Plan an install Make sure that the motorcycle battery is fully charged. Verify that no moving parts will interfere with the components. Do not route wires near sharp edges which could cut wires and create a short. Do not mount components near high heat sources such as the exhaust pipes. Do not install the RLINK Module under any metal. The internal antenna can transmit through fiberglass, leather, or plastic. TECH TIP RLINK has an internal cellular and external GPS antenna. Do not mount in a location where the unit will be completely blocked by metal (such as under the fuel tank). Ideal locations are under the seat or in the tail section. 6
Mounting Select a suitable location under the seat or side cover that the module can lay as flat as possible. The RLINK harness has three wires. You ll need to connect these to your bike. Red: Install the terminal ring of this wire directly to the battery positive post. Black: Install the terminal ring of this wire directly to the battery negative post. 7
Switched power COMMON TAIL LIGHT POWER WIRE COLORS Honda Brown or White w/black stripe Kawasaki Red Suzuki Brown Yamaha Blue w/red stripe Harley-Davidson Blue Ducati Yellow TECH TIP RLINK requires proper installation of the switched power wire to function correctly. Switched power is hot (12 volts) when the ignition is on, zero volts when off. Common switched power sources are the tail light, (NOT the brake light), the license plate light, and some accessory plugs. 8
Locate the 12 volt switched wire source on your vehicle. The most common applications are the tail light power wire (not the brake light) or the license plate light power wire. Do not attach the RLINK white wire to any LED light sources, LED lights operate at a lower voltage. White: Install this wire to a 12 volt switched source using the provided Quick Connector. For example: the tail light or license plate light power wire. Remove the cap on the open end of the Quick Connector attached to the white wire of the installation harness. Insert the switched power wire of the vehicle into the slot in the cap. Tighten the cap back on to the Quick Connector. 9
Attach GPS Attach the GPS antenna to the RLINK. Secure the GPS antenna in a safe location where it is not blocked by metal and pointed toward the sky. The antenna is magnetic, but also secure it with the included hook & loop/cable ties. GPS Plug in RLINK Plug the installation harness into the RLINK module. Secure the module with the included hook & loop/cable ties. 10
TECH TIP RLINK includes a back-up battery to protect your motorcycle in case of theft. The back-up battery will power the device when disconnected from power. To disconnect the device without triggering the back-up battery, unplug the main harness within 5 seconds of turning on the motorcycle s ignition. 1) Turn on the ignition switch. 2) Unplug the main harness within 5 seconds. 11
Testing the installation Once the harness is plugged in confirm that there are lights illuminated on the RLINK module to confirm you have good power and ground. Turn the ignition switch of the motorcycle to the on position. Confirm that a red light is now illuminated solid on the RLINK module. Turn the ignition switch of the motorcycle to the on position. Confirm that a red light is now illuminated solid on the RLINK module. Note: the red right will start blinking after a few seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Confirm the red light is now blinking. Note: Upon ingition off, the red light will blink for a couple minutes as it enters powersave mode. 12
RLINK Modes Theft Tracking By default, your RLINK system is always armed and prepared to track a theft, should you initiate the theft tracking map. Theft Geofence In addition, when your motorcycle s ignition is turned to off, RLINK automatically creates a 500 foot safe zone around your motorcycle, in which RLINK will notify you via push notification and SMS message (if SMS message is set up) if your motorcycle is moved outside that area. Real-Time Theft Tracking Map & Temporary PIN for Authorities In the event that you report your bike stolen via the report stolen feature located in the REVER app, RLINK will automatically track the motorcycle s location. To provide authorities with temporary, real-time tracking of your motorcycle, provide the url, www.rlink.com/theft and the temporary PIN located in the Report Stolen section of the REVER App. All PINs provide access to the motorcycle s real time location via RLINK s Theft Tracking Map for 24 hours. 13
Online Mode When your RLINK is online, it has actively communicated with the RLINK server within the past 5 minutes. RLINK will enter the online mode if your motorcycle s ignition is on or upon being woken up by detecting events, such as shock, tilt, ignition on or battery disconnect. Offline Mode RLINK will go offline if it cannot establish a cellular connection or if it has been disconnected from your motorcycle s battery and RLINK s backup battery is emptied of its charge. Pro Tip: To avoid losing connection to cellular, we recommend that you avoid parking your motorcycle in parking structures that can dampen cellular connectivity. Power-Save Mode RLINK uses advanced sensors and a sophisticated power-save mode to minimize the draw on your motorcycle s battery. RLINK will automatically switch into power-save mode, without sacrificing security, if it is idle for 2 minutes. Any theft event, such as shock, tilt, ignition or theft geofence alert will change RLINK s status out of power-save mode and into active online mode. 14
Transport Mode Transport Mode allows you to turn off your RLINK system. Use the app to enable Transport mode when performing maintenance, trailering the motorcycle, or anytime you do not want the alarm enabled. WARNING: Your motorcycle is not protected when in Transport Mode. Transport mode cannot be disabled remotely from the REVER Mobile App. To turn off transport mode, Quickly turn the ignition On/Off, which will turn on RLINK so that it can attempt to secure a cellular connection. 15

Alerts States Always Armed and Always Reporting As stated above, the RLINK system is always armed and prepared to report to you about possible theft events and an actual theft itself. Therefore the RLINK device will always report events it detects to the RLINK Server. Master Alerts On/Off vs. RLINK Alerts Settings LINK s Alerts On/Off feature acts as a toggle switch to enable or disable the specific RLINK alerts you have configured in RLINK s Alerts Settings section in the REVER app.". Theft Geofence and Battery Disconnect Designed to prevent theft, RLINK will always report to owners via push notification and SMS message (if phone number is entered) theft geofence alerts and battery disconnect alerts, whether alerts are on or off. Disable Alerts with Ignition On Event Alerts are disabled when the motorcycles ignition is turned on and will revert back to the alert state set by the RLINK Owner via the REVER app once motorcycle ignition is returned to off. The power of this feature is that you, as an RLINK owner can choose to always have alerts on, having a truly always on alerts system while being able to ride without receiving alerts. 17
Pro Tip: If you are concerned that a thief may turn on your bike and ride off without you noticing, dont be. In RLINK s Alerts Settings section, configure ignition alerts on to be alerted anytime RLINK detects your motorcycle s ignition state being turned on. Back-up Battery RLINK has a built in back-up battery to power the device if a thief attempts to disconnect the battery. The following steps are required to properly disconnect the RLINK smart device without triggering the back up battery: Turn on the ignition switch. Unplug the main harness within 5 seconds. Warning: Unplugging the RLINK device without following these steps will result in unwanted SMS and push alerts as well as unnecessarily draining the back up battery. 18
Sensitivity Level The sensitivity level of your RLINK device can be adjusted in the RLINK Settings section of the REVER app. Please note, to adjust the sensitivity level, your motorcycle must have its ignition on. Firmware Updates RLINK can receive over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates when new features are released. You can see any available RLINK firmware updates in the RLINK Settings section of the REVER app to view any available updates. If a new RLNK firmware is available, you can initiate a firmware update directly through the REVER app. To successfully start the firmware update, the device must be online with your motorcycle ignition set to off. To achieve this state, we recommend turning on your motorcycle and then immediately turning off your motorcycle and waiting for the device to successfully complete a cellular connection with the RLINK Server. You can confirm the RLINK smart device is connected through the REVER app. 19
