advice - dguard® module:

WARNING!
The dguard®module’s backup battery is designed to have a service life of 10 years. Contact your distributor
once your backup battery has reached the end of its service life. They will help you with the replacement.
The dguard®module is the main interface for accident detection and anti-theft warning and is thus the heart
of your dguard®system. The dguard®module contains the SIM chip required to place an emergency call.
Observe the following requirements at the installation location:
Choose a hidden location (and one that provides maximum protection in the event of an accident) within the
motorbike frame (e.g. under the seat or in the rear of the frame).
INSTRUCTION
Note the cutout for the pressure compensation membrane on the adhesive pad for the dguard®module. Do
not stick anything on the pressure compensation membrane. You can see it on the rear side of the module.
WARNING!
To guarantee full functionality in the event of an accident and to avoid false alarms, ensure that the dguard®
module is properly fixed positioned after installation.

advice - dguard® cable harness & dguard®button:

The dguard®button is the main operating unit on your motorbike. While you ride, a
green LED will inform you about the current system status. You can also use the
dguard®button to make an emergency call manually.
INFO
The dguard®button can be installed with or without a handlebar adapter. Installation with the
handlebar adapter depends on whether your steering rod offers enough space.
If your motorbike does not offer enough space on the steering rod, you can fix the dguard®
button to the cockpit without a handlebar adapter.
INSTRUCTION
The dguard®button can only be placed in one direction on the handlebar adapter. Before
applying the adhesive pad, check the installation direction of the dguard®button on the
handlebar adapter.

advice - dguard® powersupply & Plug and Play:

•Never disconnect the dguard®system from the vehicle battery’s power supply while
making adjustments to the system or performing a software update. A loss of the power
supply can lead to total failure of the dguard® system, which cannot be remedied by the
user.
•If you are uncertain about the correct connection to the ignition terminal 15, ask the
technical support of the motorbike manufacturer.
•To ensure the degree of protection IP67, make sure that all plugs are connected. The free
2-pole connection has a blind plug and is currently not intended for any use.
