I used to put mine in 'ferry' mode when cleaning, servicing etc. Alarm doesn't go off and there's no 15 sec beep.

How do you get it into ferry mode?

according to my user guide ferry mode is achieved by securely grounding the yellow wire ??

When the alarm is on, press the the bigger oval button once. You should get one longer beep than the one you get when switching the alarm off.

i'll be trying that first thing tomorrow otherwise im taking wire cutters to the damn thing.

ps although according to my user guide that just switches off the movement/nudge function, which may be ok for washing the bike but dont think you would be able to move the bike or work on it without setting off alarm.

You can move the bike as much as you want, but you cant turn on the ignition system, also you must be careful to avoid tripping the tamper switch (usually under the seat).

yeah press the bigger button when the alarm is on and it will make a different, but still annoying, beep. then its good to move about etc.
