Base Unit Setup

Choose a mounting location on the frame or subframe with solid metal contact. The under-seat area is ideal on most motorcycles.

Place the included vibration-dampening rubber pads between the enclosure and the mounting surface.

Secure with the included bracket and M5 bolts. The enclosure must not move or flex — any play degrades accelerometer accuracy.

Orient the enclosure so the USB-C port is accessible for future firmware updates. You do not need to remove the enclosure to update firmware.

Plug the 6-pin waterproof connector from the main enclosure into the relay module. It only fits one way.

Mount the relay module in a protected location — under the seat or behind a fairing panel. It does not need to be potted but should be shielded from direct water spray.

Route the four relay output wires (siren, lights, horn, aux) to their connection points per your bike-specific guide.

Secure the relay module with zip ties or the included adhesive-backed Velcro strip.

Plug the 4-pin waterproof connector from the main enclosure into the OLED display cable.

Mount the display where you can see it — under the seat (visible when seat is removed) or in a discreet location visible from the side.

The display automatically sleeps when the alarm is armed to save power. It wakes on disarm or trigger.

For a cleaner look, the display is optional — the mobile app provides the same status information over BLE.

Clean the mounting surface on the inside of the rear seat cowl with isopropyl alcohol.

Peel the 3M adhesive backing from the antenna puck.

Press firmly onto the inside of the plastic cowl, face up (toward the sky). Hold for 30 seconds.

Route the three SMA cables through the seat gap to the main enclosure area. Connect each cable via the included SMA-to-U.FL pigtail adapters.

Do NOT mount the antenna on a metal surface — metal blocks GPS and cellular signals. Plastic cowls are transparent to RF.

Route all wires along existing factory harness paths where possible. This keeps them protected and invisible.

Secure with zip ties every 15-20cm. Use the included UV-resistant black zip ties.

Leave a 10cm service loop of excess wire near the main enclosure. This allows removal for service without disconnecting wires.

Ensure no wires are near the exhaust, chain, or any moving parts.

Tuck all excess wire and connectors under panels or behind frame tubes.

Reconnect the motorcycle battery: positive terminal first, then negative.

The BeaverPaw OLED (if connected) will show 'BEAVERPAW Starting...' then transition to 'SETUP'.

The status LED pulses blue — the unit is advertising via Bluetooth and ready to pair.

Open the BeaverPaw app on your phone. Tap 'Add Device'.

Select your unit from the list (it appears as 'BeaverPaw-XXXX' where XXXX is unique to your device).

Confirm the 6-digit pairing code shown on both the app and the OLED display.

Once paired, the app shows the device dashboard with status, battery voltage, and controls.

ARM / DISARM: Tap the button in the app. The unit should acknowledge within 1 second. The OLED shows the state change.

Siren (CH1): In the app's debug mode, toggle relay CH1. The siren should sound immediately.

Lights (CH2): Toggle CH2. Both rear turn signals should flash.

Horn (CH3): Toggle CH3. The horn should honk.

Kill Switch (CH4, if installed): Toggle CH4. Verify the engine will not start. Then toggle OFF and verify it starts normally.

Motion Detection: Arm the unit and gently rock the motorcycle. The alarm should trigger within 5 seconds.

Key Switch: Turn the ignition key ON. The unit must immediately disarm and show 'RIDING' on the OLED. The alarm cannot trigger while the key is ON.

GPS Fix: In the app, check Settings > GPS. You should see 4+ satellites and a valid latitude/longitude.

Cellular: In the app, check Settings > Cellular. You should see signal strength and 'Registered' status (if SIM card is installed).
