Yes, you arm with the key fob and pager. When I'm running around town and not expecting to stay anywhere long, I just use the key fob. The alarm sound is enough to get my attention without the pager. I usually only use my pager when I'm out of town or staying in a hotel.
Since you are overseas watch for frequency interference on the pager. I don't know if German spec Harleys use different pager freqs.I figured I might run into trouble with the freq since I'm in Japan, so I just installed the regular siren behind the fender. Over here, most wireless stuff runs in different freq ranges than the states.
I installed smart siren II with pager on my 06FXST. Need a bike lift to do it. Very simple plug in.You need to use the keyfob to arm/disarm and the pager will beep and acknowledge/blink. The pager(vibrate and/orbeep)works pretty good. It will warn you from initial short beepwarnings to full siren.You can let it sit for 2-3 months without draining battery. Pager batt lasts 1-2 months normal use. $3-4 @ Radioshack or get the rechargable one.The only thing that annoys me is why do I have to carry two(keyfob & pager). Can't they put it together, make it one item.
It is very easy to install...see center of pic...
I purchased the pager too before a trip to the Big Bend...
Stayed at a Ramada Inn, thick concrete walls....and seemed to lose the FM signal to the pager.(update: see my next post..this is not a problem..normal operation)..room was about 200 ft from bike...
next time will park bike right outside room window....
(update:Only therange confirmation signal stops after an hour...so if you are within range your pager will still receive the alarm.. )
You're right.... didn't read that part....
Only therange confirmation signal stops after an hour...so if
you are within range your pager will still receive the alarm..
Thanks...that's comforting.....
