Depends on the age of the bike, my 2003 Dyna had a push-button factory fob.

07 came with passive fob alarm that automatically arms once the fob is about 10' away from the bike. Older than that had the push button style.

OP Did you test the battery in your fob I've installed new ones and found them to be nfg.

Check your battery in the fob.
