with no juice to the start switch.

Any ideas?

If you know anyone with a techo research or Diag4Bike diagnostic tool, they can retrieve the code for you, and change it as well.
